And The Cursor

Enjoy Playing And The Cursor

I first stumbled upon And The Cursor when I was looking for something a bit offbeat to play during a coffee break, and it immediately caught my eye with its minimalist style. There’s something strangely soothing about a game that hands you nothing but a cursor and a few simple on-screen objects, yet somehow manages to pull you into its world. The graphics are pared down to basic shapes and a soft pastel palette, but it’s exactly that simplicity that lets your imagination fill in the gaps.

As you move the cursor around, you find yourself triggering animations, solving tiny puzzles, or just watching little vignettes play out—sometimes you’re helping a stick figure friend jump over obstacles, other times you’re clicking on floating bubbles to reveal hidden messages. There’s no timer, no glaring objective list, just a gentle invitation to explore at your own pace. I found myself smiling when I discovered a new animation or an unexpected sound effect tucked behind a series of clicks, as if the game is quietly rewarding your curiosity.

What really sold me on And The Cursor is how it turns something as mundane as a mouse pointer into a protagonist with its own quirks and personality. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, but it also never feels aimless. Each little interaction feels purposeful, and by the end of my first playthrough I had this warm, satisfied feeling—like I’d shared a secret moment with the developer. If you’re in the mood for a low-pressure, charming experience that makes you see everyday computer interactions in a new light, give this one a shot.
