Bar Balance Editor's Review

Bar Balance is a freeware puzzle game which takes the basic “connect three” concept seen in thousands of cheap bejewled style games, and actually does something interesting with it, adding a lot of new elements to the game, namely the bar that you have to balance your blocks on while trying to connect three. This adds a physics element to the game, and makes it about more than just trying to connect squares of the same colour, but makes you include scoring, and balance into your decisions.

The gameplay of bar balance is that you will be given random blocks, and only be able to tell what block you'll get one block before you get it, making you prepare for the worst. These blocks will have a colour, and a number on. The colour represents what blocks it needs to be connected with, and the number is its weight. You can remove blocks from the stage if they hit against three other blocks of the same type, making it a little more complex than just grouping the same colour blocks together. In addition to this, the blocks have to be placed on a bar which, if tilted to far will knock blocks of. If even a single block falls of the bar, it's game over.

The scoring in bar balance is interesting as it encourages risky play, as the block placement area is split up into 10 sections, with the furthest to the right and left (the areas where the bar is most likely to be tipped) having the highest multipliers, giving up to eight times the points for placing blocks into the middle. This means with correct balance and serious mouse skills you can rack up some serious points in a short space of time, with the only issue being making blocks connect from opposite ends of the bar.

The controls for the game are simple, the mouse is used to controls the menu's, and when you are in the top half of the screen (with the scoring multipliers) clicking will allow you to place a block, and make it fall onto the bar. If you use a laptop or any other device with a track pad, it's recommend you plug in a mouse if you want to take the game seriously, as serious reflexes with your wrist are needed to switch from one side to the other. Graphics are quite basic, and do the job, being clear simple and making the game run at a solid frame rate, and the audio is just an interesting audio track, that after a few tense games will definitely force you to mute the game.

Overall bar balance is a pretty good puzzle game with a great deal of fun to be had. If you enjoy the basic puzzle game system of “connect three” but are tired of all the clones out there, this game provides an interesting mix of that basic formula, risk and gambling with the multipliers and a really fun physics game that will keep you entertained trying to beat your highest score for a long time, without having to go for achievements or beating all the levels, which is always a great route for a puzzle game to take.
