Balance Game

Play Balance Game free online. Keep a wobbly pole upright on a cart while gusts of wind try to knock it over.

A real inverted-pendulum balancing act. A tall pole stands on a little cart. Drive the cart left and right to keep the pole from toppling — just like balancing a broom on your hand, you move towards the side it is leaning. Gusts of wind push the pole and get stronger the longer you last.

How to play Balance Game

Objective: Keep the pole balanced for as long as possible.

  1. The pole starts almost upright but will fall without help.
  2. If the pole leans right, drive right to get the cart back under it — and the same for left.
  3. Wind gusts (shown at the top) push the pole sideways.
  4. If the pole leans more than 60°, it falls and the round ends.

Scoring

10 points per second balanced.

Difficulty levels

Higher difficulty makes the pole tip faster and the gusts stronger.

Tips

  • Use short taps rather than holding a direction.
  • Correct early: small leans are easy to fix, big ones are not.
