It keeps going and going and mutating and mutating like a frickin' Energizer mutant bunny!

If you like that, try the amazing Levers game and Vector Park. Does anyone know more about the guy who created this site?

I sized Egg down to a tiny little "pet" window in the lower right of my browser so I could keep working while it continued to mutate, but my poor PII-400 work machine took a bad performance hit when Egg started rolling around on a wheel and emitting a white gradiated smoke plume. What happens next?

Amazing.
I loved it when the three legs broke off and hopped away on their own. Thanks for the link riffola!

[spoilers for brownpau]: A box with leggs then back to the egg.

help! I have eight objects and only five hangers, I killed the snowman with the lava rock, and God's too heavy.

Most cute. It took me a while (and an accidental bump of the mouse when I reached for coffee) to realise that certain parts of it interact with the cursor. Did I mention it was cute?

Whenever it turns into a teardrop shaped blob with a neck and a conical head that bounces around like flubber on a diet, the head will follow the motion of the mouse.

eddydamascene: here is a levers hint

you eventually want the snowman to melt, it's key to the solution.

All of it interacts with the cursor, except when it's in the middle of changing.

thanks, o2b! got it.

I thought the inertia of the little dude was great - the way it followed your mouse pointer after adjusting for the change of direction rather than just zipping around after it. Nifty.

argh.. now I'm playing Levers and it's driving me nuts.

I melted the snowman, but I'm still missing a place to hang his hat, and I still can't quite balance God (especially with those damn birds flying around).

OMG! I didn't know the objects in Levers interacted!

The egg thing goes forever. All bits of it follow the mouse. I don't know how many things interact with clicks. It's a real time-waster, playing with it. :-)

mega cool...thanks riffola!
posted by madamjujujive at 8:16 PM on August 19, 2003

Hrm.. Ok I got all of the objects balanced (I think) on levers and the only thing that happened was the circle at the top had spinning cascading rays in it... kind of a anti-climatic end... anyone else get anything different?

If you have sound on, you hear clapping.

I forgot to mention before that in this flash, you can click, drag, and toss a ball and the little baseball with propellers (one of the egg's incarnations) chases it down and tries to balance it on his nose. He'll play by himself also -- best flash pet I've seen.

You can also have some fun by teasing him (it?) by bouncing and/or holding the ball just out of his reach, or bouncing it on his head hard, making him fall over.

God, someone help me with this Levers thing. The snowman melted, but what do I do with the hat that's left?
