Kinetic Needles

Inspired by candle ice: every letter is a field of 3D crystal needles in a cyan-to-lilac gradient that sway, glint and part around your cursor. On phones, drag through the letters or tap for a shockwave ripple, and an auto demo keeps them moving. Type any word, pick gradient, solid or Spectrum colour, tune needle length, width, tilt and sway, and choose from six built-in fonts or your own. Built by Buster Studios as part of Kinetic, moving components. Pauses offscreen, keeps phones smooth automatically, and shows gradient text for reduced-motion users and on the canvas.
