Falling Planets
Hop from planet to planet as they rise and shrink. Last one up wins.
1–8 playersBalance: the shrinking see-saw party game for 2–8 phones
The board shrinks. Stay on it, nudge everyone else off.
Everyone stands on the same see-saw. It tilts under your weight, it gets shorter every few seconds, and only one of you is still on it at the end.

Walk the Board
Drag the stick to run left and right. The board pivots on its centre, so every step you take changes the angle for everybody.
Jump and Shove
JUMP hops you clear of a bad slope — or lands you on somebody who was standing comfortably. Bodies collide, so positioning is a weapon.
Survive the Shrink
The board loses length on a timer, and after about 28 seconds sudden death speeds the shrink up hard. Fall off and you are out. Last one standing wins.

Balance FAQ
The questions people ask before the first round.
How is Balance different from Falling Planets?
Balance is one shared surface that tilts — everything you do affects everyone else's footing. Falling Planets gives each player their own landing to aim at and makes you climb.
How many players can play Balance?
2–8 players. It is at its best with five or more, when the board can barely hold everybody before the shrinking even starts.
Can I push other players off in Balance?
Yes. There is no dedicated shove button — you do it with your body, by running into people and landing on them. Leaning the board is the subtler version of the same trick.
What is sudden death?
If the round drags on, the board starts shrinking much faster, so a stalemate between two careful players cannot last.
