A downloadable game

Keep Calm & Balance is an action balancing game. It was created as a submission for the first Gosu Game Jam, with version 0.4 being the submitted one. Few more features and additional polish were added after the end of jam (starting with v0.5). The game is open-source on GitLab.

Your goal is to keep balancing the barrel on the seesaw for as long as possible. Game ends when the centre of barrel leaves the window area.
