Since the GMTK jam I work on this game in my free time and hopefully will get a full release sometime next year. I’ll post more updated versions of the game during the developement to try out and get feedback.

Gmtk Jam 2021
Hi everyone!

Gmtk Jam 2020
So much has happened since the United Game Jam 2020 and the intense 48h that saw this game come to life more than a month ago. Since then, I participated in the GMTK Jam 2020 which proved itself super challenging (check out my entry here). I then spent sometime finalising my first mobile game release which is now out on the Google Play Store (download for free here).
After all this turmoil. I've finally had the chance to come back to Yin & Yang and give it a little bit more love. From the feedback I got on the jam's ratings, the main experience didn't seem to need too much tweaking, so I focused on adding more levels and polishing the overall difficulty curve. I learnt that designing puzzles is freakin' hard! I tried to come up with ways to maximise the gameplay elements already in place rather than introducing new ones, and each level is meant to teach the player something important about the mechanics. Hopefully I succeeded!
Let me know in the comments if you have any feedback, I'd love to hear your thoughts, and thanks again for playing!
