Cute and relaxing! At one point I thought I had everything balanced correctly (the beam was perfectly level), but I didn't beat the level? Not sure if that's a skill issue on my part though :p
Thank you so much for playing and commenting! Regarding this issue, please make sure not to stack items on top of each other. If you don't stack items, the scale is likely not perfectly balanced, and there will be a slight tilt that you may not have noticed.
Anyway, thank you so much for the praise, playing, commenting, and feedback.
I enjoyed playing it very much! Anyone get hooked playing it pretty easily....great job!
Thank you so much for playing and commenting ❤️
Good game with fun concept on the theme.
Thank you for playing and commenting ❤️
This is a fun game, though I wish I didn't have to worry about placing items so carefully, like noted by others.
Otherwise it's spot on the theme and SFX are nice.
Very Nice game and submission. Only complaint I had was the same as others, not being able to stack items. But overall this is a great game and fits the theme very well. Looking forward to playing it more if you plan to add more levels :)
Thank you so much for playing and commenting ❤️
I will improve the game in future and Fix bugs and problems
It would help to weigh items stacked on top of each other, also a few times the level completed while I was still holding on to an item, that felt kind of wrong.
But overall this is a nice game! I really liked that you don’t explicitly tell us each item’s mass. Kind of leaves the player on his own for the bookkeeping, and there’s something rewarding about that.
Thank you so much for playing and your feedback!
Nice puzzle game! I wish items can be stacked up on scale so it's easier to place them
Thank you so much for playing and commenting.
I've encountered this issue more than once. I'll work to develop and improve the game in the future.
But in any case, thanks for playing and the feedback.
Well done. The game works well on mobile.
Sometimes, everything looked visually balanced, yet I couldn't finish the level—I was confused.
Either way, good job.
Thank you for Playing and commenting
Regarding the problem, yes this problem occurs if you place stacked elements.
Try placing the elements on the scale pan so that they are touching it and the elements will be calculated.
Nice game
It's a bit inconvenient that items have to be placed exactly on the scale, otherwise they don't count. And on last level, I often had the issue where the item wouldn't drop after I released the mouse button.
Other than that, it's very well done.
Thank you for playing and commenting ❤️

You have a License which is great, but you'll also need a README file (these are two main criteria for open source category). You can fill out the README with what's on your submission page: https://iqpro.itch.io/balance-of-elements.
Physics is good, sometimes the items get randomly thrown from the scales. Small bug that when I click on something it won't unclick (ie. the object is stuck to the mouse). Sound effects are funky and fun, add some music too for more immersion. Great concept, and most of the items are fairly easy to figure out what they are and what they'd weigh. Nice work and good job fitting the theme.
Thank you for playing and commenting.
Thank you for the reminder about the Readme file. I've posted it on GitHub and the game's homepage, and I've updated the license.
Please check the Readme file and the license, as they have been updated. Please let me know if there are any violations or changes I'll make, with all due respect and appreciation.
README and License is great. Love that you added emojis and things to the README. You can also spice up your README with screenshots and/or gifs of your game.
Balanced as balance could be :-) 100% nailed the theme.
Despite the description, it also works fine on mobile devices, kudos for that!
Cool game, great work!
Thank you so much for playing and commenting. I really appreciate your rating.
Thank you ❤️
You totally nailed the theme with this one, really cool game! I especially loved how the items fly around when they get hit!
Thank you for playing and commenting ❤️
Had a total blast playing this—the cute pixel art and the physics had me distracted for a moment playing around with knocking items in the air. xD The final level had me whipping up a text file to record each item's weight and then doing a bit of quick mental math...you had me majorly invested! Awesome job!
Thank you so much for playing and commenting! I'm so happy you commented, especially since you brought a text file and wrote down the weights for the elements. This means a lot to me. Thank you.
Nice game! I made it through to the end! I liked the way it ramped up until you had a lot of items. I think you did a good job of slowly introducing the mechanics. I was confused at first that the items' weight didn't count if they were on top of each other, but once I figured that out, it made sense. The physics were nice and all the items looked great. keep it up!
Thank you so much for playing and your encouraging comment it made me so happy!
A polished and calming game. I love the music and how it somehow while being simple still is fun! The only feedback I have would be to allow the player to stack things on top of each other for simplicity's sake. Overall, great game!
Thank you for playing and commenting ❤️
Regarding the stacked items, yes, I received this problem from more than one person. I will try to fix it and improve the game in the future, but in any case, thank you very much for playing and commenting ❤️.
Really good game and fun. Well executed. Maybe as it was already said need a little help on screen sometime.
Thank you for playing and commenting ❤️
Nice game! It’s simple but fun. After some exploration, I realized that items not placed on the scale plate don’t count, which is a pretty innovative concept. I think it would be helpful to display the goal on the screen during gameplay, since it currently only appears at the start of the level and could be missed.
Thank you so much for your compliments and praise of the game!
Regarding missing a level, I added a restart button at the beginning to avoid missing the required reading of the level.
Also, in the first four levels, you have to balance all the items in the level, and in the second four levels, you have to balance a specific weight...
That was a note...
Anyway, thank you so much for playing and commenting !.
Nice simple game, maybe will be fun and enjoy if add bgm in game.
Thank you very much for playing and commenting, there is background music in the game,
try to make the volume higher, it will appear.
Wow. Such a good implementation of the theme. I love the way this game improves Mathematics, The idea of different objects with different weight was just too cool, The dragging mechanics were not actually smooth as expected, But overall The game is great
Thank you very much for playing and the very nice comment.
You did take the theme literary :D
The concept is simple and efficient. I must say I've struggled a bit at first 'cause I did't get the items actually have to touch the balance to be taken into account (stacking them does not work!). It's a bit counter-intuitive because the physics is quite good (I find it funny to be able to throw items :D).
With a little more polish, it could be a very good relaxing game :)
Thanks for playing and commenting !.
I will work to improve the game in the future.
