How does your game fit the theme?
Scale is interpreted first as an instrument for measuring weight, as the objective of the game is to adjust the total weight placed on a tile grid. Scale is also interpreted as proportion, as weights placed on the tile grid are weighted, meaning they are multiplied by some factor based on their row and column.

Fun concept, challenging too! Only thing is that I think there should be a level select. Not great to lock players out of content for game jam if it can be helped.

The art is very simple and clear! The visuals and sound come together really nicely, they fit the game a lot. The puzzles are interesting, especially the last one. Very polished game, felt super nice to play. Great job! :D

I rally liked this puzzle game, I even pulled out my calculator to solve the last puzzle! Only gripe is that you can’t reset the board without by hand, one at a time, clicking each box until it’s gone. other than that, it’s an amazing game.

Very clever puzzle game! I'm not smart enough to make it through all 5 levels, but the design was clean. It would be helpful to include the controls in addition to the rules on the info page you made, took me a minute to figure out how to swap colors. Well done!

I really enjoyed the stylish and thoughtful design of this puzzle game. The concept is simple yet engaging, and I found myself pleasantly challenged, especially on the last level. The art style and sound choices added a lot to the atmosphere, making it a cozy experience overall. I do agree that some of the text could be clearer, as it felt a bit cramped at times, and maybe adding a score bonus for solving puzzles with fewer moves could add an extra layer of challenge for those who want it. However, the balance between difficulty and relaxation was well done. Great work, and thanks for making this game!

Good game! I thought for a long time at the last level, although I’m good at math. Stylish, interesting, and also a puzzle. Well done!

Simple and beautiful. My only nitpick is that it's pretty easy to just solve the puzzles by brute force. Perhaps a score bonus for solving the puzzles in fewer moves would make the game more engaging, but I suppose that could also detract from the "cozy" feel for some people. All in all, nice work!

Nice art style, good choice of sounds. The text needs cleaning up, felt quite cramped and unclear at times. Love the game mechanic though, and having multiple patterns to match, great idea to have someone optionally make it more difficult for themselves!
