About

The Balcony is a challenging, yet a satisfying physics based game. The game consists of two game types; the campaign and the arcade mode.

You are high above surrounded by various objects which can cause destruction when combined with gravity. Your boss requests you to clear the streets from the ominous targets as they are causing harm for the innocent civilians. Are you able to protect the city in time?
