Yellow and Blue is a cooperative game for two players, but you can also play it alone. Yellow and Blue have been separated, it is your task to bring them together again. But you also have to avoid Death, and you have to solve puzzles on your way.
\nWhen you play together with another player, each of you controls one figure. When you play alone, you can switch between Yellow and Blue, either by pressing the keys 1 or 2, or you use the tab key to toggle, or you click/tap the indicator in the header.
\nTo move use the arrow keys or WASD/ZQSD. On a mobile device you swipe in the direction you want to move (anywhere, just the direction counts).
\nCoil subscribers (and other players when they play together with Coil subscribers) get access to four bonus levels.
\nYour times to solve the levels are stored, so you can always try to solve them faster than before.

\nGraphics of the game itself nice, though a bit weird containers around, black -> gradient -> white space at bottom (at least on mobile)

This game is so interesting and fun, it has so many levels and it gets really challenging. Passed the first 12 levels but level 13 was breaking my brain. The graphics are super simple but really work. The music gives it a nice vibe without being annoying. Great job.

It’s a good practice for bonuses to really be “bonus”. There’s a complete game even without Web Monetization. The graphics are simplistic, but the puzzle approach makes for an engaging experience.

I like its simplicity. The game menu it’s simple - yet very readable. I’m comparing the game with Coil subscription and without it and I can tell it’s simple but effective way to give the player info about Web Monetization - if you’re a Subscriber you can get your extra levels right away, if you’re not, you know what you’ll get if you become one. Maybe it’s a good idea to put a Call To Action button, which will say “Support me” or something like that and will be sending the player to the Coil website? But it’s good already - I really like the phrase “exclusively for Coil subscribers” - it’s almost shining there :) Good job.
