Very entertaining :D I liked the camels comparison
This game was really silly and it was a lot of fun. Didn't expect to learn things in this game but it was surprisingly fun especially when the weight of things being compared got crazy. Too bad I'm American and my conversion skills suck when you listed the specific weight facts lol
Although I disagree with the balloon cat, funny "real ending" thanks for the laugh. :)
If you'd put a cat and a cat with a helium balloon on a scale, the scale would tip in the direction of the cat without a helium balloon. You're right in that there is no such thing as negative mass, but I'd assume we're talking about weight and not mass in this game. I hope I don't come off as condescending, but I like information like this and thought you'd like it as well considering you made this game :D
You are not condescending. I made this question controversial on purpose. On the Wikipedia page on Weight you can see 2 definitions:
Gravitational definition:
The force acting on the object due to acceleration of gravity. This force is given by the formula W = mg where W is the force, m is the mass and g is the gravitational acceleration. The mass of the cat with the helium is greater and there for, that group of objects has more weight.
Operational definition:
The force measured by the operation of weighing the object. If we assume the game doesn't take place in a vacuum, the helium balloon would exert an upwards force on the cat and thus the scale would measure less weight.
Oh my goodness.
This sure is a game :D
Pretty simple, but it fits the theme and it was funny. I should've trusted my gut about the cat.
4/6… the euro coin one really got me
clever interpretation of the theme, simple game, definitely funny
could have a varied set of questions or jumble some numbers that would tip the scales either way (like the camels vs space station could vary the number of camels everytime and sometimes go one way or another)
short, and I had a good time playing it
I thought about that. Maybe I can add this kind of thing afterwards.
the special ending made me laugh, good animation too
only got 5/6 :(
do not play mr scales at 3 am
