Are you the author? How many levels does it have?

Using the developer tools, each click divides a DIV into 4 tiny DIVs, so it's probably infinite (or until the DIV is rounded to 0 pixel wide and doesn't get mouse clicks anymore).

Using dev tools to trigger the mousedown event beyond the point where they should be too small to click; you can go until the tab crashes.

It'd be great if the sound effects went up in pitch as the bubbles get smaller. The little ones definitely sound different than the biggies.

Separately, if it were an unending page where you keep scrolling after popping, instead of dividing, also would be satisfying

I imagine that you can draw pictures with this, where dark colors are represented by a lot of small bubbles. Not sure what the algorithm for that would look like though.

1. Click all bubbles down to a certain size

Now you have a regular grid of pixels. Take your favorite monochromatic pixel art of size 2^k x 2^k, and

2. Click on grid locations corresponding to black pixels
