This game is some real comfort food especially if you love the hybrid open exploration and pinball fused together. 100% worth to be in your library.

game is really good for kids and for adults im ashamed i bought it on promo but looks like these guys aren't gonna make more games :C ~10h for 100% game doesn't waste time sometimes frustrating, but never too much great ost great level design honestly cant find anything to complain about

A great metroidvania that blends pinball mechanics with 2D side-scrolling, offering a breath of fresh air. You play as Yoku, a small beetle tied to a ball and assigned to deliver mail to the farthest points of the stunning Mokumana Island. The level design is pretty decent. Throughout the game, you encounter quirky characters who assign you missions, urging exploration and gradually unfolding the storyline. There is no real challenge besides discovering new points of the map using flippers and bumpers scattered across it. I can't remember of a major negative point in Yoku's Island Express. The only thing that bothered me is the annoying sound of the horn that is often used in the game.

really fucking fun. has a minor amount of indie jank like poor resolution options and non rebindable controls. very charming visuals and unique gameplay.

Jan. 2024

From the little I have played I can tell you that the game oozes personality, the music slaps and Yoku is the cutest. It's definitely worth getting it and that's coming from someone that doesn't even like pinball. Definitely money well spent! UPDATE: After having finished the game and gotten all of the achievements, my only complaint is traversing. Sometimes it became annoying having to move from one side of the map to the other. Being able to fast travel close to the beelines (the fastest means of transportation in the game) would have been nice. That being said, I still think that the game is worth giving a chance. :)
