It's a beautiful page! I miss sites like this. Though strangely, it seems to disable all of my browser keyboard shortcuts. Even basic ones like going back, selecting the address bar, or changing the zoom level. I assume it's just listening for all key events, though I didn't even realize it was possible to override the basic ones. edit: I found the bug! It has a list that's supposed to contain all possible keycodes,…

I think it’s designed for mobile or touch screens. Works perfectly on iPhone, and you need touch for various features.

While everyone's loving the bubble physics, I just like the attention to detail where if you put the fan _in front_ of the bubble blower facing away from it, it will still blow bubbles in that direction if the air stream would still be drawn through the blower.

It's a wonderful thing: a toy, not a game. A game has a goal. Here you are free to experiment without being led or nudged. In the world of computer-based entertainment, it is refreshing.

The last time I remember seeing an internet toy was over a decade ago: https://experiments.withgoogle.com/browser-ball

If we're linking to internet toys, here's a bit of shameless self-promotion. Something I made a little while back: https://frogulis.net/little-bits/eye-on-a-string

Thought this was using three.js, but they built their own physics engine: https://github.com/saharan/OimoPhysics

Written in haxe.

That caught me off-guard as well. I only ever written one thing in Haxe, but the experienced was mixed. It worked, but it also kind of painful to work with.

For context: Haxe is a programming language with the main purpose to have several compile targets for many programming languages.

Glad it is working for them.

More of their amazing work here: https://oimo.io/works Also they appear to be a student?

This reminds me of orisinal games!

I made a small tribute[0] to Winterbells last year when beginning to learn Godot. Spent much time with that music on loop way back when playing that cozy game!
