Wow, this is um embarrassing, but I got kinda stuck on level 2!
I mean, I had a solution, but because the game won't call it good until all motion stops I just sat there and watched the time dwindle while my construction employed the kind of perpetual motion that would make any physicist jealous. It would be nice if this had a time limit to fall like Super Stacker.
Ah well, I shall go and give it another shot tomorrow.
alternate solution for 25
use the crosses vertically, by placing the bottom cross's base on the square, the next on the first ones left arm, and the third on the seconds left arm, the third will have to be done quickly, as it starts falling as soon as you place the second. when the falls, it hits the circle, and maintains its own structure, then just place the balls on the crosses.
it may not sound clear, so here's a pic of the finished level.

Check this out for level 29 (spoiler).
Not sure if you are supposed to be able to do this but I thought it was cool.
[Edit: Level correction by Kayleigh]
I know what you mean Kyle. I got to level four and had the same thing happen to me. One of the pieces was in a position where it wasn't going to fall, but it was moving. I just sat there until the time ran out and then I had to reset.
A timer would be good. Especially as there are probably several solutions to some levels.
haha, Adam, yes, I see what you did there. I don't know. I complain, but I really don't count the lack of a time limit against the game, it's just one of the things that sets it apart from other stackers. When they said perfect balance, they meant it.
It just means it's that much harder.
What I really need to do is do this on a computer with a mouse. Usually I reserve games that require significant mouse action for my work computer, but this game's on Kongregate which is firewalled at work, so that means I have to suck it up and use *gulp* my wife's computer!
Here's my solution for stage 14:
Don't ask me how this happened.
useful trick:
it seems to let you wedge things in where they shouldn't fit! this is level 9
I wedged the cross in, then thought I'd try the ball anyway, and it let me! so then I tried another ball.. http://picasaweb.google.com/sheepgomeep/DropBox#5314943417472628690
Here's a photo of what I managed to do on 19:
Level 13
The trick to beating this one is remembering that you can "squeeze" pieces in between other pieces. Here's my solution:

Put the grey piece on first. But you'll never get the red bar to stay that way on its own, but the orange one will. So place the orange piece first, and then use it to keep the red piece wedged.
I somehow doubt this is the real solution to level 14:

This is what happened when a piece fell off and I panicked. I'm still surprised it worked.
So what's the real solution?

Here is my solution to Perfect Balance 26.
x,the second LARGEST circle, then wedge in the straight block so that it buldges out to the left. That should give you a nice big ledge. Then put the L on top of it so that it is laying on its back and a little over the left hand edge as well. Start stacking your circles here, smallest to largest. And you're done!
