Nice idea! I liked your take on this idea, it was a nice enoyable small experience!

Developer

Thanks!

Very nice! We had the same concept, but we made it into a card game instead of a physics one. Very enjoyable to place things on the scale and trying to find the balance before they all just fall down, eventually. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for the kind words! I'll check out your game now it sounds interesting.

Nice concept and a fun game. Could make it a little bit more difficult by increasing scale instability.

I had fun trying to balance the individual things before realizing there was a weight limit difference. A bonus stat at the end indicating weight difference could add replayability so players would try to get a net zero difference before reaching the goal.

Developer

Yeah that's a good idea, would be easy to add into the level end screen. Glad you liked it.

Cute vibe! I would really have liked some way of knowing what objects weighed other than having to keep track of the impact they had on the overall weight. 

Developer

Thanks! I had that idea too but thought that might make the player spend too long adding weights in their head instead of just feeling where to put the objects.

I really enjoyed this one. Good art, music, a fun gameplay loop, and a decent game idea. I could honestly see this as a game I would download on something portable to just play on the go.

Developer

Thanks heaps! Since it's just buttons, it does technically work on touch screen.
