Super unique controls. I enjoyed the drifting. Nice job. Soundtrack was stellar :)
Cool concept, had fun.
pretty clever idea, this was quite fun
Thanks for playing!
Loved the voice audio. Super interesting concept and great tutorialization. I wish there was a "next level" button instead of going back to menu and selecting the next level to keep me in the flow. The weights collide with one another, very tricky. I got stuck on "Bork" couldn't move the weights fast enough correctly.
Unlock all levels is a nice touch
A next level button (or an animation that auto pulls you into the next level) would be nice, I ran out of time to add it though
Tends to happen with a jam, but great job nonetheless!
That last level was hellishly difficult! Props to all those who can make it through it! This was a great example of unorthodox interaction patterns and I love it for that. Pure 'tude in the backgrounds as well!
Thanks again for playing it on stream!
I really enjoyed the unique style and the hand-drawn art—it gave the game a lot of charm. The gameplay was simple but fun, though I think the scale could have been more obvious. A few sound effects would also add a nice touch. Overall, it's a creative and enjoyable experience!
I wasn't sure how to make the scale more like a "scale" but I agree that it would be nice to be more obvious. Thanks for the feedback!
Very unique style, fun mechanic. Would be cool if the scale was also like a notebook on a pivot or something to make it more obvious it's a scale.
I tried to make a more traditional balance weight scale but the physics kept getting crazy so I had to scrap it; I was losing too much time to debugging it
This is very creative, I love the style.
Glad you enjoyed it! I had a lot of fun creating the art style and it was the first time I tried to make a cohesive style.
Fun game, I really like the hand drawn art style. The gameplay is simple but easy to understand, and the levels are not too difficult. Would have been nice with a few sound effects though.
Creative way of playing! Also super cute aesthetics, well done!
Thanks for playing!
Super novel concept. Love the art direction, especially the music!
Haha the "music" is just me making "wom wom" sounds, it's supposed to be the boring teacher talking. Glad you liked it though!
I could have sworn at some point you were doing the super mario theme. Great either way
There is a 1/6 chance that you'll get an audio file that does the mario theme for a short moment, so you aren't wrong! You got lucky I guess ;)
