Amazing work! Simple yet well design game, with nice mechanic. And the best part, at least for me, is the music. You wrote a great tune. I too love listening and writing music.
Excelent job! Congratulations!
Hi LordDiego, thank you for reviewing my game. I also played and rated yours. You 3D modelling skills are quite envious) Simple elegant world of knights and dragons. I was not clear about the story and mission however - it went straight to hack'n'slash mode very quickly. Maybe by adding few sentences and/or story elements this could be improved even more. Well done!
PS. Your comment about music melted my heart - i am musician hobbyist first)
Yes, I run out of time for doing my original idea. But will do in the future update I'm planing to do. Will be much more understandable why you fight the dragon together.
Really like the idea! Due to the whole harmony-theme playing your game is both relaxing and tough!
Thank you. Great thought about game being both relaxing and tough. I also played your nice game about Mr Goat. Well polished game for 1 week. I love different special powers and intuitive and quite polished controls. Had a fund defeating those nasty ninjas!
Really cute visuals and pleasant art style. The soundtrack was relaxing and made me less frustrated when I couldn't figure out how to pass the level. Quite a simple game, so there's not much to say aside from adding some polish, for example in a situation where the player can stick to the side of the platforms. The animations are nice and the level design is easy and smart, perfect for a game jam. Overall, it is a short and nice relaxing game that I really enjoyed. Congrats on submitting!
Amazing game. SUPERB.
Thank you for your review and feedback! I also tried to start your game but for some reason it is stuck on Unity logo screen... Maybe others faced it already and you know how to overcome this?
This is one of the best games I played in this Jam! Awesome music, interesting concept and elegant art. I really loved it!
Thank you. I also played and rated yours. Love the art style and music! Nice little story! Well done, guys!
PS. У Вас русское имя - Вы из России? )
спасибо! да, из россии, но живу заграницей сейчас
Really fun game. I like the level design you made. The concept is very interesting and the music fits really well with the gameplay. Keep up the good work!
Very fun! cool level designs
Awesome concept, and great fun! What I would have liked to see is just more difficult levels, however it is great that you even managed to finish with how busy you are! Congratulations, the game really is great. If you can, you can also check mine out: Newtraction.
hi Zexsoft,
I only reviewed game page and screenshots (I am on Mac) - reminded me of Osmosis game for iPad - same atmosphere. I liked bright lighted colours.

PS. I written a postmortem / lessons learned of me making Yin & Yang here: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/topic/1231056/yin-and-yang-in-search-of-harmony-l... Maybe it will bring some value to you too.
Really like how you utilized the concept of Yin & Yang in this game, good job!
hi, thanks.
tried to review your game but unfortunately I am on Mac( Liked the visuals, and character design though.

There seem to be some collision issue and also the floaty jump. Great job nonetheless!
YESS!!! Fellowing gaming dad her ( 4 daughters at home ), this was very well done. I loved the music reminded me of the kill bill soundtrack and the gameplay. Great job on pacing, I originally thought it was easy at first then the level design slowly became more intricate! It also went well with the theme.
Side note if you get a chance, please check out my submission "Beatdown Breakdown Boomtastic". Would appreciate a rating and hearing your feedback! The funny thing is there is a glitch in the game if the user presses restart too many times while it is restarting, and causes the game to play a bit like yours! ( multiple characters are spawned still following the same input ). It's something that has come up as an error while I was developing multiplayer games. Glad to see someone made a mechanic out of it!
Hey JohnyJacques,
Thank you for reviewing my game and noting music and gameplay) Nice comparison with Mr. Tarantino))))
Unfortunately I am on Mac and could not play your game(

PS. I can't imagine how is it with 4 kids.... ) and you still manage to produce creative work. Well done!

Yes we were working on a Windows machine and couldn't get the Mac build ready in time, though we did do a screen recording and here's a Google drive link to a Mac build posted after. It did have some updates but only visual / bug fix so the gameplay should still be the same if you want to rate on the page after playing: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T6xTWaCEfAc5lv2dsWHoN7OFviSMcOCT/view?usp=shari...
Nice simple platformer. The use of collision layers/groups as a puzzle element is kinda creative.
Hi, Was about to try your game but unfortunately could not make it run on my Mac(
Looking at screenshots and gifs - I really like characters and color / lights work.
Thanks,

Very fun, i really liked the music and the animation when reaching the objective.
Ha, great game of yours! Just checked and rated it)
Nice story (it actually kept me engaged throughout the whole experience) - I like different flames character - nice little detail which actually creates a feel. Nice level design work. As I write in my postmortem here https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/topic/1231056/yin-and-yang-in-search-of-harmony-l... I really struggled with level design myself. So after this jam I started to appreciate level design work)
Check the post - maybe you will find some value for your gamed journey.

Really fun platformer! Music was great too! It seems to start playing again when you beat the game though. Overall well made game!
thank you. Thanks for letting me know. I did notice it too. But already after submission and after deadline of course. I will review your game too.
The audio was awesome. How did you make it?
hi, music was written and recorded by me and my Fender Stratocaster. Sounds (like jumping sounds and finish sounds) are just me and microphone (actually iPhone EarPods...)
PS. I literally wrote this in the last hour before submission... happy I managed on time)
Hi,
Also checked your game. Impressed with innovative concept being so polished. Controls are smooth and all visuals, and sounds supports the feel. Nice tutorial work too!
It only felt too hard for me even already on tutorial - but maybe it is just me)

I like the mechanic, it seems to be inspired by The Dreadful Whispers, by Blackthornprod. I really like how they were implemented, and it is really fun to try and find the path controlling both characters with the same controls. If fleshed out and polished, it could be a neat little puzzle game! Great job!
Ha, thank you for this comparison (even if it is not one))
I actually did not play Noa's Whispers but checked trailer now - indeed his (much cutier) characters remind my Yin and Yang here)

Great game, loved the idea. Level design & game play mechanics on top. Only lacking in terms of options as in the ability to turn sound down/off or a back to menu button (with saved progress).
Hi, SirVolpix!
First of: thanks for reporting the suggestion
Was eager to try your game cause I am not even to Bee games)) (my submission to blackthorn prod jam was "Greedy Honeypot in Rock" game))
Unfortunately I am on Mac so could not run it(

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.
