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,

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.
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.

Nice! I like this concept it was fun to play and the puzzles are good!
Hi, thank you.
Tried to check your game but unfortunately could not make it run on my Mac((

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

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.
