site: review — Cursor Camp (graduates from find)

Single-image review of Neal Agarwal's Cursor Camp browser toy, reusing
the find's existing 1200×630 share card. New `play` category — none of
the existing buckets fit a web-toy, and the 2026-05-14 six-browser-games
bundle has 5+ other candidates that will graduate cleanly into it.

 Neal.fun keeps shipping the kind of single-page browser experiences the early web promised — small, weird, requires no account, and you smile within five seconds. Cursor Camp puts the mouse pointer at the centre of the experience: a spinning wheel of cursor variants you can summon and play with. It takes about two minutes and you'll forward it to a friend.

+
+*A campground for your cursor.*
+
+> A single Neal.fun page whose protagonist is the mouse pointer. Open the URL, summon a radial wheel of cursor variants, drag them around an animated camp — no account, no install, no monetisation, about five minutes from open to closed.
+
+Neal.fun has been quietly running the best single-page web-toy studio on the internet for ten years — Stimulation Clicker, Internet Roadtrip, Asteroid Launcher, Spend Bill Gates' Money. Cursor Camp is the latest in the lineage: a softly-illustrated campground, and a radial wheel of cursor variants that orbits your pointer on demand. Click to summon, drag to play.
+
+The trick is that the cursor is the protagonist, not the input device. Variants include a wand, a comet, a magnifying glass, a fishing rod, and about a dozen more, each with its own behaviour against the campground props — tents, fire pits, a lily-padded lake. Two minutes uncovers most; the variety is the whole point.
+
+The infrastructure for this kind of thing barely exists anymore. Every other vendor of micro-entertainment is trying to graduate you to a subscription, an account, or an email capture. Neal's whole catalog ships under the older rules: one URL, no signup, no ads, no app. Cursor Camp is proof that those rules still produce work worth forwarding to a friend.
+
+Desktop only — phones don't have cursors. Five minutes from open to closed; rewards re-visits less than some of Neal's earlier pieces (Internet Roadtrip, which you can lose hours to). But that's the brief: a small thing made well, free, and gone before you've started checking your phone.
