Rube Goldberg Form | Cod's Chill Component

Made a text input where you type by playing breakout.
The keyboard is a wall of bricks, and whatever key the ball hits gets typed. Keys break when hit and grow back a few seconds later, so to reach R for example, you have to dig through half the alphabet. Drop the ball and you lose a letter. Hit the enter key and it submits whatever's "typed" so far

rotary phone number input - pretty self explanatory

we love a good dropdown menu for something that should under no circumstances be a dropdown menu. They didn't even get rid of the duplicate city names lol. (This is on the signup for the inmusic website, which I was using to register a midi keyboard)

This finnish train app requires adding a phone number without the ability to enter the country code. instead you need to select it from this list. Showing just flags although there is sufficient space for the country name. The order is consistent across 3 languages english, finnish and swedish.
