Dragging ball

One body, deformed by its own speed: the ball lengthens into its direction of travel instead of leaving a trail. And it has to be grabbed, not just dragged — hover swells it, the press pinches it (narrow across the grip, bulge along it), and letting go rounds it back out on a spring.

What it is

One body deformed by its own speed: the ball lengthens into its direction of travel, swells on hover, pinches when grabbed and rounds back out on a spring when released. A study in what 'grab' should feel like — for drag handles, tokens, avatars and playful onboarding. Rebuilt from bencho.dev.
