Gravitational bodies in space. Click to spawn, drag for velocity. Watch them dance, collide, escape

Digital sand. Drag to pour, watch it pile. Simple physics, satisfying accumulation. Press 1-4 for colors

A wave of pendulums, each slightly longer than the last. Patterns emerge, dissolve, return

The current moment, visualized. Time passes whether you watch or not

Color field meditation. Soft rectangles breathe slowly. The edges blur. Stare long enough

Memories that fade. Click to remember, but they always slip away again

Weightlessness. You're the glowing particle, drifting upward with soft shapes. Let go

Push the boulder. Help it climb. Watch it fall. Again. The absurd made visible

Eyes that track you, multiply over time. Look away and they close. Return and they're staring

Flowers that rot when you stare too long. Dwell time determines flourish or decay

A degrading transmission. Drag to fight entropy — but entropy always wins

Words that fade as you read them. Observation degrades what it touches

A doorway you can never quite cross. Drag to shift the threshold
