A Unicycle game for coffee lovers #

It’s Saturday morning, 10:30am, and *you haven’t had your coffee yet*. Your need for caffeine is undeniable, there’s not a bean in the house, and you really, *really* hate walking. That coffee cart can’t be too far away, right?
Your eyes find your trusty unicycle across the room. Let’s do this.
“A Balanced Brew” is a challenging but charming tale of one person’s unicycle-mounted quest for a good coffee, across improbably treacherous terrain.

Play Tips #

Use the crank to pedal in either direction.
Mind your center of balance, and try pedaling backwards to tip yourself slightly toward your direction of travel.
Avoid crowds, pick your moment when crossing the street, and be careful of hazards such as mud or oil that threaten the unwary unicyclist!
