If I can get to work on this again I will do that. I'm gonna have to use JS however.

Cool. Sounds really hard though. To look realistic, the drops would have to merge into one another and also follow down previously established paths. It's pretty cool that you did this in just css but I think we have veered into WebGl territory.

Yeah probably. Though still can be done with good enough results without WebGL I believe.

Well that is impressive. However I don't know if there's a way to check for collisions that don't include the mouse pointer in CSS. (and I would like that if one drop falls over another they both merge)

Just figured out that you can make your ship temporarily disappear by right clicking =)
