    Which iPhone balancing game do you really like?
    Where would you place Libra balance in a top ten list? ;)

    I don't know if it fits into the same subcategory but stay is a really good balancing game.

    I too am a huge fan of Stay but, hmm, is this supposed to be limited to accelerometer based balance games?

    This game looks interesting but I'm not really understanding if the point is to make the balls go in the hole or trying to ensure they don't? Do the later levels introduce clever gameplay twists or are they just different graphical themes? Do the different colored balls have unique weights and or handling?

    Can on score combos and make points or is it a matter of getting the best time?

    Hey Carlos, I know you are the dev of Libra Balance, so I am sorry but the lite version of the game just didn't do it for me. The concept got really old very quickly. I am much more a fan of the games that have a specific beginning and ending like labyrinth or gem labyrinth. I also liked playing super monkey ball back in the day so am excited there is a sequel coming out. I guess those are my types of balancing games.

    You've got to drive the balls into the hole, by tilting and turning the ingame platter.
    Both.
    Yes. They differ in mass, therefore react slightly different to your movements. The physics engine is quite accurate, it simulates the newtonian laws, including friction.
    The quicker the better. However, you should try not to let the balls fall off the platter, as this will also decrease your score slightly.

    Ok, thanks. Maybe I oversimplified the gameplay in the LITE version, by choosing only levels from the paid version's tutorial.

    I've just submitted a new Libra balance LITE version for review a few hours ago; included 2 levels from each of the 3 themes (PLAYGROUND, CLASSIC and ANCIENT) available in the paid version.
    Besides, online leaderboards and social networking are now also part of the LITE version.

    Stay is a really good balancing game one - both gameplay and looks.

    I think that might help your game.

    To be honest though I agree with the other posters about what comes to mind in a balancing game. Balancing would be adding things and still keeping things in equilibrium. I mentioned Labyrinth and Super Monkey Ball because they are the rolling type of games that I believe your game seems more similar to.
