Completed it. I cheesed my way through the last level (Don't know if I was supposed to do it that way).
It was pretty fun but short. Puzzles were a bit easy though.
Won one levels from the red ball bouncing into my scale.
Nice job! I like the depth of the game coming with ongoing progress, it really serves the gameplay well! Also, your credits are hilarious :D Great work!
Very cool! I like your idea of using object to win at balancing a scale in your favor. I liked that you included a couple different styles of puzzles in the game and I think that there is lots of potential to add more in the future!
Hello,
I think this game was very fun. Kind of nostalgic to when I would play "Cool math games" at school.
The game was easy to understand and play. Nice work to make 10 well done levels! It was entertaining throughout. Also nice that it was playable in the browser. Only note I have is that the exit button in game didnt seem to work for me.
Great work, thank you!

Thanks for your feedback! I’m glad you liked it. If you tried the exit button in the browser, sorry it didn’t work but that is only in there for the windows and Mac builds and doesn’t actually function properly in webgl (not sure why).
Perfect theme interpretation. I completed the game, and I was surprised by how well you managed to make this game mechanic work!
In the dominoes level, I was able to manipulate the dominoes before dropping the weight, by playing with the sliders. That level also took me a fair few tries while all the other levels were quite easy.
Thanks for your great feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Fun game! I appreciate that the physics seemed to work the same way each time, which meant I could fine tune everything. Nicely done!
Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you had fun playing it.
a simple fun game. I got to level 7. I suggest making the text boxes disappear on them own instead of having players to click the green triangle. I think a different bgm would be better too.
Yeah I understand what you mean with the text boxes. With more time, I probably could have fine tuned them to work a little better. Thanks for your feedback!
really interesting puzzle , nice job :D
Thank you!
this is a really fun and interesting puzzle game with a great concept! i had a great time playing
I'm glad you enjoyed playing this game!
Very unique concept. I really enjoyed playing and would love to see an updated version in the future. Great job :)
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Game was unpolished but the idea is solid for dynamic puzzle games.
In jam version going first to the scale wins the game disregard of the size and scale. Something to lock scale until a time period would be nice. Maybe also another slider for this?
Changing also the environment was a very nice touch.
This game will need a very very good level designer to be effective. Most of the levels were to easy to figure out or would not even need a change in sliders.
This is a game play that can be scaled up for sure.
You have a lot of good ideas that would make this better. I agree and maybe will implement them later on! Thanks for your feedback.
Fun game that scores very well on the theme.
In level 6 I think I found a bug, I just wanted to get my ball down as quick as possible to win the level before the heavier ball even got there so I started out with a ball of minimum weight (5 in this case).
And it seems that small balls in that level do not hit the collider, but just go straight down, beating the level in speedrun times ;P
Great job, I had a lot of fun with it :)
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for pointing that out about level 6. I will look into it, it may be something with the physics.
I had a lot of fun playing this, great job! I found myself a bit frustrated with how little I could change the position with the slider, but I understand that's part of the challenge lol.
Thanks for your feedback! I agree the position slider is pretty restrictive because I may have not found the right balance with the level design and integrating that into the puzzle.
great submission - lots of fun to play!
Neat submission.
I think the core concept is good, it is quite satisfying seeing the balls roll into place when you successfully complete a puzzle.
Definitely hits the Game Jam Theme requirement!
For improvements, I think theres a glitch on the final level where the Red ball passes through the revolving object. I also found with the perspective it was a bit hard to tell whether my ball would fall and hit something or just miss it. Maybe add the option to rotate the camera angle a bit.
Overall, I had fun with your submission. Good job!
Fun little puzzle game, great for some casual play. The physics work well and the tutorial does a great job at explaining how to play. My only nitpick is I wish the obstacles that scaled with the ball were a different color from the ones that didn't, but the difference becomes pretty obvious when you play anyway so it's no big deal. Also, I love that little intro thing with the title. Great job!
Thanks for your feedback! That is a good point about the obstacles.
Nice challenging puzzle!
Love this one. Super chill little physics puzzle game. I love when a developer trusts to let the physics speak for themselves. My favorite solve was I once made on of the domino objects so large so fast it threw itself off the ledge and won the match for me. I really love the concept of this and I think it would make an amazing chill mobile game. the sound is nice and the graphics while simple do service to the concept.
Thanks so much for your great feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed playing!
