Clay Bubble Balance
By @GaoSong
Keep a growing tower of clay bubbles upright by activating fans to push against the lean.
How to play
- Watch the balance meter to see which way the bubble tower is leaning.
- Activate the fan on the opposite side to push the tower back upright.
- Wait for new bubbles to spawn automatically every two seconds.
- Keep the tower stable until you reach the goal of 25 bubbles.
Controls

- Tap the left or right fan buttons on the screen to push the tower.
- Keyboard
- Press the Left and Right arrows or A and D keys to activate the fans.
- Mouse
- Click the left or right fan buttons on the screen to push the tower.
More about this game
Your goal is to successfully stack a tower of 25 clay bubbles. Every few seconds, a new bubble drops in, adding its own weight and causing the tower to lean. You must activate the left and right fans to push the tower back to the center. As the tower grows taller, it becomes more unstable and wobbles faster. If it tilts too far, it spills, costing you a heart and some bubbles. Lose three hearts and the run ends.
Tips
- Using a fan costs 2 points from your score, so rely on short, precise taps rather than holding it down constantly.
- You earn more points when a new bubble spawns if your tower is perfectly centered, up to 175 points per drop.
- If your tower spills, you get a 1.35-second grace period. Use this steady time to recenter before physics take over again.
Questions
How do I get a high score?
Keep the tower as straight as possible. You earn passive points every second you stay safely balanced, and you get a maximum bonus of 75 extra points when a bubble spawns if the lean is near zero.
What happens when the tower falls?
If the lean passes the spill threshold, you lose one of your three hearts, up to three bubbles pop, and you lose 250 points. The tower then straightens out slightly to let you recover.
Why does the tower lean on its own?
Each of the 25 bubbles spawns with a random weight bias that pulls the tower left or right. As the stack gets taller, the combined weight makes the whole structure wobble much faster.
