How does your game fit the theme?
In our arcade-styled game, players will build with weighted blocks on top of a scale to score points. We chose to take the theme in a very literal sense.

Really simple and fun game! also very addicting
Thank you for playing! :)
Very cool approach to a basic tetris game and the theme ! The art match perfectly, it's a nice game :)
Thanks! We are definitely proud of the aesthetics of the game haha
I really liked this, especially given the short timeframe you made this in. Well done!
Thank you! Glad you liked it :)
This game is really cool and I really like the concept and its simplicity!
I'm glad you like the concept! Thank you :)
The game is addictive in its simplicity. Interesting idea and good implementation.
Thank you so much! We are big fans of simple games haha
Very nice style and efficiency- the simplicty was doing exactly what it needed to. Not the most exciting game but a cool concept nevertheless
Thank you for playing! We definitely want to look at adding more interesting gameplay features in the future :)
Dang that's pretty cool and well made!!
It's so well polished, and the idea is so simple but so cool
Low key could be one those fake game ads and I'd be very entertained
Lmfaoo this game being a fake game ad is so funny haha. Thank you so much for playing!
Very polished and surprisingly engaging for such a simple concept. Loved playing it!
I'm glad you found it engaging! We are big fans of simple arcade-style games. Thanks for playing!
My life was literally hanging on the balance nice game!
Thank you! haha
The art is super pretty! Execution is clean and very polished.
Thanks! We appreciate it a lot, thanks for playing :)
Love the art, gameplay is unique, definitely a good concept. I could see this being a good minigame inside of a WarioWare style game. Great work!
Thanks for playing, we appreciate it!
I love the simplistic art and smooth gameplay! Also, cool take on the theme! I would like to see a bit more of a goal to achieve to, but other than that, I have no complaints!
We are super happy with the art style too! We went for a simple arcade-style game but ran out of time to add more elements to the gameplay itself. Thanks for playing and commenting :)
Nice game. It could had been interesting, that some pieces grow/shrink colliding pieces, or have an affect on the other side of the scale.
Thank you! Also, I think that is a really interesting suggestion, having the blocks grow/shrink could add some extra challenge to the gameplay and force players to think more strategically about where they place certain shapes. If we continue this game after the jam, we will definitely consider adding it :)
The idea is really interesting, but it feels that the development did not take as much time as we would like
Thank you, personally we could only dedicate around 30 hours towards this game during the jam. We wanted to submit something though and Tare is what we were able to do. We might come back to it later to add more to the game after the jam :)
I really love this concept. I got sucked in and played this way longer than I realized! The physics of the blocks feel very natural and make the gameplay very engaging. My main feedback is that I think the “clear” mechanic needs a minimum weight limit (maybe 10.0 or more). I would love to come back and play this more if you ever decide to update it!
Thank you so much for playing! I really like the idea of having a minimum weight limit in order to balance the scale; we wanted to add more features to the actual gameplay but ran out of time. We will definitely consider coming back and updating the game with more gameplay mechanics haha.
