Click anywhere in the dark to move the hole
Everything on the page becomes debris
The logo, the search box, the buttons, the little coloured dots. They all get treated as loose matter the moment the hole opens, and they don’t fall straight in. They spiral, which is the part that makes this worth watching instead of just clicking once and leaving.
Watch a single letter on its way round. It picks up speed as it gets closer, stretches slightly, then vanishes past the ring. That’s roughly what actually happens out there, minus the part where it takes millions of years.
You can move it
Click anywhere in the dark and the hole relocates. Do it while things are mid-orbit and you’ll fling half of them off in a direction they weren’t expecting. It’s the closest thing this page has to a game.
Mass changes the shape of the orbits
Low mass and debris makes long lazy loops, sometimes escaping entirely off the edge of the frame. Crank it and everything gets dragged in within a few seconds. The interesting setting is the one in between, where some things orbit stably and others don’t, and you can’t tell which is which until it’s too late.
Spin adds a sideways drag so the whole field starts rotating. It looks better than it sounds. It also makes the accretion ring visible, which is the bright band that forms just outside the point of no return.
Feed it
The feed button throws another wave of fragments in. There’s no limit worth worrying about, and a few hundred pieces in the same well is genuinely nice to watch. Close it and the pull cuts out, leaving whatever survived drifting.
The other pull tricks
This is the extreme end of a small family. Google gravity is the version where things just fall and land, and it’s the one to try first. Floating google reverses the direction entirely. Google fan blows the layout sideways with a very large fan.
For destruction that happens in one frame rather than over a minute, thanos snap. The rest sit on google easter eggs.
