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.

Nov. 2024

This game is adorable and I'm terrible at navigating through it, but I'm still having a great time playing. That being said, I won't be 100%-ing it. It requires a level of precision and timing that I just don't have the patience for, particularly with the explosive slugs. After I finished the main story, I wandered a bit, but the things I had to find and collect didn't really have any helpful cues to getting them and repeatedly trying to get the right angle to hop up and get a key is not my idea of a fun time.

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.
