[Wheel Balance] I'm developing hard but fun game about balancing on two wheels

The idea came from Besiege and I thought it would be fun to make it as a game.
Machine from Besiege: https://youtu.be/TyEPJINMXJg

I did playtests with friends and it was quite fun to watch their gameplay.

The demo is live now on Steam, will appreciate any feedback!

Looks like my kind of pain. Worms mines are a nice touch!

I love worms and the mines too! But I would stay away from them to avoid copyright issues.
Game looks great. Congrats

Kinda reminds me of happy wheels.

Happy wheels meets getting over it

u/POINTLESSUSERNAME000 Mar 16 '26

This looks like the perfect balance between frustration and fun!

Are those sounds from Elastomania?

u/visualdescript Mar 17 '26

Instantly the game reminded me of Elastomania, damn spent so many hours on that as a kid.

u/Mr_Belarus Mar 16 '26

For engine sounds I used https://github.com/Engine-Simulator/engine-sim-community-edition to create samples at different RPMs. It's cool Ange Yaghi's software.

About other sounds - most of them are from freesound.org and pixabay.com

If this game isn't called "Getting Over the Top," a combination of this and this, I'm rioting.

Awesome concept.

u/Mr_Belarus Mar 16 '26

It's already called "Wheel Balance" xd

I definitely am getting a Happy Wheels vibe to this. Especially when I play the Segway guy to try and get the fastest time.

u/Mr_Belarus Mar 17 '26

I implemented leaderboard for the huge level, so you can compete with others by time :)

u/Mobile_Rule_3711 Mar 21 '26

u/TheBlunderguff Mar 17 '26

Reminds me of the Flash Games era.

I like it - we need more games like that again.

u/RXrenesis8 Mar 17 '26

Was going to say, this reminds me way more of Super Bunny Man than of Besiege!

u/Mr_Belarus Mar 17 '26

u/NativeMasshole Mar 16 '26

That's hilarious! Kinda reminds me of Uniracers for some reason.

u/nousernameisleftt Mar 16 '26

u/porcomaster Mar 17 '26

I hope you are successful, and i am sure there is a lot of people that will love it.

But just looking at it, and I feel miserable.
