Inside Keep the Balance (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It)
Keep the Balance is a puzzle game released for the Game Boy Color in 2001, exclusively in Europe. It was published by JoWooD Productions and developed by Karma Studios, who ported it from a Windows version created the year before by Item Multimedia. The cartridge supports English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian, making it accessible across the region. This is a straightforward, official retail release, not a hack or homebrew, and it stands as one of the more unusual physics-based titles on Nintendo's handheld.
How to Play Keep the Balance (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) Online
Getting Started
In Keep the Balance, your goal is to place objects onto a pair of scales without letting the platform tip too far. Each level presents a set of items with different weights, and you must drop them one at a time onto either the left or right pan. The scales react in real time, and if one side dips too low, you lose. The core loop is simple: you see the objects coming, decide where to put them, and try to keep the balance as close to level as possible.
New players should start by watching how each object shifts the scale. Heavier items can throw things off quickly, so it often pays to alternate sides or place the heaviest pieces in the center (when possible). There is no time limit, so take a moment to study the object sequence before acting. The game provides feedback through the scale's tilt and a visual indicator, so pay close attention. If you clear a level, a new one with trickier object combinations appears.
