Yin & Yang (NamidaSai)

Yin & Yang. Light & Dark. Two forces try to reach a fragile harmony.

In this 2D puzzle game, you control two characters at once: Yin and Yang. With space-like physics that give you very little control, influence the two entities to come as close to each other as possible, without casting their light upon one another.

This game was made all by my lonesome in 48H for the United Game Jam 2020.  The theme for the jam was "Two." 

With Yin & Yang, I wanted to dive into a mechanic where, like the symbol, two characters have to work together without killing each other, always keeping the balance intact. The theme would be represented by the 2-character mechanic, but also with two lights, two areas, etc. 

In the end, I could not go with a full Black & White art direction as the renderer I chose to use was not able to cast a dark, negative light which would dim the other bright light (or at least, I couldn't figure that part out). However with a little digging and rearranging, I think the paper art style goes well and allows for better clarity in the gameplay.

Started learning game development 3 months ago, this is my second released game and first game jam.  It was an incredible experience, and I hope you enjoy the game at least half as much as I enjoyed making it.

Thanks!
