A bit unpolished, but the idea seems pretty interesting. Would be cool to see this developed on!

Such a creative use of the theme! It's fun to try keeping the sides balanced, but I wish there were more depth to the gameplay decisions. For example, maybe keeping each side's stats separate would lead to interesting choices, like whether to place a water tower on the side that it's needed on, or on the other side for better balance.

In any case, I really like this concept. Well done!

That is an incredible idea, thank you!

Great interpretation and a unique concept, well done! The buildings being physics objects really did add to the fun of the gameplay, and my demise came from something unexpectedly falling off and causing the other side of the scale to rocket upwards - very satisfying even as a game-ending move haha!

The design of the UI felt quite out-of-place, though I appreciate the time constraints of the game jam may be a factor in that, and I think some extra polish can bring it all together in a very satisfying manner. Overall though, I rather enjoyed playing this game!

Cool concept and good game.

Creative interpretation of the theme. I spent a good amount of time on my run before losing. A better tutorial/instructions on the description would help but overall I had a good time playing this.

Interesting idea for the theme!

The fact that you can actually make a huge building is quite fun but the balancing between food, fun etc is quite confusing

a bit confusing at the start, but overall i really liked the concept and with more polish this would turn out pretty amazing

That was pure fun, I really enjoyed it.

I made a house so large it took up a ton of space, eventually slid off but was still leaning on the scale and weighing it down. Quite amusing.

cool realised!

But the whole thing is far too loud and I played it on mute.

It's a challenge to place the components on the scale.

At the beginning I was briefly overwhelmed as to what exactly to do, perhaps a brief explanation would be helpful. (I think you have 2 civilisations per side and you have to balance them)

Thanks was good!
