A calm physics puzzle game where you stack oddly shaped blocks into a balanced tower without it all tumbling down.

About

Grab your controller and build a balanced stack in this physics-based puzzler! The goal sounds simple at first: Build a balanced stack from all given shapes, but there are plenty of challenges. Some shapes break under load, while others can even reverse gravity and literally turn the stack upside down. With practice, some experimentation and a little bit of luck however you'll quickly master even the most difficult challenges. Packed with 5 unique game modes, online play and local split-screen, Art of Balance is the ultimate test for aspiring puzzle masters. On supported platforms, three additional players can join in at any time and help you solve the puzzles. With a relaxing lounge soundtrack and 8 beautiful environments, Art of Balance is the ideal fit for casual gaming sessions alone or with friends.
