Balancing a game is hard. Not because you don't know what feels wrong — but because you can't always see why.

Game Balance Engine is a lightweight, no-code web tool that helps indie developers model, simulate, and analyze their game's resource systems — so you can catch imbalances before your players do.

What it does:

  • Define your resources (Gold, HP, Mana, Stamina — anything)
  • Map income & drain factors with conditions
  • Simulate turn-by-turn resource flow
  • Balance Check — instantly flag Critical, At Risk, or Healthy resources
  • Compare multiple builds/playstyles side by side
  • Model scaling curves, soft caps, diminishing returns
  • Attach Design Notes to capture your intent
  • Import/Export via Excel

Who is this for? Solo devs and small teams building games with resource systems — tower defense, 4X, city builder, RPG, strategy, survival.

How to access: This is a web-based tool. After purchase, you will receive a license key. Visit the app URL and enter your key to activate your account instantly — no installation needed.

$12 — one-time payment. No subscription. All future updates included.
