Keep the Balance!

Windows - 2000

From Austria's JoWood Productions comes an ingenious and tough little puzzle game.

Keep the Balance is chock full of tough puzzles and addicting gameplay. An evil jester has been unleashed into our universe.

His objective is to unbalance the Scales of Good.

You must stop the jester by re-balancing each scale, then proceed to the next level where the challenge gets tougher. It sounds like a quite simple objective, but don't let appearances fool you.

Most of the items that you place on the balance have a mind of their own.

If one of the objects would happen to jump up or make any kind of motion, you must quickly rebalance the scales.

That pesky jester is also doing his best to create chaos and deconstruct the whole balance by jumping on it or throwing random objects off of it. Keep the Balance is held together with solid level design and quirky, unique graphics.

Every level offers great object animations and challenges that will make your palms sweat and have you pulling your hair out.

If you enjoy puzzle games with a unique twist that serve up fun for the entire family, then Keep the Balance more than fits the bill.

Much nicer video/sound than the Gameboy version. Essentially the same otherwise. If you want to stop the initial noise on entering the home menu, open the .cue with Notepad and add one second to track 2's index:
INDEX 01 21:48:18 to INDEX 01 21:49:18
This changes the size of the data track slightly, but doesn't affect the game in any way.
