The Balancing of Hill House by yupasama
Your late aunt Sally has bequeathed you her house which sits precariously atop a hill. Over the years, your aunt has achieved a very delicate equilibrium within the house with the placement of furniture, which she hoarded. Now that it's time for you to move in, it's time to move all of her old fusty things out.
Push items to the front door for movers to come pick up. They will carry the items away as fast as they can. The more items the estate sale company picks up, the more money you make. They're on a strict schedule so move quickly, but be careful not to let one side of the house get too heavy!
Controls: Up, Down, Left, Right Arrows for movement.

In short, this is a nice little game you have that has a lot of potential! Thanks for sharing it with everyone.
At the same time, the presentation of the game, I feel, could use some work. Obviously, things like animations and sound effects would go a long way in helping make the game feel more alive. I also felt that, given there's only one level, there wasn't much to do? Like, I removed all the furniture on my first try, so I thought the game was a bit too easy.
ETA: Also, played your game, live!

Funny idea! Love how goofy the tipping house indicator is.
