Mice Tag

An online multiplayer game that’s just tag using your mouse cursor.

  • You can move your mouse around however you like, as usual.
  • But your player character has a maximum speed at which it follows where your mouse cursor is. (So there’s a delay/smoothing and it doesn’t just instantly snap to where your mouse is, as that would not work in such a game.)
  • So everyone is just moving their mouse around, trying to dodge each other, while grabbing good powerups around the map.
  • Once you’re strong/big enough, you can run into someone else on purpose to tag them.
  • (Optional: you die if you ever accidentally run into yourself, like snake?)

This is actually a nice, simple way to simulate the physical differences between people in real-life tag!
