I built a website that turns other websites into ridiculous Rube Goldberg machines

I've been experimenting with turning websites into these ridiculous little mechanical contraptions.

You know, ramps, springs, bells, things bouncing around for absolutely no reason.

I figured websites were getting a little too serious anyway.

I guess you could technically use it to make a marketing video.

But honestly, I just wanted to watch things bounce around.

It's free to play with if you're curious: Thunkroom

I mean I do like puzzles although I never played Crazy Machines before.

As long as it has crazy contraptions I'll play it.

Mostly made it cause I like the sounds tbh.

I saw some pics and yeah it looks pretty old, reminds me of that older Sim City 2000 game.

turning a checkout button into a ball, three ramps and a bell is the most accurate picture of most checkout flows I've seen.

Don't forget about the failed checkout as shown in the claw machine dropping the ball lol.

lol the claw dropping the ball is the most honest picture of a failed checkout I've seen.
