make yourself a really narrow open-topped tube, fill it with a bunch of tiny blobs, then draw a big ol fat blob in the bottom of it

I've been enjoying making blob runs. Fill an area, carve a closed path with branches, then fill with boosters and watch the blobs fight!

If you tried tilting your phone and nothing happened... I hope they don't mind.

You, the screen tilt seems to go anti-gravity. Do you see them as bubbles rather than blobs?

If you put enough boosters pointing upward along the bottom and sides of a container, you can make the blobs boil in a pleasing way.

All I see is white screen. Click. Drag. Nothing.
Doesn't work with Firefox?

I'm on firefox (on wayland/linux gnome 115.0 (64-bit)), seems fine. Fun even. I have ad blockers/tracker badgers / cookie police etc up the wazoo too.

Yesterday I saw a kid playing with Play-doh⟨™⟩ and my first thought was that "non-toxic" and "edible" are synonyms. Be careful, though, as the label indicates that it contains wheat.

Pretty sure Play-Doh is basically just dough with enough salt added to keep it from fermenting.
