this has more of an indie gem feel compared to the blockbuster that was stimulation clicker. as others have mentioned it reminds me of scale of the universe flash animation. I think borrowing some ideas from that, including zooming in and out rather than side to side, could have benefits here.

#182The dynamic soundscape is delightful, as it subtly adds instruments and musical texture as you progress. And going back down the scale regresses it to simple again. Smoothly done. It reminded me of Operation Neptune (1991): each level starts with just one channel, probably percussion, and as you progress through the rooms it adds and removes more channels or sometimes switches to a different section of music. It is u…
This is something you do when scoring a game too, wonder if the author ever worked on game programming.
The rest of the author's website is a bunch of games, so I'd say so.

Even if you've never taken a mild psychedelic, this video hits in a similar manner (as sober metaphor).

#184Did a great job keeping the scale jumps fresh. Every step had a little twist instead of just a commonly known larger animal on the next slide. Wild that the Japanese spider crab is basically the same size as an orangutan.

Thanks for the laugh!

These are all riffs on "Powers of 10", a film made in the 70's for IBM by Charles and Ray Eames: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fKBhvDjuy0
Re: Size of Life
#187Neal delivers. I recently learned that viruses are not considered living being, but I'm nevertheless happy they're included here because they're both relevant and interesting in this context.
Hey, if they originated naturally and interact with the environment and reproduce, they are living beings. Mere human taxonomists can't just "classify" away the fact.
Re: Size of Life
#188It seems to be like some of the scales slightly off? If you are looking at the ladybird (ladybug) with the amoeba to the left, the amoeba isn't an order of the magnitude smaller - it would actually be visible by the human eye (bigger than a grain of sand)? Indeed, the amoeba seems the same size as the ladybird's foot? Similarly, this makes the bumblebee appear smaller than a human finger (the in the adjacent picture)…
The T-rex appears taller than the giraffe, but it isn't and the scale in the website itself shows it.
