Drop Balance
Read full descriptionHide full description
Drop Balance is a physics puzzle about weight. A beam rests on a pivot. You are handed a few shapes — a block of wood, a bar of iron, a pane of glass, a bag of sand — and one question: where does each one go, so that the beam still holds level when the last piece lands? Nothing here is on rails. Every drop is simulated. Things roll, slide, shatter, tip and settle, and a piece that ends up somewhere you did not intend is a piece you dropped from the wrong place. Learn what a material does and a level that looked impossible becomes obvious. WHAT'S INSIDE • 300 campaign levels across seven worlds, from a first gentle drop to genuinely hard • 11 themed packs of 30 levels each — three of them free • A new Daily Drop every day, with streaks • Endless: stack as high as you dare • Zen: no timer, no fail, just the beam SEVENTEEN MATERIALS, EACH WITH ITS OWN RULE Iron weighs six times what wood does for the same size. Foam fills space and weighs almost nothing — bulk is not ballast. Glass shatters on a hard landing. Ice slides off anything that is not level. A balloon is weight that pulls upward. Sand keeps its shape if you set it down and collapses into low ballast if you slam it — and both of those are answers. A magnet leans the beam toward itself. A bomb clears what is beside it, once. Hold any piece in the tray and the game tells you what it is, what it weighs, and what it will do. SKILL, NOT LUCK A centre-of-mass guide shows which way the beam will lean before you commit. A drop preview shows where the piece will actually land — on top of the stack, not through it. Three stars for a solve that is clean, steady and quick, and the win screen keeps a picture of the arrangement that worked, so you can see what you did. STANDINGS Join the daily board and see where today's solve lands against everyone else's. Or don't — the puzzles are identical either way, and you can leave at any time. PREMIUM Drop Balance is free to play, with ads. One purchase removes the ads and opens all eight paid packs — the ones released and the ones still to come. No subscription. No energy timers. Nothing to wait for.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Slitherlink at none against Drop Balance's shown. Drop Balance's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
