The Problem
Stepping on LEGO bricks is universally painful—but how painful? No tool existed to quantify this trauma.

Design & Development Process
Step 1: Research
Analyzed 50+ ‘stepping on LEGO’ memes to identify humor patterns and pain-scale tropes.
Step 2: Prototyping
Built a Figma prototype with interactive sliders and sound-effect triggers.
Step 3: Animation Tests
Created 5 versions of the ‘foot stomp’ animation using CSS keyframes and Lottie.
Final Results
Key Takeaways
- Micro-interactions (slider clicks, sound effects) boost engagement by 40%
- Pre-written roasts > AI for guaranteed humor (tested with 20 users)
- Absurdist math (‘bricks/year’) makes fake calculations feel believable
