Cursor*10 - Time Waster
This one is a bit of a mind-bender. in Cursor*10, your goal is to make it to the 16th floor by finding and clicking on the staircase in each room. The interesting aspect is that you get 10 chances, and with each chance you get to use a specific cursor. Once your time runs out, you start with the next cursor, but the previous cursor is along for the ride. In other words, it remembers exactly what you did last time, and does it again. It becomes quite a race when you have seven or eight other cursors zooming around from room to room, and in the later stages part of the challenge becomes simply identifying the cursor that you are controlling. But games aren't fun without a little challenge, right?
Cursor*10 isn't going to win any beauty awards, but it's an interesting concept done well.

That's pretty cool.
How do you get past floor 15?
Jason ClarkeJan 7th 2008 1:28PM
I think you have to leave a guy pressing the "useless" buttons on other floors, but I haven't actually been able to successfully do it.

I assumed you have to press all 3 buttons on the top floor at the same time, but that didn't seem to work.

That's how you clear level 7 or 8, but it didn't work for 15... unless you have to have all three buttons pressed together AND for a certain amount of time.

I've been trying to get the "useless" buttons going at the same time too. Maybe there's a pattern? Is it possible that each level needs to be "cleared"?

Here's the answer to getting to the sixteenth floor. (Spoiler alert!)

Hold all switches on all levels, then the final staircase will appear.

SPOILER:
Actually, there are 5 buttons total. 1 is sitting by itself in the bottom corner of a room, with no apparent result from pressing it. Another is in the middle of the room, and causes the stairwell to appear when pressed. The last 3 are all on floor 15. You need only have cursors holding the one by itself with no apparent effect, and the 3 on the 15th floor, to get the final stairwell to appear. Personally, I tried a couple different patterns to get a higher score (highest ended up around 175-ish), but what worked best was for my first guy, go up to the floor with the stairwell appearing one button, hold it for about half the time, then return to the single button and hold it for the rest.

I managed to score 187 or so, and now my finger's all tired out..

Went back again and put some more thought into my pattern, and managed 188. As far as I can tell, that's the maximum possible score.

I think you're right. After I posted I went back and topped out at 188. There don't seem to be any bonuses for extra time or cursor lives.
