Description

Without electricity there is chaos. Balance is a free puzzle game about electricity and power grids. Your goal is to make sure there are no blackouts, that the power grids are functional, and that you always produce the right amount of power.

The game offers many challenges you probably never thought about:
- Did you know that the amount of power produced is changed all day and night to match the amount we use?
- Did you know that there is a limit on how much power you can transmit through a single power line without it getting overloaded?
- Did you know that an well-built power grid could have any one line disconnected without causing blackouts?
You do not need any knowledge about electricity or power grids in order to enjoy this game.

Balance is developed by Statnett, the system operator in the Norwegian energy system, and is based on real challenges they work with every day.

Cool game, but the timer takes out much of the fun. I think it would be better if each item had a cost and stars were gained by staying under a budget.

To those that think advertisements are annoying (they are)

Just turn off wi fi. Simple.

A fun game ruined by interruptive advertisements

Could be five stars but the ads repeatedly interrupt the otherwise great gameplay and learning experience. Unfortunately there is no way to opt out or pay to remove the ads so I’m going to have to uninstall instead of continuing on.
