Balance by Name, FISH by Nature

Humanity knows very little about the depths of the ocean. But today a mysterious creature emerged from its depths: the Balance Fish.

It's a deeply unfortunate moment in the deep.

Your underwater city's power supply has become unbalanced. Embark on a mission to harness energy from the Nuclear Reactor, balance the grid, and save the city! โšก

Developer Notes 

Hello there! I'm Hope41 ๐Ÿ‘‹

Here's some additional info about Balance FISH...

  • Made in pure JavaScript, no libraries
  • Balance FISH was made in 13 days for the Gamedev.js Jam 2025
  • No Artificial Intelligence was used to create this game
  • Music made on a whim one evening, when I realised the game might suffer without some noise to hum along to ๐ŸŽถ
  • All sound effects sourced from authentic Pixabay sounds

They say it's the weird games that get noticed. I'm not sure that's true - but hey, here we are anyway — with a strange, deep-sea fish (with legs, don't forget), trying to balance an electrical system to bring his underwater city back to life.
