Desktop Ball

About the Game

It lives on your desktop.

It's a little toy that lives on top of your desktop, sort of like a digital fidget spinner.

Play with it in a queue, a meeting, a compile, a render, whenever your hands want something to do. Grab it, fling it around, bounce it off the edges of your monitors, and when you stop playing, it gets out of the way so everything else just works underneath.

Need to blow off some steam?

Yeah... The Supernova is probably the one for you.

Pin it against the edge of your monitor, and it gets DANGEROUSLY HOT. Keep going, and it goes off in a violent thermonuclear explosion. For a little while, your wallpaper gets some nice scorch marks to remember it by.

Feel like DUNKING?

The Basketball comes with its own hoop that slides out from the side of your monitor.

Bounce the ball off the top of the screen, chain together trick shots, and build up a multiplier. Get the perfect dunk and the ball catches fire, followed by a completely unnecessary amount of confetti.

Want a tiny ocean?

Spongeball. Your screen turns into a small, physically simulated ocean.

There's a little school of fish to bother with your cursor, and a sponge that does exactly what you'd expect a sponge to do: soak up water. Drop it in, let it get heavy, then grab it and wring it out against the side of your monitor. Or just slosh the water around aggressively (the fish love it!)

Pick up and play

• Always there for you when you want to grab it

• Hides itself if you go fullscreen, or you can tuck it in a Magnetic Corner

• Four balls right now: Pinky, Basketball, Supernova, and Spongeball. More coming soon :)

I lost an embarrassing amount of development time just playing with it. And it costs less than a cup of coffee :)
