This weekend was devoted to gamedev..... or I thought so. I container numerous running around for children and a lack of computer time :D But that didn't stop me. I took a simple idea and decided to make a simple game about balance.

For my Ludum Dare game you need to collect "balls" that are falling into your buckets. Using the A/D keys to balance yourself you need to try and stay on as long as possible to catch the falling balls. But with each ball that falls into your bucket, that side gets heavier. The heavier you are, the harder it is to control yourself.

I think the best part about the game is falling off, because of the ragdoll physics I found myself falling off countless times just laughing to my self at how silly it was.

Anyway if you would like to try out my game please check it out at https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/ludum-dare-40-balance-game

It isn't much but having 4 children make's it a little hard to actually sit down and complete something.

Circle Swarm is a small game where you run out of space by getting hit by enemies. You can use a paddle to stop the enemies from hitting your center that causes you to get bigger. How many points can you get?
