Fragile Equilibrium

Fragile Equilibrium is a side-scrolling shoot ’em up about the impermanence of life and the tension between progress and regrowth. You make quick actions and forced decisions while using subtle strategy, but each decision pushes the game further out of balance.

A world in decay

As balance deteriorates, the world erodes over time and space, shrinking the area you can move through and pressing in on you. The game uses layered interactions and a Wabi Sabi aesthetic in a broken world of yesterday’s fantasies, inviting reflection on play, the world, nostalgia and yourself.

Levels and difficulty

The game has four side-scrolling levels that descend into chaos. As your skills improve, you can take on four difficulty levels, from easy to insane.
