I really enjoyed this as a relaxing sandbox toy while sitting at my desk. It was like one of those toys you flip and the sand or water moves to the other side but this one is every element all in one. Cool idea.
I did have a bit of trouble drawing solid lines with my mouse which I wanted to do to make more intricate layers of stone to have the other elements fall through.
Making the snowfall was very relaxing and watching it pile up was cool. Lava seem to take over in most cases and I wasn't really sure what to do with that element.
It was a great time and the perfect office toy to have in the background and mess with every once in a while.
The interaction systems are complex and enjoyable to watch unfold and there is a mastery of procedural systems at play here.
It's difficult to critique the work since it's at an early stage, what you have here is the basis of a concept that has a lot of possibilities. What's important is that the implementation is proven to work and you have a method to scale these systems if you wanted to.
I would take a step back and come up with solid theories on finding the fun of this system and focus on it with a razor sharp precision. There is a danger of working and working on this to no end since the systems are infinitely deep and complex.
It will take careful design considerations to push this prototype to something truly special.
Amazing work, it's an achievement that you were able to execute on this within a week.

This is quite a piece of work!
