Yin: A Game About Happiness
Yin: A Game About Happiness is an exploration platformer. It is set in a cute, geometrical world. The goal is to make Yin happy, but it is all up to you what you do.
The theme is worked into the game that every ten seconds Yin loves a new thing.
Instructions:

SO CUTE :D
Sometimes dying causes it to glitch out (e.g. getting stuck in floors)

It's impossible to play this game and not smile. I had a huge grin on my face throughout the entire thing. The controls were good, the graphics cute, and the music the cutest of all (tied with the jump sounds!).
I got a little concerned when jumping in the water made me die (I thought Yin liked water?). But then I realised I was jumping on a turtle I couldn't see, and everything was right with the world again. Perhaps a little more view range would be nice though.
It doesn't have the best graphics of LD, nor the best music, sound, or levels. But the mood is so perfect that this game will be the one I remember. Well done.

Put a smile on my face. I just couldn't see the theme and maybe put a better sense of progression and idea what you have to do? :)

This is the cutest game I have ever played.

Nice game ! I wished there was a minimum level of happiness to go on the next level but it's allright there is a happy end :D

Adorable.
Reminds me of Paper Mario a tiny bit.

Cute and refreshing. Didn't see much relation to the theme, but I'm happy nonetheless :p

Very good graphics and music, but the gameplay is a little bit too poor.

This is super cute, but could have more gameplay and be more focused on the theme. Congratulations

This is a very happy game. :)
I'd like the to be a bit more depth to it (there's not much penalty for not making Yin happy, and the reward is that...Yin is happy) but I'm not sure how much that matters in the end. This is a game about happiness, not competition or challenge.

In the world of Ludum Dare, so often full of danger, angst and loneliness, it's good to see a game that's so unashamedly *happy*. Nice one!

Yeah, I'd love to see this expanded into a more complex "toy", so that things happen more often and there's more stuff to do in general. Very pretty though, good job!

Nice game, I liked the graphics!!

Well that was a strange game. For adults I mean. It would be a great game for kids I'm sure! I made it to the end alive :D A bit boring for me, but I get what you were aiming for.

Dear lord, it's like Kirby got high and made a video game.
Well done, but I feel like it needs some kind of happyometer so you can keep track of your score while you're playing.
