About

Yajirobe Balance

Read full description

Squishy, cute-creepy creatures keep tumbling down from above! Tap left or right to keep the "yajirobe" balancing toy level — a simple yet addictive balance game. ■ Easy to learn, deep to master Just send each falling creature to the left or right. But the more level you keep it, the higher your score multiplier climbs! Read the heavy and light ones and push your balance to the limit. ■ Cute-creepy friends Slimes, ghosts, one-eyes, rock monsters, long caterpillars… lots of slightly spooky yet adorable creatures, with satisfying squishy animations. Gnaw eats the piece below it, Soak drinks the goo, Puff swells over time, and the new Muncher does both — eats and grows. Handling them is where the game is won. ■ The "melting" thrill Leave a creature alone and it gets impaled on the central spike and melts into goo… the puddle makes everything slippery — danger! ■ Great for you if - You want quick fun in spare moments - You're looking for a free one-handed game - You love simple games you keep coming back to - You want something that works offline (planes, trains, anywhere) From kids to adults — everyone, go for the high score!
