Wall jumping was implemented in the easiest way I could as a time saver but even after getting used to it I knew it wasn't great .
Thanks for playing it and giving feedback!
All the levels were originally meant to be played in order but a relatively last minute change in idea meant that they were played out of order. If I had more time I definitely would've made some tutorial level that you're forced to play when starting but for now it's just a how to play screen and control screen.
I can assure you that all levels are possible!

The guessing weights was intentional so that you would have to try to mentally keep track of what you had whilst also doing a puzzle. Although I do think an easy mode where you could see your weight might have been worth adding

First off, not a game dev, and I'm Ruby's friend (still expect an objective review; no nepotism from me)!
This is a really fun game, and the only problem I see is that there is some soft-locking in a couple of the easy stages I played (I play on easy mode; don't @ me!); all simple bugfixes from what I can see. Also, I got this error message upon closing the game:
It doesn't affect overall gameplay, though. Must just be an untied end in the code...? I dunno, because I'm not a coder. Either way, really fun, and novel concept! It just needs a little more polish. The name of your indie dev studio is a huge misnomer; you don't make "bad" games, you make "fun" games. You really need to give yourself some more credit, especially when you consider that you crunched on this.

Thanks for checking the game out <3
A few points tho...
I designed the levels knowing that it could be possible to soft lock (in some it's an intentional design choice). That's why I included an option to restart the level.
Also the difficulty of the level determines how much weight you put on the other side of the scales. If you only do easy you won't be putting much weight on and you'll probably not be able to balance.
And the error is known by me. It's cuz I keep using the quit() function which seems to work when I'm coding but not in exe form... Oops..
