Weighted Seesaw
Weighted Seesaw
Remember when you were small enough to sit on a seesaw with another kid your size ansd you wanted to see who would stay on the longest? You quickly learned how much role weight played and that's what you get to see in Weighted Seesaw. You have access to a perfectly balanced seesaw as well as an endless supply of blocks. You don't get to play with them all at once, so you need to make sure that all the blocks that you get are able to share the seesaw. Once you do that, you get the chance to play with other blocks.
About Weighted Seesaw
The seesaw is a device that can be found in fun places and serious places considering how they can be used. This game uses seesaws in a fun and puzzling way, but everything is pretty straightforward. It's all about putting the blocks on the seesaw so that they can all play together. You want to use your brains so that every block gets a chance to have fun on the seesaw before their turn ends. You'll need to consider geometry and call back to Tetris thinking to ensure that everything will stay balanced and the blocks will stand tall.
How to Play
Weighted Seesaw is a 2D puzzle game about stacking blocks on a seesaw in a balanced way using the mouse. To move blocks, move the cursor over to them, click and hold the Left Mouse button, and then drag them to where you want them. You can rotate them by clicking the little dial in the corner of their form. The goal is to stack all the blocks you're given on the seesaw so that they stay on the seesaw for at least five seconds.
When the game begins, you'll receive a random selection of blocks that'll appear at the bottom of the screen. You won't be able to get any new blocks until you get rid of the ones that you've been given. As long as the block is placed within the space outlined by the red dotted border, you can place them wherever and however you want. You also need to make sure that they don't overlap with each other or with the seesaw. Once all the blocks have been placed in the space, you can press play to add weight to the blocks. The countdown will start and if all the blocks stay in the space by the time it runs out, you'll complete the level. If not, you'll need to retry.
Tips and Tricks
You have a lot of time to think about all the possible arrangements that can be made with the blocks. Ideally, you want to make sure that all the blocks add up to equal structure sizes on both sides of the seesaw. Otherwise, do your best to stack them all up at the center of the seesaw.
