I love the uniqueness in levels, it makes every challenge very interesting. I would love there to a few seconds "balance period" before completing the levels; sometimes I accidently complete the level, and whilst in the next level screen, my scales were clearly not balanced. Really fun game, great work!

Developer

thank you, that's great feedback! I would have loved to also add an animation or something that makes the balancing moment more satisfying. will have to save some time for the next jam. thanks again for playing!

Composer from "Crescendo" here! I really enjoyed this! I loved the music and really loved the artwork of the game. I actually played through the game twice because I realized that each item had a little note attached to them and I wanted to see what they all said lol. The level with all the words scared me haha because it seemed impossible at first, but I solved it with trial and error (twice). 

Developer(+2)

oh i'm so glad you went and read the descriptions! :D in the text level I tried to convey that wordier descriptions were heavier. And again, amazing work on Crescendo!!

Ohhhh that makes sense! Clever idea and thank you!

pretty unique, reminds me of those old newgrounds fan games that used be filled with references to other games and media that were popular at the time.  love the art; I reckon it must've taken up a great deal of the time put into this game.  my only criticisms are that the items bouncing off and not stacking properly can be a bit frustrating, and that the paper level was quite clever but a lot of the others seemed kinda random.  still, an enjoyable experience.

D*nald trump and B*rack Obama???

Very nice game, very responsive controls.

... I had to think about what you were referencing LOL, the likeness is unintentional! (Assuming it's the "Karen" and "CEO" from the 4th level hahaha) Thanks for playing!

I mean T*ump could also be the orange. And Obama's kinda tall so banana I suppose?

The game is short but beautiful. I loved the fact that art style change every time

VERY COOL AND ENJOYABLE, JAPAN IS STILL DEAD THO

Looks cool and maybe I missed a point but I was always just randojmly changing items until it worked.

Would be awesome with some kind of puzzle (Or I missed it 😅)

Developer(+1)

I wanted to make item descriptions the hint as to what kind of scale system each level used (ex: angel vs evil CEO) but I realized later that the right-click control wasn't as obvious. Learnings for next time! Thanks for playing!!

perfectly balanced. as all things should be 

⚖️⚖️⚖️

Very simple and nice game. Really loved the artstyle for different types of scales. One suggestion would be to have some sort of timer for difficulty (but I think you were going for a chill vibe so my suggestion may be invalid)

Developer(+1)

thank you! I thought about a timer for encouraging  a speed-run but you're right - after the bossa nova music choice, I didn't have it in me! haha

Very fun concept I haven't seen in another Jam game yet! Love all the little blurbs and jokes, very funny!

Submitted(+1)

The style and concept of this game are both amazing, and most of the puzzles felt very rewarding and logical to solve. However, some of them were a little bit vague and felt more random, great game though!

Developer(+1)

thank you!

cool and simple game! great for a first! Thanks!

I like the idea of this game. I hope there is better way to understand what the weight or each thing (like in the second world where hotter thing is heavier).

Developer

thank you! I tried to use descriptions from right-click as a hint to figure out the rules and relative weights in other levels, but I realize that this mechanic could have been clearer. learnings for next time! thanks for playing :D

Submitted

I love the concept of balancing different things in my life. Its very meaningful! Its also very cool to see different art style in different scale. Its such a good game!

Developer

thank you so much!!
