A downloadable game for Windows

Balanced

is a small game I created as a result of being creatively drained for new, executable ideas. This was my breakout from that.

Take control of a platform that will increasingly fill with shapes of various kinds.

As shapes of the same type combine, they'll get bigger and bigger. Be careful, the weight adds up quickly!


Milestones

As your largest shape gets bigger, upgrades will be available after reaching certain milestones


There are always 3 options to choose from. However, time is ticking, so try not to dawdle too long on them!

Chill Jazz

Attribution-free jazz music will be constantly blasting throughout your session. It consists of 5 pieces in this order:

  1. Ersatz Bossa - John Deley and the 41 Players
  2. Fortaleza - Topher Mohr and Alex Elena
  3. Book Bag - E's Jammy Jams
  4. A Night Alone - TrackTribe
  5. Sunday Stroll - Huma-Huma

These songs were found on Youtube's audio library which is all available for free.


Development Time

This game started its first iteration on a Sunday, which I developed until Tuesday when I decided I didn't like it scrapped everything.

I remade everything in the second iteration by the end of Tuesday, which I developed until Friday. The entire project has then taken about 15 hours over the course of 6 days.
