App Description

***** Instructions *****

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 Yin and Yang, Taijitu is a puzzle game about balance and harmony. The goal is to interchange shape colors and achieve color balance on each side. The white line separates each different world by top and bottom or left and right. This puzzle game combines 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 separate things. The nature of Yin Yang lies in the interchange and interplay of the two components. The alternation of day and night is such an example.
