Have you ever played a game that, at times, makes you want to hit yourself in the face with a cricket bat? Think of uncanny, wonky, physics-based games like QWOP or Getting Over It.

WorthwhileBalancelot is an unusual experiment of the side-scrolling platform genre based on a simple, creative and artistically inspired idea, but which unfortunately leaves a lot to be desired regarding the execution of its mechanics, graphics, physics and even with regard to its history . Anyway, the game can captivate for some time those who are interested...
Balancelot has a solid aesthetic and a unique approach to gameplay, but even without the awkward combat that originality is hit and miss.
OK, so there are just games out there plain determined to run a singular idea into the ground and for me Balancelot falls right into that category...
