## What is Critter Scale?

Balance a wobbling beam, one critter at a time.

Critter Scale is a physics balancing game: creatures drop in one by one, and it's up to you to stack them so the beam holds steady. Lean too far and everything tips, spills, and melts away.

Every critter plays differently. A drifting Sipper drinks up spilled water and gets heavier as it drinks. A toothy Nibbler chews down whatever's stacked beneath it. A Swell puffs up bigger and bigger the longer it stays on the beam. Learn how each one shifts your balance, and land your placements clean for a PERFECT bonus.

Miss your window and a critter melts at the center spike, adding water to the board — useful for ditching a dangerous piece, risky if it floods the plank. Let too much pile up on one side, or let the water rise too high, and it's game over.

FEATURES
• Simple one-tap controls — steer each falling critter left or right
• A growing cast of critters, each with its own quirk and weight
• Combo scoring with a multiplier that builds on clean landings
• Choose from multiple plank finishes to customize your board
• Compete for the top spot on the global leaderboard
• Remove Ads or grab the Supporter Pack to support development

How high can you stack before it all comes tumbling down?

### 1.3 — 2026-09-22

Go for green!
The TILT badge now turns green when the plank is dead level. Land a critter while it's green for a PERFECT, and the bottom three rows of both towers squash down into their cushions. Your towers shrink, the plank stays put, and it pays big.

Every critter has its own weight
No two critters weigh the same anymore. Balance one with its twin, or get clever with combos: a Wisp and a Pip weigh exactly the same as a Dot. Swells, Sippers and nibbled critters settle on a weight you can match once they finish changing.

A fairer, sharper scale
• The plank tips over the instant it passes 17°, with no countdown and no guessing.
• The scale stays responsive all run, so one spare critter always shows.
• More variety in what drops: the same critter won't come twice in a row or every other drop.
• The camera now zooms back in as your towers come down.

All-new Customize screen
See your whole look at once in a live preview, browse by category, and try on locked looks before you unlock them.

14 new awards
Fresh challenges to unlock every look: land PERFECTs back to back, pull off a close call, max out your multiplier, and more.

Also
• A cleaner drop guide.
• The tutorial and How to Play now cover PERFECTs and squashing.
• Plenty of fixes: tall towers no longer outgrow the screen.
