About The Balcony

Campaign:

In the campaign your goal is to follow your boss' orders to take out the notorious targets off the streets.

Over 120 throwable objects.
Satisfying physics.

Love the idea but the throwing mechanics is trash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The zombie mode is the only fun part.

The Balcony — инди-игра с атмосферным сюжетом и нестандартным подходом к геймплею. История разворачивается в уютном балконе, где игрок принимает решения, влияющие на отношения персонажей. Графика минималистична, но эмоционально насыщенная. Звуковая сцена усиливает напряжение. Хотя игра короткая, она оставляет глубокий след. Рекомендую тем, кто ценит психологические драмы и экспериментальный формат.

Decent game. The concept/story is pretty good, controls are basic and all achievements are doable with a bit of practice throwing things. The only thing I don't like is the waiting time on some levels if you miss the targets (like the parade level).
