Fun little game, and a good interpretation of the theme. It would have been nice to have a color or size indicator to help guess food weights a little faster! I enjoyed trying to improve my score. Good job!

I do always like doing calculation during playing games, and this interpretation of SCALE is really funny!! It combines calculation and agility together, also embodies balance! GREAT GAME!

Wow, this was hard but cool. Really liked the idea! I played more than I thought I would, but once you get the hang of it it's addictive. The graphics are pretty too! Cool take overall

Cute little game, it would be a lot better if intensity was slowly building up. 
I did not have any sound so if it is a bug reply.

Fun and fast.  Good work!

I got 9404 after a few tries, not sure if that's good or just terrible lol! Pretty fun concept having 3 things to balance, definitely keeps you on your toes as things start to accelerate! I wonder if it might be more fun by assigning hotkeys 1-2-3 to each of the sides rather than use the arrow keys, I had a tendency to overload the middle section just trying to go back and forth between the first and the last. Great concept, nice job!

Pretty cool concept, I must say. Balancing those food items to avoid disaster is surprisingly tricky, and I like the challenge. It's a refreshing twist on the usual game mechanics. Nice job on keeping it simple yet engaging, I ended up learning the rough weight of some of the foods.

Surprisingly hard. I think this can become a fun hyper-casual game.

I would focus on making it easier and faster to see what's going on:

  • Make it more intuitive to judge how heavy an object is (relative to other objects)
  • Maybe show (relative) heaviness of the boxes in another way beyond text

Fun little game

The concept was not as straightforward as I expected from the description. Nice theme interpretation and a decent challenge! It could be nice to have a way of knowing how heavy an object might be before catching it so you can better plan where to place it

Fun gameplay, it gets stressful trying to manage all the weights.
