Play Balance Online
Drop weights on a wobbly scale without tipping it—what starts easy turns into a white-knuckle fight against physics where every gram counts.
Balance was part of the MS-DOS Classic Games collection, a compilation that brought together various titles from the platform's early years. The game was developed by an independent creator, though specific details about the studio or publisher are not widely documented. It fits into that era of experimental, physics-based puzzles that relied on simple mechanics and clean visuals to challenge the player's patience and precision.
You control a small hand that picks up and places weights of different sizes onto a free-hanging scale. The goal is to balance the scale perfectly without letting either side dip too low and trigger a failure. Each stage introduces new obstacles; weights might be hidden, platforms might sway, or new types of counterweights could behave in unexpected ways. The difficulty ramps up steadily, demanding careful planning and a light touch. It feels like a tense negotiation with gravity, where one misplaced block can undo minutes of progress.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
