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)
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.

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...
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,

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.

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)

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)

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.
