Shadowlight Clash is a fighting game that makes use of cards and a turn-based system for combat. This game was made in under 72 hours for the Advanced category of the Winter MelonJam 2024, under the theme polarity. The game has you control two polar opposites; Yin and Yang, with both characters having very different, yet complimentary styles of gameplay.

HOW TO PLAY: 

Use your cards wisely to lead Lady Yin and Lord Yang to victory. You score points by  defeating enemies, and the game ends if either player character is defeated. Aim for a high score! 

But be careful, as your abilities have cooldowns, so plan strategically. 

Lady Yin is agile; she can jump past anything in her way up to 3 tiles ahead. She can also lay down traps to ensnare her enemies.

Lord Yang is the stronger of the two, and can deal powerful melee damage. He also has a dash attack at his disposal—the further he dashes, the more damage he deals.

If Yin and Yang are on the same tile at the end of a round, either one of them will be healed.
