Bento Balance: Food Stacking Game

Lunch is a balancing act. Drop each bite onto a tilting tray and build the recipe shown at the top of the screen.

How it plays. Pick a spot over the tray and let the food fall: rice balls roll, salmon sushi sits flat, broccoli wobbles. When the three recipe pieces are on the tray, serve the order and bank the points. Whatever you leave behind changes the balance for the next order, so a neat stack can turn into a very wobbly lunch. Drop too much over one side and food slides off the edge, and each spill costs a napkin.
