Balancing the Equation

Balancing the Equation

This game was made based the theme ‘Extinction’ during Global Game Jam 2011.

1st – 3rd Level





I would say that this is an abstract kind of game that you are supposed to figure out yourself and it is quite simple game mechanics. Basically, you are supposed to be something that maintains the balance of the whole game. You would be controlling a black circle that shrinks over time. If you hover near the other black circles, they will enlarge. If you don’t they will shrink and eventually be gone and you would lose the game. Also, if you enlarge the ball till too big that it takes up all the space on your screen, you would also lose due to the black overcoming the white spaces. So the basic idea is to maintain everything in harmony and wait for the time to finish then you will be able to the next stage.

3rd – 6th Level






A new element the grey circle is introduced in these three levels. The size of the grey circle is dependent of the size of the black circle. The bigger the black, the smaller the grey circle will become and vice versa. At the 6th Level of the game which is also the last level, it can’t be completed since that was the intention of the game. It was suppose to bring across the theme ‘Extinction’ and it is show by, no matter how hard you try, your balance will still be offset one day. Game is still going better programmed and more level is going to be added in. Polish to art might be or might not be depending if we can find the good representation of the circles.
