I like that it feels very fair. If it runs out of balance then it felt like I did something wrong and not that the game would be too strict. But I miss some replay-value.

It does one thing but it does it so well! The only small suggestion I have is maybe show the sliders on top of (or through) the balls, so it's easier to see the range of side-to-side movement you have available even as the size of the balls changes. The level of polish was really nice, and the pace of the game felt just right.

The background music is brilliant and really adds to the feel of the game. I like how the balancing board is also physics based and can also bounce up off the centre. The only thing I disliked was that the larger balls hit the board slightly sooner than the smaller ones making it feel a little unfair that the heavier one always gets to affect the board first.
