Hey! I remember you from the BlackThornProd game jam, you made that Bee game! I really enjoyed this game, the gameplay was solid and it was a unique take not only on the theme but with the 'control two characters at once'. The graphics were simple and try made this a great experience. I thought the little ending animation was cool too!
Overall, fantastic game!
ha. Thank you) bee game, yeah...
This is a really nice game, especially since its your second from what I've seen! Great ambience overall, nice music, its a simple concept but it worked really well! Arriving with the small balls at the "goals" was really satisfying, so great job on that! Good job, I really liked it! :)
Amazing concept with equally interesting level design. The level design had plenty of room for creativity.
Thanks. I checked your game too. Soooo polished for such short time. I was a bit confused in the begging on how to control the things though
Bro, fantastic game, great song, great level design, and fantastic concept, for my team's game we also did a yin and yang platformer, and the mirrored effect was one of our brainstorms, although we didn't go in that rout, its cool to see what other people can to around a similar source material.
Hey, thank you very much! I was eager to try your game.. Unfortunately I am on Mac and your game seem to be for Win.
Anyway, great to see similar ideas!)
Yeah I’m definitely going to look into web gl next time, that seems the way to go

Well made with few bugs. It's rather intuitive. The guitar was a pleasant surprise. However, there wasn't much incentive to the game.
Hi, thank you.
I checked and rated your game too. Really liked well thought through polished visuals - all in one concept and colours, elements, interaction. Really well done. And easy to play too.

PPS. And special thanks for noticing guitar in the game)
It was fun to play, i liked the music and sound effects
Hi Rip the Skinny,
Checked your work. Impressive visuals - characters, animation and lights! that spotlight element is just so immersive. I only reviewed your video playthrough because I am on Mac unfortunately. But very impressed - so went on and rated the game too.

Cool concept, loved your sound effects :D
I think you can do a lot with this type of mechanic, maybe let them both jump on the same time no matter if they are in the air or not and add some spikes so you need to be careful and move them so they won't hit the spikes or something.
You could do a lot with this, well done!
really cool atmosphere
Hi SimplyDev,
Checked and rated your game. It is a fresh air to see not arcade game) Cool concept which can drive the game far if developed further.
One thing: I won election at least 5 times in a row by just clicking on the first answer on every question. Do not know if it intentional or I was just lucky))

Yeah I noticed that too! At the time I finished the game I really didn't think about that, but next time I will!
cool music
Hi Amadeus,
I sat to check your game but unfortunately I am on Mac( What I liked from screenshot - tutorial in the game - these WASD symbols in environment) its cool when game explains itself by gameplay elements not by "normal" tutorial.

To be honest this game is the best I have seen today, also as a Chinese its so impressive to introduce the yin-yang concept into a game!
Hi, thank you for such compliment) I did not respond because I wanted to check your game first. Now I did.
Impressed with complete quest and inventory rpg system. And the story! I think having a solid story is a crucial element for game feel. I came to same conclusion in my postmortem I wrote here: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/topic/1231056/yin-and-yang-in-search-of-harmony-l... Check it out, maybe it will bring some value to you too.

Nice game, fits really well the theme.
Just a little bug... When you press a lot spacebar during jumps, when passing the same color platform, you can double, even triple jump.
Hi,
First of: thanks for reporting a bug with double jump for my game.
Just checked and rated your game. Good combination of RTS feel and ant colony simulation, you can do so much with it. I struggled to understand controls in the beggining however.

The concept was amazing and it fit the theme! Completed the game and I had a lot of fun doing so. gameplay was very creative and I had to think how I would move the characters. For next time try spicing up the graphics a bit. very nice game

Nice job! Would love more levels :)
Hi Karjah,
Checked your game. Unfortunately I am on Mac so could not play it. I liked your robot character, theme and tile-base levels.
Thanks, Andrey

Nice gameplay, and cool concept using the yin and yang! The music was great to chill to!
Hi, checked and rated your game. Cool twist of classics! and hard to win actually!
Nooby question: how did you do a trail which follows bullets? is it an animation and/or lighting and/or shader effect? and also a "skin" effect around enemies?

Thanks for trying my game! I appreciate it! In unity, under effects, you can add trails. So I just created a trail and attached it to each of the prefabs that needed it.
Thanks! as a Chinese I'm really happy to see something coming out of Taoism!
The game mechanic is really simple, easy to understand without any explanation, but the level design is really incredible I enjoyed all the levels.
(I reply twice for the game jam submission vote)
thank you! I will review your game too
Hi Mary, I wanted to check your game but unfortunately I am on Mac(
