Amazing idea around the theme unstable. Gives a good representation of the mass vs distance on a balance.

Amazing idea around the theme unstable. Gives a good representation of the mass vs distance on a balance.
Incredibly relaxing game, the music contributes a lot to that feeling and overall felt very good to play.
Music is so comfortable.Very good combination, I like this game.
blockgame.jpg i set out to get over a million and it was actually pretty easy to do. nice little game, i think the blocks fell a bit too slow, though i was eating while playing your game so that was fine. lmao!!
This is an incredibly simple and polished idea that clearly has a lot of thought put into it. My only concern is how the scoring system works-- would it be possible to exploit the mechanic by scoring close to perfect and deliberately _not_ using the speed-up function? Random thoughts aside, I have nothing to complain about except that I wish the game could continue for longer if you reached the top with most of your blocks covered as a sort of endless mode. I would have liked to see the game expand so that you had to account for higher numbers like 11-15 with the same scale of balance as before and try to accommodate this.

I found your game out of curiosity since my own game was registered as balancing-act-2 on LD-- I'm glad I stumbled on this as it's quite polished.
The most unique balance game on the jam. For me visual looking was a little boring and so as music. But i think it's subjectively. Nice entry and good job!
Nice game, visuals and music. You seem to have had too much fun on piano, it hammers so much a dramatic aspect even if it's not the the case.
Unfortunately, even if adding blocs takes time, I didn't feel really thrilled about balance and points. Maybe it would have been better to have more things at stake?
Also, you are super fast.
Excellent simple idea turned to a very nice game! Simple but effective visuals and equally good sound. Great job!
