Your role gets reversed every time you pass the middle of the screen. If you cross over to the right side, you are the defender of the Yin Yang. If you cross to the left side, you need to avoid the aggression of the Yin Yang.

Thank you for submitting this to my stream ! It's a joy to play, very smooth. The only "minor" detail I could see is the balancing (spawning of the crystals seems a bit low for a jam entry). However this is actually compensated by the fact they persist over gameplay, which means you can gradually grind to get them ! Maybe not the best design for a game jam format where most players lose focus after a few minutes, but nonetheless this is a very solid entry. The pixel art is amazing and I'm still confounded by the magic you've used to iterate so smoothly between the black and white, really appreciate this entry. Lovely !
Awesome really happy you enjoyed it and it was a good learning for us to see someone other than the development team play this :D
Will definitely keep the strategy of staying in the middle in mind, and find some way to rewards players for being more "Exlplorative" let's say XD
Welcome ! ^-^ I really enjoyed it, thanks again for making it !
Unique idea, and super addicting! I really like this one, and I love the art style :)
Awesome!!! Thanks :D
I really like the art style for this game, especially the Yin Yang's design
Thanks, really glad you enjoyed it :D
I get the concept, good art style and I think it's one of the most unique from what I've seen, but I wish the pacing of the "dark side" was more balanced, as your character needes to be moving from side to side to get more bullets and most items to them go back to attach on enemies (it could be a "me" problem as well, but I wish the first level started a little slower at least). Good job, tho.
Thanks! Yeah the pacing is difficult to balance in 48 hours, and we scraped our first idea after the first 5 hours so it was even tougher XD
But we are happy with the result and will polish, and release a post-jam version :D
art is awesome. got addicted lol. Great job!
Thanks a lot! Hope you check it out once after the Jam, when we'll release the full version!
I love the aesthetic and sounds! I think this was quite creative and fits well. The mechanics themselves would have been a little more engaging if there was a secondary ability, or if the upgrades could happen during the game. I played a few times and didn't get enough for any skill tree upgrades, but maybe I'm just bad d:
Thanks for playing the game! We had some additional plans, for timed skills, (pressing e to become invulnerable for a few seconds) and stuff like that. But it was not enough time to do that :/ Post jam version will have some more gameplay elements.
And no, you are not bad, the balancing is XD
Fits the theme well
Thanks for playing the game on stream! Fantastic to get direct feedback like that!
Nice gameplay loop, and nice aestethic ! Congratulation to all the team :p ! It's a strong idea !
Super addicting gameplay, the sound effects and screen shake add a lot the experience, and the upgrades encourage you to keep playing.
Thanks! Awesome enjoyed it.
Love the music and concept. Fits the theme in the gameplay itself, rather than just theming it after something that's been flipped which is what most ppl did. Fleshed out this could be really cool.
Thanks, very happy to hear that :) Definitely, we could do more with it once the jam is completely over :)
Nice game mechanics and super fitting visuals! Congratulations! I've loved it
Seeing your game, i think letting the enemies do less damage if they are already hurt would be an improvement, but is not necessary.
Thanks! Also, very good point there are really a lot of balancing improvements we thought of, but didn't have the time to implement.
A good game. I think the concept fits perfectly in the theme and it's really fun. The visuals are amazing too.
Thank you! Happy to hear!
Very well done!! It's a great game. Honestly, if I'm picky, the only thing I have to say is that the prices of the boosts should be in the game, not the description (and they are expensive af xd)
Thanks, it means a lot! Yes, we have a bug xD If you don't have enough gems, it doesn't display the price of boosts. Unfortunately, we realized that too late.
Very fun game, the playable loop fits very well with the theme and I loved the risk-reward. Good job!
Thank you! I am happy you enjoyed it!
I love the game. It is really complete with even a skill tree and tutorial. Had a blast playing it :)
Thank you! I am happy to hear that! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I love the design and the gameplay is very good, but the improvements are very expensive :(
Thanks! Yes, they are too expensive for the gems drop rate. Thank you for pointing that out. It will be fixed in the post-jam dev stage :)
Really Fun Game and Concept !!!! Enjoyed it alot!
Thanks for trying our game!
Really cool, nice level of variety and the art was lovely. Difficulty felt pretty good too although I sometimes got in a hole of having no ammo and not enough spawning, maybe the ammo should spawn more if you are running low?
Thanks for checking out the game! Yeah, some things need to be a bit more polished but the time restraint didn't allow for that. We are definitely eager to add more to the game post-jam.
Great concept and great execution!
Thank you!
Very well-thought out, simple, fun game! I like how the player has to move into an unsafe area to pick up boosts and ammo to be able to defend the yinyang. The binary colors and roles suit the concept in addition to the theme, and the pixel art is charming. Great job!
We are glad you enjoyed our game :) We are really happy with how it turned out.
