From Austria's JoWood Productions comes an ingenious and tough little puzzle game. Keep the Balance is chock-full of tough puzzles and addicting game play. An evil jester has been unleashed into our universe. His objective is to unbalance the Scales of Good. You must stop the jester by 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 balance 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 by 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. Reviewed by: doowopman |
