Components

Gravity Letters

A playful gravity field where letters, numbers, emoji, or any components you pass fall and pile up like real objects.

Interaction Type

Click or tap anywhere to drop a glyph, or press and hold to pour a steady stream. Glyphs tumble as they fall, bounce softly when they land, and pile up into rounded hills. On phones, tilt the device to spill the pile toward the low side. Honors prefers-reduced-motion.

Keep in mind

Most components here are recreations of great work from around the web. I don't claim to be the original creator - this is my attempt to reverse-engineer, replicate, and often add a few extra features. I've tried to credit everyone; if I missed someone, let me know.
