Really satisfying to play! 10/10 would not wanna live there

It's really satisfying.

And the sound effect is great.

Cool work for a single person. It lacks help perhaps, to get the idea that similar-color blocks give bonuses. But, that also could be a feature:)

Personal highscore is 3350

Loved the crunchy sounds and the effects! Adding the different colors for the blocks was a great visual aid. It's very satisfying to play!

Super fun! There's little bits of polish here that go so far. The hesitation before the drop to give a sense of weight, the way the combo sound goes up in pitch as your combo improves, the little wiggle in the scales before they find their new resting point. The work did not go unnoticed and it really gave the game that omph that makes it so fun to play

Good, well thought out game! It wasn't super challenging, but the concept was cool and the sounds were nice and satisfying~!

Wow! This game is very polished! It is enjoyable, the sound and visual effects are tidy and overall the game presents an interesting challenge. Great job.

this feels so satisfying to play, the sounds, the way everything looks, the 'weight' of the buildings... everything just feels right (◍•ᴗ•◍)

This is fantastic. I really loved playing this. Would love to see what additional levels would be like. Keep up the great work!

Submitted(+1)

I like this idea and your present, the scals's shaking makes it feel heavier. nice job :D!

Submitted(+1)

Really cool ! I got to 3500 eventually

Developer

Awesome, congrats :)

Got a score of 1930 on my first attempt. It's a great idea for the theme, really requires some planning ahead!

Developer

That is not too bad, good job! :)

I am pro at this game😎. it's fun enough, but it's monotonous, although maybe I'm missing something. Anyway, it's a great game

Submitted(+1)

Just realized now that I should have done combinations of the same colors, lol

Developer

Not bad, but if you focus on combining colors, you can get a lot higher ;) good luck!

The juice is really bringing this game alive

Interesting idea and details like screen shaking

but I don't quite understand how to read the weight and balance.

How do I understand the weight order and put in a column of the same color has no effect?

Developer

As long as the block is on top and not placed, it has a number on it (1-8). It is always the same number for the same color. The higher the number, the heavier the block will be on the scales. So if you want to balance the scales, you probably should use the heavier blocks. For the highscore, only the color combinations count - so you should always try to but same colored blocks on top of each other. :)

Very polished & nicely put together! You've got a really good base to continue working on it! Great job! 

Submitted(+1)

This has a really great style, its very polished, seems like it would make a good mobile game! Honestly I think it was too easy, I think it would be cool if it had some more mechanics like maybe you have to keep track of the structural integrity of the buildings or something to make it more challenging yknow. Its good though great work!
