Haven’t you ever wondered what the world would be like if GeoCities worked on your phone? Glitter Bomb brings interactive cursor effects and confetti-style particle fields to WordPress — with touch support that actually works. See it in action at klatespencer.com/glitter-bomb.
✨ Sprinkle Trail Mode Particles follow your cursor on desktop and your finger on mobile with smooth gesture tracking. Choose between compact trails or scattered drifting patterns.
💫 Particle Field Mode Your entire page becomes a canvas of shimmering glitter. Particles drift, attract to your cursor or touch, and explode into sparkles on click or tap.
Honest assessment: No site needs this. It adds JavaScript, it competes with your content, and enabling it by default on a checkout page would be irresponsible. On a hero section, birthday page, portfolio, or anywhere a little extra is exactly right? Absolutely your call.
Features:
- Touch-optimized from the start — particle trails follow your finger, tap triggers explosions, separate sizing controls for mobile vs. desktop, and an option to disable on mobile entirely
- WCAG 2.2 AA compliant — keyboard navigation, screen reader support,
prefers-reduced-motionrespect - Six color palettes (Rainbow, Metallic, Neutral Spectrum, Warm Sunset, Cool Ocean, Custom)
- Customizable toggle button: position, text, and gradient colors
- No external dependencies, no tracking, no data collection
- Performance optimizations: object pooling, particle culling, canvas scaling, RAF animation
Built with Telex and Claude Code. More details at klatespencer.com/glitter-bomb.
