Press the picture to reduce the points.40,000 → 625 → 40 → 1. Restore at any step.
At fewer points, dots grow and trails linger to help you follow their paths.
“Listen” maps the displayed points to sound.Changing the count rebuilds the sound.
The base stays where it is.
Thirty tentacles sway with different delays.
Even when their tips sweep far, the base remains in place.
