Tiny Balance by SolidHinken

You’re a stack of tiny creatures trying to sneak out of the house, throw on a cloak, and pretend to be human. Why? To go to work and earn enough cash to pay rent! But there’s a catch — balancing all these little guys on top of each other isn’t easy.

Your goal: tilt left and right to stay upright, save your money, and make rent. Spend too much or lose your balance, and it’s game over.

Will you manage to keep up the act and keep the roof over your heads?

I did find it funny that pressing the space bar seemed to put your coat on and off.
Gameplay wise, it got a little too easy once I it figured - I was making more money than the rent, and the levels weren't getting harder, so it got a bit repetitive - but if the difficulty ramped up after a few days it would be really good. Well done!!
I think the balance mostly was not a problem neither were the money - so, perhaps making it a little harder and/or adding variety would serve it well.
One bug, I got stuck on the wall at one point, not sure how :D

All that being said, the visuals and music were very charming and I especially loved the contrast between the music!
ost: the house: :slight_smile: the outside: :fire: :fire: :fire:

I wasn't 100% sure how to avoid losing money (outside of avoiding cars). It seemed like there were some things in my path that I wasn't able to avoid that would cost me $20? Unless I'm missing some sort of jumping mechanic...
PS I love how I can change my costume by pressing space, ESPECIALLY because it puts lil hats on my little pig children at home. :rofl: Nice job!
Absolutely love the animals models :D
