How does your game fit the theme?
My game fits the theme in that the game was built off of a scale. The game is about balancing a bus on top of a mountain as one would with a scale.

Awesome game! I absolutely love the concept and while the first two levels had me skeptical as to the the idea’s value, the latter two had me thinking! Might even go back and see if I can three-star level 4…
Great job! Makes me thankful I grew up in an era where school busses ending up on the tops of mountains is no longer commonplace.
On another note: NOOOOO!!! I NEED TO SAVE THOSE KIDS IN LEVEL 5!!! YOU MONSTERRRR!!! AAAAUUUGGGHHH!!!
Haha, thank you so much for the feedback.
Tried a couple times but could not get the game to advance levels. The concept is really fun for the scale idea of the jam.
Could you give some details as to your problem with the game not advancing in levels? Did you make sure that the bus was balanced before you moved a person to the door?
Fun and challenging puzzles. Visuals need more polish and improvements but gameplay is realyl neat. Congrats!
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback.
Very nice idea and challengine puzzles! I would improve the visibility of the selected character. The area on which you can click to select it is small, so I ended up deselecting the character sometimes. It would be maybe nice with "Tab" or other key to switch between characters? Gameplay might be way faster then ;)
I agree with the visibility. The area to click on the people should be even a square around the character, which should be easy to click if you are in full screen. The tab suggestion is interesting, though I don't know how well it would work in the later levels with more than 2 people. I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
Switching with a key/button should work with N characters :D But anyway - this is a really great idea, if polished I believe it would be interesting for players as a quick casual webgame or mobile game ;)
Nice Puzzle and unique Idea of Balancing a bus on a cliff. Actually suprisingly challenging puzzles! Good job!
Thank you!
