Bars and Balance

I think this is a great little physics puzzler that justifies its modest price tag. Pros: - Well implemented balance/moment physics based puzzles. - Deterministic solutions. - Visually simple but with an appealing aesthetic. - 50 puzzles. Cons: - Only took me just over an hour to complete. - Too many achievements, if you can 100% percent a game with 50 achievements in an hour, it somewhat cheapens the sense of accomplishment from achievements. - Some will find most of the puzzles to be a little on the easy side.

Bars and Balance is a physics puzzle game. The music creates a soothing ambience and the graphics/UI are quite nice, but I'm not a fan of the whole 'feel' of the game. Everything feels a little slow or sluggish, although the game works fine either way. There are 50 puzzles where you have to find the correct pieces to remove in order to keep balance, usually needing multiple tries per level and taking note of where your 'construction' fails so you can try and counterbalance another way next time. Really, it was a rather fun experience as far as puzzle games go. I did get two levels where the whole thing went crashing down but not quick enough for the 'Congratulations' prompt to appear, meaning they both counted as if I finished them legitimately. That's weird, but excusable I guess as it only happened in 4% of the levels. The game has no replayability and is only half an hour long, so keep that in mind while purchasing. Overall, a sweet and short physics game with 50 levels, testing your logic in balancing out structures by removing the right blocks.

这个是不错了，一款小游戏值得玩。 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈

100% Balance Things

Pretty simple yet fun puzzle game! The idea is that you have balanced block structures where you must remove a set amount of pieces and still end up with a balanced structure. If I had to point out the negative tho, it's got quite a few problems. First off it'd be nice if you could run the gravity simulation at any time, in order to see what just taking 1-2 pieces does, to see what to do next. Also when you "reset" a level, the camera also resets to the default angle, which can be disorientating for the next attemp. As a last note, although the game has some interesting increasing difficulty, the last level is really anticlimactic. But despite these few issues, the game is still quite interesting and fun, the difficulty builds up very slowly but the levels from 42 to 49 had me stuck a little bit. Another really fun part of the game is going like "no way that's gonna hold" but ending up with an actually balanced structure. Overall I'd say you should get it on sale, unless some small QoL improvements are made

This game has 50 levels and lasted me an hour. Most levels were blindingly obvious, and those that weren't, could be solved by simple process of elimination, at most with a few tweaks here and there. There is very little puzzle-solving ingenuity required, and I suspect that the puzzles were harder to set than to solve. The last few levels were pretty troll, with the last level being "just remove everything yayyy". The pastel colours were soothing and the music was pretty chill. The price is okay-ish for the amount of content. That's about it. Get it if you want a short, simple, chill game to kill an hour.

Pretty fun game, though I would've liked to see far more levels. Once you get the hang of what's going on, it's fairly easy to see the patterns. I don't know how I ended up with this game, but I do think it's worth a buck or two. If you like physics puzzles, give it a shot!
