Off-balance Walkthrough

Off-balance is a unique and engrossing online puzzle game that will satisfy even the most experienced puzzle game player. The game is most definitely difficult and the controls are a bit tricky to get used to, but the longer you play the more you will improve. It just takes a little patience and a little logic. This game is well worth the effort.

The goal of Off-balance is to touch all of the red dots so that they turn blue. Once your screen is all blue dots, you progress to the next level. The game starts off fairly easy so you have the chance to get used to how the game is played. As you progress, though, the game gets much more difficult. Once you get the level three, things are already beginning to get more challenging. Once you get to level four, you'll probably begin to find you're having more and more difficulty with the puzzles. Things only get harder from there.

The basic controls of Off-balance are perhaps what makes the game the most challenging. You are given an arrow at the center of the screen, but, unlike most other puzzle games online, you don't click the arrow. Instead, you hover your mouse over it and move your cursor in the direction you want to move. The further away from the arrow you move your cursor the faster you will move. Speed really is your enemy here. Take your time and move carefully. It is extremely hard to control movement if you are moving too quickly. Instead, gradually move in the direction you want to go. That is really the only way to get through this game.

Overall, Off-balance is one of the most uniquely challenging puzzle games online. Breaking away from the traditional point and click controls, the game is instantly much more difficult than most of the other puzzle games you've played. Once you play through a few rounds, however, you'll start getting the hang of the controls and you'll get a lot less frustrated. Be patient. You'll get the hang of it. This game is well worth the effort and is a great way to kill a little time while exercising your brain.
