I must be missing something because I am just not getting this game, not even after watching the YouTube or reading the (very sparse) instructions. I understand that the idea is to keep the scale balanced, but how? The most success I had was just clicking on anything that spawns as fast as I can but reading the other reviews it does not seem that that is the idea behind the game...


It looks great and plays smooth, even though I don't know how to play correctly ;P

Hey, so here’s a breakdown of the game:

  1. There is a slider with a positive (+) on the left, a negative (-) on the right, and a pointer in the middle.
  2. On the board, you’ll see plus (+) and minus (-) symbols popping up randomly.
  3. Clicking the plus (+) symbol makes the board bigger, and the slider moves towards the positive side. Clicking the minus (-) symbol does the opposite.
  4. Your aim is to keep the pointer away from the positive and negative sides; hitting either side means you lose.
  5. Keep an eye on the timer – if it hits zero, game over.

Let me know if that clears things up, and I’d love to hear what you think after giving the game another go. Thanks!

Yes this clears up a lot. The point of the slider at the top was totally unclear for me and what made it even more unclear is the fact that you can just slide the slider yourself as a player. I thought this was something I was meant to be doing.

After understanding the game I can tell you it is totally not my type of game, but that is not your fault of course ;P
It's very frantic but very simple, basically you just want to keep alternating between + and minus when possible, that way you only lose if a long string of only + or minus comes up. Not sure if this even is possible or that you get more + when you are small and vice versa which could cause you to go on forever.

Some thoughts on polishing/improving:
Switch the plus and minus on the slider, it's more logical to go from small to large
Have the whole cell register a click instead of only the button, it was frustrating to click just besides a button and then seeing it disappear
Have fullscreen working. Right now for me full screen is not working in FireFox. This also compounds my problem with clicking besides the buttons as the screen you are playing on is very small.

Thanks for clearing up your game to me !

Best I could do:

Oops, that’s DEFINITELY a BUG, I repeat, a BUG and not a feature lol.

Oh don’t worry about that., it’s not my type of game too. Not sure myself how this game came to be lol 😅

  • Yeah, true. I need to reverse that slider.
  • Hmmm, I didn’t face this clicking issue. Guess I’ll have to do some more playtesting.
  • That’s actually really weird! Did you try Edge/Chrome? I tried multiple window scales and the UI was scaling well for me. Let me know if it’s still bugged.

No problem!! Thanks for replaying my game and coming back with a great list of improvements. Highly appreciated :D

TIP: Try the Android build to 2x that number :P
