This was fun, and I really enjoyed the art style, especially the idea to animate each item. The music was a little too in your face by the end of it. Also ran into plenty of bugs re: surpassing the weight but still losing the level, but such is the fate of a game jam game! Nice work overall.

Thank you so much for playing and for leaving such detailed feedback! I’m really glad you enjoyed the art style and the animated items—that was something our team had a lot of fun creating. I totally hear you on the music variety, and we’ll definitely take that into consideration as we expand our skillset.
As for the weight mechanic, your screenshot actually highlights something intentional: the goal is to get the scale's weight to match the target exactly, rather than getting the highest-possible value. I can see how that might not be entirely clear, so I appreciate you pointing it out.
And yes, game jams often come with their fair share of bugs! My favorite is when you select a level with many objects (like Level 3) and restart before it’s fully loaded—you end up with items that don’t belong! Definitely something we’ll look into post-jam.
Thanks again for the feedback, and I’ll be sure to check out your game as well!
