The juice is really bringing this game alive

Interesting idea and details like screen shaking

but I don't quite understand how to read the weight and balance.

How do I understand the weight order and put in a column of the same color has no effect?

Developer

As long as the block is on top and not placed, it has a number on it (1-8). It is always the same number for the same color. The higher the number, the heavier the block will be on the scales. So if you want to balance the scales, you probably should use the heavier blocks. For the highscore, only the color combinations count - so you should always try to but same colored blocks on top of each other. :)

Very polished & nicely put together! You've got a really good base to continue working on it! Great job!

This has a really great style, its very polished, seems like it would make a good mobile game! Honestly I think it was too easy, I think it would be cool if it had some more mechanics like maybe you have to keep track of the structural integrity of the buildings or something to make it more challenging yknow. Its good though great work!
