The screensaver logo in full screen, with a counter for how many times it has hit the corner while you waited.
Three infinite layers of colour falling forever over a low drone, from the net artist behind half the web's cult toys.
A fidget spinner you flick with the mouse, with physics good enough that people leave it running in a spare tab.
A sheet of bubble wrap that never runs out. Pop with a click or drag across a row, and it refills the moment you finish.
Draw a track and watch a sledder ride it, a physics toy people have spent years turning into hand-drawn music videos.
Scroll to unroll an infinite toilet roll and scroll back to wind it up, presented by the artist with a completely straight face.
Click the cat, the cat pops, and every click is added to your country's total in a global leaderboard nobody asked for.
A twenty-year-old particle sandbox where wind, fire, magma and ice all interact, with thousands of saved player scenes.
Sandwiches rotating slowly on a loop, under a tagline that reads simply, and accurately, that's it.
Falling-sand physics with fire, water, plants and lava, plus a public gallery of what everybody else set alight.
An endless sheet of virtual bubble wrap that pops under the cursor and quietly refills itself behind you.
Wiggle the mouse and a black worm follows; wiggle harder and it strobes violently, so treat the epilepsy warning seriously.

Drag through a full-screen fluid that swirls and bleeds colour behind the cursor, at full frame rate even on a phone.
One button, one detour. Press it as often as you like.
