Beautiful work. My 4 year old instantly got it. But she noted that bubbles usually pop themselves. She also wondered when the bubbles would run out.

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

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It’s totally not anything at all related to quantum tunneling in anyway.

Would that actually make sense? Maybe I don't want to know. I'm still grappling with my last bout of "holy moly is the universe a simulation?" after reading about a way of dealing with latency in networked games that looks a lot like relativity.

What is the method of dealing with latency called?

It's really easy to see how big an impact iOS low power mode has in the framerate of something like this.

I'd count Townscaper as a toy as well.

It didn't work (I think? It was just a white screen). I tried changing IP with CTRL+SHIFT+L and it wasn't doing anything, then tried copying the link and opening in a different window, but it wouldn't copy (because I used CTRL+L). Only then I realized it just doesn't let you press any button on the keyboard. JESUS CHRIST never show me this link again.
