🏙 LibraCity - City planning on a needle

LibraCity is a city planning game on a needle. Literally. In this puzzle game, the entire city rests on a base plate at equilibrium over a needle. Adding buildings destabilizes the entire city. Complete each level by laying out the required buildings while keeping the stability of the entire city.

Made in 🦀 Rust with 🕊 Bevy Engine.

The original version was published as an official entry in Ludum Dare 49 (theme: "unstable"), and is playable online. The code for the official version is tagged as ld49. Development continues post-jam on the main branch.

How to play

The goal is to place all buildings available in the inventory while keeping the base plate of the city at equilibrium over the needle (the center of the plate). Each building has a weight, making it tilt the plate more or less. Buildings further away from the needle also "count" more toward tilting (level effect).

Controls:

• SPACE to place a building
• R to reset a level and retry
