LudumData

YinYang by paruthidotexe

[raw]
made by paruthidotexe for LD34 (JAM)
Yin And Yang is a world where you have to change your personality to survive.

Controls : TWO Buttons
A = Yin = Dark colors
D = Yang = Light colors

You will be spawn as yin and started to go down the road, when the color of the floor changes under you, switch to the same color (yin = Dark​, yang = Light​) or you cant survive. Switch between the two personalities with two buttons.

This is initial version made for learning libgdx, box2d and for the ludumdare game jam.Planned for a puzzles but no time for LD34..

You might need JVM for playing this.

Have fun playing

Graphics are nice, the idea is good, whith more work you can do a great game. I got stuck one time because i change the color too late but i guess it was just a respite because i did the change too late ^^

Not too bad, i liked the concept. The abrupt white/black changes are a bit hard on the eyes though (maybe do a slight fade instead?).
Keep up the good work, cheers!

I was expecting some complexity over time.

Also, it would have been cool to have a timer to know how long I've endured.

Good idea, wish we had scoreboard and increasing speed to show who would be best ying/yanger here :)
Gameplay was smooth, you wouldnt be punished if you clicked too late or too early and the random hopping didnt make things more difficulty

A good start, the switching between two colors is a well-worn mechanic, but still an interesting one to work with. However, the game fails to take it beyond a rudimentary level.

Also, the game is very low contrast. Consider making the background the opposite color of the ball and floor.

Nice effort. Looks like there were a few collision issues with the player / blocks. Might be better to have one big collider and then have the actual blocks separate for the aesthetic. Good entry, decent idea - agree scoreboard would be nice! :)

The concept is good but it feels lacking quickly. With some variation in the line or maybe it rolls down various black and white lines and you have to not end in a dead end.

A time score or something should pop up once you fall off to try and reward you. I had to purposefully fall to see if there was a score as well.

Again, I like the concept. A lot you can do with it.

Very nice and simple game!
Maybe adding a score and more variety of platforms would sure make it better.
Well done!

The concept is nice, but it seems you didn't have much time to develop the idea, since it's just black and white alternating forever without any elements to spice it up. :(
