Short written description of the game 

"The Balance" is a cooperative physics-puzzle platformer built on the theme of Equivalent Exchange. The core of the game is managing the relationship between two characters whose physical properties are literally connected—what one gains, the other must lose.🏗️ Game SummaryYou and a partner (or you controlling two characters) must navigate hazardous underwater environments, including The Abyss. The game focuses on "Co-op Balance":Mass Exchange: Using the Q and E keys, you shift mass between the characters. If the Left character grows larger and heavier, the Right character simultaneously becomes smaller and faster.Fuel Management: In Level 2, you must harvest energy from Golden Fuel Plates. This energy powers the ability to stabilize Rotating Seesaws, which would otherwise tip and drop you into the void based on your weight.Unified Goal: Both players must reach their respective exit doors (caves) at the same time to progress.

Core MechanicsThe ExchangeYour size dictates your physics.Large size: High mass, moves slowly, jumps lower, but can sink floating objects and push heavy obstacles.Small size: Low mass, moves very fast, jumps very high, but is easily pushed by water currents.Golden Fuel PlatesIn "The Abyss," look for glowing golden floor plates. Standing on these charges your Bubble Fuel. This fuel is essential for crossing the seesaws.Rotating SeesawsThese platforms rotate based on where you stand and how heavy you are.Unpowered: If you have no fuel, standing on the edge will cause the plank to tilt down. If it tilts too far, you will slide off.Powered: If you have fuel, the seesaw "locks" into a flat, stable bridge, making it easy to cross.

🏆 How to WinLevel 1: Work together to reach the far right. You must maintain a specific balance to break the Magic Wall before you can reach the exit caves.Level 2: Collect fuel to stabilize the floating seesaws. Navigate the "Exit Island" at the end of the abyss.The Exit: Both players must overlap their specific exit doors (the glowing caves) at the same time. A timer will count down; stay still until the level transitions!
