Cursor*10 may feature the graphical wonder of echochrome and gameplay length totaling in the minutes, but I'll be damned if this isn't the most clever Flash game of 2008. It's currently the top contender for Hot Flash of the Year, introducing many to what will probably be their first timeshifted single-player co-op experience. The game's mechanic is too clever to spoil here, but make sure you, at the very least, give it a few lives. And if you make it to level 16, help me out with a tip, wouldja?

Oh, pretty cool! I'd probably get confused trying to play though, haha.
That game is amazing amounts of fun!
Looks interesting, I would like to give it a go.
What is with Level 8....
Wow, that is incredibly cool, but I must me dumb, how do you get past the 3 pressure switch one? I have 4 cursors inthe room all on the pads... Am I missing something?
Okay... now that is an AWESOME mechanic...
SPOILER
To get past level 15 you need to be clicking the square on level 6.
Its all rather easy, I screwed around alot and beat it, now too get more than 8 points...
This game is ultimate awesome
Wow, this is what I love about games. I honestly did not expect anything like that. Great fun!
There's a Switch at the lvl 6 I think that you must have pressed to have the Stair at the lvl 16 appearing.
Great fun indeed. Good for a time waster...or just great in general. Did I mention great game? Great.
Pretty cool. I died a couple of times without making progress but still made it to the top floor.
"Happy new year!"
So much fun. Took me ages to find out about the switch on level 6.
This game is awesome... To get the last set of stairs you have to press the button on floor 6 while you use the ones on floor 15.
Got it first try. I am awesome.
stupid level 6...who'd have thought it...
Got it, damn that is cool. Wish there were more "Secrets" or what not, but very very cool game.
Ingenious. Need more.
brilliant design. mostly intuitive too.
Can't get much past hte level with the 100 click box :(
woohoo 2008 a happy new year! :p. really cool
The cool thing is, the level 6 switch is in the 4th corner of the room it applies to. That's what caught my eye playing it the second time. Amazing idea for a game.
Awesome game. I got stuck at Level 15, but damn if this isn't the best Flash game of 2008.
/agreed. Awesome Flash game.
I ended up beating this the first time around. but, I loved the concept so much that I played it again.
It's a shame it's not a full featured game :)

Sure would be nice if this was a full featured game :)
That's awesome. I've only made it to 15 so far though.
@swarmster: Yeah..that's when I realized that I in fact suck, and not the game. Yes, very cool idea.
Any high score boasts yet?
That was a great recommendation Michael, I beat it on my very last life the second time around!
Woah...thats cool! Like a dungeon crawl without the party.
That was fantastic
Awesome idea, stuck on lvl 15 though.
Still splendid.
Beat it the second playthrough.
Good game
@McWhertor: 100
Wow. If Echochrome is as fun as this I MIGHT actually consider buying a PSP.
@McWhertor: @Gordon_Shumway: I also got 100. It's probably the max.
100 seems to be the score everyone gets when you finish, no?
Yeah, got it. Puch the button on the 6th floor. Once again: Awesome game :D
188
happy
Extremely clever!
Holy hell, that was the most fun I've had in a flash game in months. The core mechanic would make for an amazing time travel/dimension hopping first person puzzler.
yeah, i got 117. you get 100 for breaking the final block i believe, then a point for each of the blocks you break below. i dont know if there are extra points for having lives left over.
very nice... I also add my vote for MORE.. and i'd pay for this as a PSN (don't have a 360 yet) download if there was enough content.
Really interesting. But I think my co workers that I share an office with wanted to kill me when I was doing that 99 click box so I decided to quit.
@Flashfire: Ah, I see. I didn't realize you could break the other blocks. That makes sense.
To answer your question, no, you don't get more point for more lives. I finished in 7, and still only got 100.
Maxed out at 168. Hope to get all those damn pylons in a bit.
At first I thought it would be really easy to get the max score. But the game is much more clever than you think - if you hit a pyramid late, and then a later cursor hits it early, you get two points instead of one... Damn!
@McWhertor: 188 (but not before playing through it 7 or 8 times)
And is it just me, or was there another flash game a while back with a similar game mechanic? Hell, maybe I'm just crazy and/or mixing up multiple games in my head.
It took me two times to figure it out but excellent game. I've replayed it five times now and it still holds it's clever charm.
Awesome game, and I'd like to call the high-score!
186.
I don't think it's possible to get higher, though I must admit it was hard as hell to get that, it took me all 10 lives.
Not gonna try again with 8 lives to see if it's higher. Not worth it to me.
@code.monkey: Dammit! you beat me by 2.
Still not worth it to try again.
That game was 2008's answer to Portal.
That was the funnest little 4 minutes I've ever had. Could someone make a big sprawling game with this mechanic?
This game is loads of fun! Damn, I want more already!
@Kirbytheslayer: Defeated the Format too: WooHoo! I totally win at the internet (at least for 5 minutes until someone crushes that score)!
And you're right... I'm glad I played it, but I'm out. I remember how much time I spent beating all the staff ghosts in Double Dash and it makes me shutter in horror.
