Interesting mechanic where you have to multi task, but very challenging!
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD46 → Joe, the balance

@rngames thanks! I hadn't enough time to balance this game. Paradox, game with "balance" in title is not balanced. :smiley:
Oh boy, I think Joe needs to cut back on his drinking. A clever idea, and nice pixel art.
I think it needs a little more polish though, and balance like you say. I couldn't get through the second level, because it's really hard to get him to balance when he's holding 7 bricks.
Nice work!
Liked the animations. Really neat idea for keep it balanced.
I liked the game mechanic, nice graphics! and it gets harder and harder because you have to focus on multiple things at once, it's fun!
Ooh it's a tricky one, I like it though!
Kudos on the art. It would take me waaaaaaay more than 48 hours to create anything that looks like this. Overall, you've got a neat concept here. My only real beef is that the balance control seems real touchy, not sure if that's intentional or not. At times, it seems like I barely tap an arrow key and the balance meter moves from the middle to an extreme where Joe falls over. Other than that, well done!
Wow, really cool game, I really like the mechanics and the art is really good!
I like the animations, and this pixel art style. Great job!
Rather challenging but in the end a very good game with a really interesting mechanic.
Really fun game loop. I played it around 20 times. The quick death-restart sequence makes it addictive in a good way. I didn't hear any audio? That would've boosted my playtime. 48 hours isn't enough! :)
Unique and challenging game. Thumbs up!
Its great, it just needs to be easier
I really like the art and i thought the game was really a fun kind of challenging! If you keep on working on it id like to see the balance bar be bigger so its a bit clearer to see, and I think it would be cool to see the builders build the rest of the stage as you deliver bricks. Great job!
eventhough it seems simple, it's quite entertaining!
Gets difficult rather quickly - but at least I got some "good work Joe"s. Idea was cool, well executed, nice pixel art good levels. Balance bar is very sensitive, when carrying many bricks. Awsome!
Thanks a lot, guys! :thumbsup:
Obviously, delivering bricks is a very challenging job. It is fun to keep balance while control direction. The art and color style is great.

Fun mechanic, but oh my God difficult! :smile: I couldn't beat the second level after playing for quite a bit, had fun trying though! Good entry!
Haha! Love it
now this is what I called fun! the game mechanics of this game is pretty interesting and solid...
Pretty fun and challenging game. It took many attempts but I managed to finally beat the second level, even though it was hard it was fair and most importantal, balanced! The artstyle fits with the overal feel of the game and the little animations and details made it feel polished, so well done!
Thanks for playing, guys!
Great concept and well executed, but a bit too difficult for me!
