Features
- Realistic falling and collision behavior for Google UI elements.
- Drag-and-throw interactivity with inertia.
- Rebuild/reset to original layout option.
- Works in modern browsers; performance depends on device/browser.
- Purely cosmetic — preserves original Google page appearance but non-functional for actual searches (some implementations map clicks to real search).
While Google Gravity makes the interface fall apart, Google Slime (sometimes called "Mr. Doob Slime" or "Google Slime Mr Doob") is a separate, equally addictive experiment. In this simulation, the Google homepage is replaced by a viscous, gooey, slime-like substance that reacts to your mouse cursor.
Artistically, these works belong to the tradition of the "Ready-made"—taking an existing object (the Google interface) and recontextualizing it. They act as a form of digital détournement, turning a tool of commerce and data extraction into a toy. They democratize the web experience, reminding the user that they are not just consumers of content, but participants in a programmable environment.
You can drag your mouse through the slime, stretch it, tear it, and watch it ooze back together. The letters of "Google" morph and deform like jelly. It’s not actually a slime toy in the sensory way (no squishing sounds or sparkles), but it captures the physics of a non-Newtonian fluid better than almost any 2D browser toy from its era.
