I don't know how to describe it. Just click the link and try it.
I feel so small now.

This is actually more fun to me than cookie clicker, but not good for a huge chunk of time. Still neat to take a look at. (Pieces of paper generally have the best things.)

I want them to add a horizontal scrollbar.  Otherwise I can't zoom infinitely :c

I do like it a lot though.  I'd like to see how much they could add to it to make it even crazier.  I want to know what happened to the guy who lives in the little red house in the country of Ameristan, on the second planet of a yellow star on the arm of a galaxy whose universe exists entirely in the cytoplasm of a stargod's neuron.

Yeah this is really cool but it's more a toy then a game (although you could certainly say that abou cookie clicker too). I thought it was fun while I was doin it though. Good way to kill a few minutes.

One of my favorite things is sometimes the thoughts of a bird will be "so apparently im the word"

I'm sure this has been mentioned here before, it's very interesting. My favourite thing is finding life in nebulas and asteroids and such.

Heh, this is pretty clever.  I like how I can find new universes in a fire-fighters left nipple.

Edit:  Haha, I navigated into someone's television and found "A foreign show about wizards getting lost in the woods".  :D

Edit 2:  Bwahaha.  Bookshelves are also goldmines.  "A True Story About Pirates, Dragons and Vegetarians."

Edit 3:  The thoughts of a comically small yellow lapdog:
"BWURF"
"BUTTS COME IN MANY FLAVORS"

Edit 4: Oh god the anthills.  Can't stop laughing.

It'd be neat to see drawings of the weird paintings. Maybe I'll do that...

I HAVE FOUND THE BACONVERSE!

And then... all was right.

-Edit-

Found *sprowseship* in a spaceport in the baconverse. On the windowscreen the crew were watching *A foreign show about pirates learning martial arts.*

Baconverse is best verse.

I found the donutverse. The background turned to pictures of donuts.

I was talking about importing alimunim.

Here's the best rendition of a painting I found:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Also, I found the sharkiverse. It had a background of sharks. I like that!
