Very nice! Very simple rules and surprisingly challenging puzzles, even in easy mode.


thanks @dredds.
idk how familiar you are with yinyang puzzles but for anyone playing and struggling, there are a couple of logical tricks that make things easier. A simple search should give plenty of info... the main one is that in yinyang, you cant ever have a 2x2 block that is a checkerboard pattern. Its legal, but not possible. One color couldn't connect without cutting off the other. That trick alone should really help.

Nice puzzles. Easy and medium I did in one go without guessing, then got stumped on the hard problems, and had to make guesses and backtracking for every hard level except one.
I'm probably missing some tricks, I only know about the checkerboard and the 1 or 2 colors continuous external border.


@camp39
I've played a few hundred ying yang puzzles online in the last few month, then came back to your game, and the animation delay now makes the easy and medium batches of levels very frustration to sludge through.
I turned the animations functions speed to the max, and things became pleasant again to breeze through :

but it's not nearly as nice looking as it used to be and button presses still get ignored sometimes when speeding through white borders.
Ideally, the cursor animation and the stones animations should be independent, so you could tap action/action/move in quick series and have a nice trail of stones progressively turning to black then white without the game ever ignoring player input.
If you are interested in adding this to the game but don't have the time, I'm offering to do it.


thanks @RealShadowCaster. go ahead and
be my guest. i think you make a good point. something i never thought of.
