Taijitu: A Game About Balance Screenshot on iOS

The game divides the screen into two sections via a white line, the shapes that appear to be pulsating are the ones you can rotate by tapping on them. Avoid having the same color in two places on one side of the white line so that the colors are equally distributed on both sides.

----- Overview -----

Inspired by the Chinese mythology of the Yin and Yang. Taijitu is a puzzle game about balance and harmony. The goal is to interchange shapes colour and make the colour balance on each side. The white line separate each different world by top and bottom or left and right. This puzzle game combine the art of geometry with beautiful transitions and ambient music. Plug in your earphones and enjoy the experience.

About "Yin Yang"
In Chinese culture, Yin and Yang represent the two opposite principles in nature. "Yin" characterizes the feminine or negative nature of things and "Yang" stands for the masculine or positive side. Yin and Yang are in pairs, such as the moon and the sun, female and male, dark and bright, cold and hot, passive and active, etc. But Yin and Yang are not static or just two separated things. The nature of Yin Yang lies in interchange and interplay of the two components. The alternation of day and night is such an example.

Interesting idea

I like the appearance, and the lack of a timer or points makes it pretty chill, which is nice. But I have no idea what I’m doing. I just click the shapes until I solved the puzzle, and then onto the next. Maybe I’m just lacking the necessary enlightenment...

More relaxation tool than a game.

Appreciated color and ambient sound, but not as captivating as hoped, or told. Like problem solving, but too quickly lost interest between puzzles feeling too simple or too confusing as to how the combinations are evaluated. Simply tapping screen, getting approval, and moving to next puzzle wasn't fulfilling.

First reveiw❕

WOW!

Amazing game, but the instructions on how to play could be clearer. They explain the objectives we'll enough, but not the controls. The shapes that appear to be pulsating are the ones you can rotate by tapping on them. Avoid having the same color in two places on one side of the white line, and you're a winner! It would be even more amazing if they had a voice-over speaking the Chinese words after you finish a round.

Beautiful and relaxing!

The beginning stages were very easy to complete. So easy in fact, I wasn't quite sure what I was doing. It takes a little time to learn the idea of the game which is basically changing colors to their balanced opposite. The sound track is very relaxing. I am hooked!

A must for lovers of puzzle and logic games with the added bonus of beauty and peace.
Kristina is addicted to apps

If you asked anyone who truly knows me who/what I am "computer nerd! but she's brilliant" "she has a serious app addiction" "blah blah blah... because this girl bleeds creativity. Designer, artist, call it what you want." For me to truly enjoy a game, one I can sit down- zone out ( or game on!) and get into play for hour+ periods of time- it has to be aesthetically pleasing, and this knocks that out of the park! I love that it gets the gamer thinking in a way of balance and harmony compared to the places so many other games these days put your mind in. A Lot of key elements of design are woven into the app. In order to complete a level, you have to be in touch with your creativity, ( no matter how little or how much of it you posses) whether you are aware of it or not. PLEASE HOWEVER do NOT MISTAKE my praise for the beauty of this app as to mean THIS IS AN ART APP- IT IS CERTAINLY NOT! This game makes you think about how to solve a unique puzzle. While many puzzle games can get frustrating when answers are not clear or a player gets stuck, the overall effect of playing this game is extremely Calming, similar to two glasses of wine without the chance of confusion and memory loss. I would have rated it five stars without question except that there lacks concise instructions on how to control the blocks of color. I hope after getting feedback, I'm sure many will see this exact problem after playing ( and I definitely recommend downloading this fun new type of logic puzzle), the developers will add clearer instructions in their next update. As for now, it isn't hard to figure out on your own and it's guaranteed to provide you hours of relaxing fun.
