Balanced Diet was created as a tech demo to show off everything in the smgbalib library. The developer came up with the idea while feeling sluggish after eating binges. The game is simple: you pick a selection of 4 foods that push your diet towards being either too unhealthy or too bland, and you have to do this quickly while your hunger rises.

It is a simple but slightly addictive game, and a good first game from developer Sebastian Mihai.

Depending on what you eat, the following happen:

- four of a kind – eating four unhealthy or bland foods will greatly shift the balance toward the respective extreme (8x score bonus)
- three of a kind – eating three unhealthy or bland foods will shift the balance toward the respective extreme (4x score bonus)
- balanced (two unhealthy, two bland) – eating two unhealthy and two bland foods will shift the balance either way, randomly determined (no score bonus)
