I really enjoyed this game, it was an interesting challenge that got my brain working. You can check it out as part of my video:
super cute and super fun! i liked the variety of levels and difficulty, esp. with the various weight modifiers. the graphics and music gave a very cozy atmosphere and worked well together. i enjoyed the visual indicators when one side was heavier than the other (tipping as though on a scale + the red weight indicator at the bottom). on the harder levels i did wish for a refresh level button after making a few too many silly guesses. overall a really polished game!!
Good idea well executed. Good game.
Very cool game — lots of interesting mechanics! I played it to the end.
A few suggestions for the future:
Add a visible menu button.
Save the player's progress.
When an item’s weight is modified, show its original weight in parentheses or on hover. By the end, with several mechanics affecting weight, it gets hard to keep track.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the game. If we decide to work on it more, we will implement your suggestions.
For the open source category, you'll need to have a README file and License file.
Graphics are really cool, the music is fitting and relaxing. Really cool concept. I like that you didn't just use simplistic items and weight, but thought about other things like multiply boxes, reduce weight etc. The way you calculated scores is creative too: number of moves etc. Nice job. I could play this game for hours.
Thank you for letting us know about the README and License file requirements. We have added these to our repo now.
We are very glad you enjoyed the game!
Nice work. I can see those added now. Love the README with the screenshot and use of emojis.
Thanks for making a fun game.
5/5 from me! Super cool and polished game, deserved to be developed into a bigger title
This was so much fun! I love how there are little "helper tools" along the way that impact how you can balance things, but it fits into the game concept of fantasy artifacts/items. Really innovative! :)
Wow! Excellent polish and detail, and a clever puzzle.
I got befuddled sometimes when too many modifiers were in play and wound up playing it guess-and-check a few times. The simpler ones, I figured out algebraically, and that was much more satisfying.
This is a 5-star entry for sure, well done!
It's a really fun idea! I enjoyed the puzzles, I had fun playing it, my only complain is that the background is too dark, and it's hard to see the numbers
Really neat little puzzler! Some levels had me stumpe for a bit, but in the end I managed to clear it in 40 moves total (i did retry some levels after figuring them out to get a better score :P ). Finding the right solutions felt super satisfying (ah, but if i move this there i can do it in 2 moves!), and the graphics and sound gave the whole game a polished feel. One little tweak i would do is to show the weight of an object when hovering over, because at times it felt a bit tedious to work out the weight of objects by calculating all the effects that where applied to them, but overall its a super cool entry!
It's simple but well polished game! Well done :D
Very cute game, it gets more and more complexe and I love it !great job
Very nice game. I liked the idea of the modifiers that change the weights. Good job!
Wooow this is so good!!
The level design is incredibly good and so are the audio and graphics.
Awesome job on making this!
