Balance is a game about keeping your Balance on a Ball, while trying to avoid deadly obstacles along the way!

To play, you'd walk over to a stage and if a Ball was ready, just sitting there, you would just hop on the ball and stand on the front of it so it will move forward. After moving it a little, it'll start to move forward on it's own! If the ball wasn't there, you could wait until the purple brick usually on the right of the stage turns from red to purple, then press it to bring it back.

This game has a unique concept, with some flaws that unfortunately made it hard to play. The biggest flaw being the lag, if there was more than 1 player on a ball, it would lag to the point of being unplayable.

Popularity

This game was extremely popular during the Flamingo "raid", getting over 100 players at a time, while never being actually featured in a video.

Events

This game had 3 events, the first one being the Hat Obby. The Hat Obby was an event not actually made by Gr_3en, but by the players themselves. It was discovered when someone randomly dropped a hat into the void, but noticed it landed on an invisible killbrick below the map. They then started using these hats as small platforms to move around, and quickly got popular at the time. Gr_3en then made an obby dedicated to the Hat Obby, located near the Extreme Winners.

The best part about the Hat Obby, is that it actually solved a problem for Gr_3en, which was a concept called Balance CHAOS. This would be the exact same game as Balance, but everyone would have Swords and Paintball Guns. It failed as it simply took too long to recreate everything from scratch, and so at the end of the Hat Obby, Gr_3en placed a sword giver that does a small amount of damage. This sword giver has a 15 minute cooldown.

The Big Update was a game made to Prank players of Balance to make them think something HUGE had happened, when really it was a poorly made "copy". It was set in a different game than Balance (to make sure nothing went wrong with the ACTUAL game). You spawn at the start with copy paste Noob NPC's with somewhat different poses. The gameplay would be this Moving Block (disguised as a Cylinder) that you would need to move with. It didn't move you, so you would have to hold W and slow down to make sure you didn't go too fast. There were 2 jumps, 1 near the start and 1 near the end. It was also in the time period "David Blocks 1994", which made it harder to play, however after April Fools it was changed to Early 2013 so it could still be played with less trouble. It didn't get that popular, and really didn't fool anyone. (Images coming soon!)
