What is Counterpoise?
Counterpoise is a balance block puzzle game where you drop gem pieces onto an 8×8 board that sits on a pivot, clearing full rows and columns to free lucky charms locked in crystal. The twist is weight: a block on an outer column pulls the board 3.5 toward its side, one beside the middle only 0.5, and any drop that leaves the tilt past 16 simply will not go in. Forty short levels across Mercury, Venus, Earth and Jupiter hand you the same pieces every try, so you can plan a perfect run.
