A little break

A little poke. A little joy.

What is Glimpu?

Glimpu is an interactive 3D jelly toy that runs in your browser. Choose a round mochi or a short-eared bunny, give it a poke or a squeeze, and watch it spring back. No account is required. It is a small, playful break in your day.

How do I play?

Click the character or press Space for a little hop. Hold to squish or drag, then release to let it bounce back. On a touchscreen, use two fingers to stretch it. With Spin throws enabled, swipe sideways quickly from the character and release to spin it. Settings let you change its color, stiffness, damping, spin sensitivity and sound volume.

Does it have little moods?

Too much spinning makes it dizzy, and repeated teasing can make it angry. When the anger mark appears, hold it and keep your movements slow to soothe the character. Leave it in peace for a while and it may get sleepy. Switching characters brings a happy greeting and a little hop; reduced-motion mode skips the hop.

Does it work on phones and computers?

Glimpu supports mouse and touch input. It tries WebGPU first and falls back to WebGL 2 when needed. Compatibility and performance still depend on your device, browser and graphics driver. The character cannot run if neither renderer is available. A reduced-motion preference disables the loading bounce and spin throws.

Is this an AI chat app?

V1.1 is a static interactive toy. It does not offer AI conversations or voice companionship, and it does not request microphone access. Voice companionship is a future-version plan, not a current feature.

Where are my settings saved?

Some preferences, including color and language, are saved in your current browser. No account is needed to interact. The hosting provider may process normal web requests and access logs; this does not mean there is no network record.
