Hey I tried multiple times and couldnt beat it, something that happened is that the mouse got out of the screen and messed my progress, you couldtry to lock the mouse to the window and unlock when the player hits "ESC"/Looses.
well, actually I only move the hand object around the cursor, not move the cursor. I only hide it, so basically, your cursor still follows your mouse smoothly and nicely! but not the hand . _ . Thanks for give it a try!
