Fun, but buggy – Find The Balance Review

The concept of this game is good. It takes some time to get used to the insane, unrealistic friction between objects, but that ends up being useful in a lot of the levels. Some problems with the app: 1. Every level has the same timer constraints to get 3 stars. There are levels where I need to place 3 objects in 30 seconds to get 3 stars, and others that make me place 8. It doesn’t gradually increase in difficulty either. I never ran into a level that was impossible to get 3 stars on, though. 2. What’s up with the noises? Objects make the strangest sounds when colliding with other objects, and the sounds just play a bunch of times if an object is rolling off of a ledge. 3. At the beginning, as other reviewers have noted, there are a few advertisements that pop up, don’t play, and leave me stuck having to close and reopen the app. This happened to me 3 times, but eventually stopped occurring, so maybe it’s fixed. 4. Some players have noticed that they can’t progress through a star gate, even though they had the required number of stars. I never noticed this, however. 5. Every time I close out of the app, I lose all of my gems. This is a huge issue, costing me probably thousands of gems. At least there isn’t any mandate to use them. 6. Level 81 seemed kinda cheap, though technically possible. I figured out a way to pass it without using a hint, but it took some risky ball placement. 7. Level 82 does not work. When I looked at the hint for it, it showed objects that were overlapping with other objects, and others that were suspended in midair. If there is a way to pass this level, I won’t be able to figure it out on my own. There seems to be something broken about the last pack of levels (81-88), but I can’t be 100% certain that this is true. Anyway, I really enjoyed what I got out of this app. I hope the developer(s) fix some of the kinks, because if they did, this would truly be a 5 star app. Thanks for reading this super long review.
