    Almost everything in this bundle is golden. Anodyne 2 and Sephonie have the potential to rewire your brain chemistry (also buy Angeline Era!). Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom is incredibly creative. Cavern of Dreams is just chill and charming, and Pumpkin Jack is like the spiritual successor to MediEvil.

    I'm enjoying Demon Tides so far. I think it sits comfortably alongside its predecessor, Corn Kidz 64, Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom, and Lunistice as one of the strongest indie 3D platformers.

    Want some collectathons that experiment with less conventional movement options? There's "Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom" and the upcoming "Slime 64". Want something that experiments with how you interact with the environment? There's upcoming games like "PaperKlay" and "Ruffy and the Riverside". (6/8)

    It breaks my heart this one kinda went under the radar. YTGV is for collectathons what Shovel Knight was for 2D platformers: a distinctly and authentically retro game that is also very modern in all the right places. Please give it a chance.

    I'm a little sad that Clover Pit is the game by Panik Arcade/Matt Godwarf to be a breakout hit, when Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom and Project Starship X flew under the radar. Check those out if juicy, chaotic games (3D platformer and roguelike shmup respectively) are your thing more than gambling.

    Maaan, this is one of the toughest negative reviews I've ever given. I played the demo a couple years back and absolutely loved it. But the more I dove into the full game, the more it frustrated me by the end. I think the biggest stickler is that the game got needlessly stressful. Particularly with how it handles coins. These breadcrumb collectables don't respawn. (Well, they do, but as these *ghost* coins that don't add to your total.) That'd be fine I guess, but... You lose money every…

    Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom is a collectathon 3D platformer without a jump button. It is both very smart (in its level design and structure), and incredibly dumb (in its humor), and both sides of that are very enjoyable. Great music, too, and it's well worth going for 100% as it saves the best for last.

    Rather than dwelling on Sega ruining Crazy Taxi with AI art, I will instead plug Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom. Insanely underrated indie that could scratch the same itch Its a combination between Crazy Taxi and a Mario 64-type collectathon. What I’ve played so far has been insanely fun

    The gameplay is decently unique and quite good. The only negative aspect of the game (so far) is the Reddit tier/millennial dialogue and writing. Luckily, reading isn't necessary because most of it is flavor text and the small portion that isn't is accompanied by visual information that gives you an idea of what you need to do. Overall, I'd say the game is a solid 8.5 out of 10. Edit: After getting 100%, I can confidently say that you don't need to read the text. Just make sure you interact…

    What a disappointment. Its novel, being a collectathon without a jump button. It can be fun at times using the boost and stall "jump" ability. At times the jump and be finnicky, and for some reason backflip makes you go higher, which can be annoying. Theres a lot of different worlds, but its annoying because you have secret levels in those worlds that also give you collectibles, but it can be hard to find them and know what gives you real or fake gears.

    Brutally funless. Mechanics and physics are awful. The physics can get very inconsistent and the movement is not tight. There's a mechanic where you jump higher if you jump backwards and it is into the camera, because the camera is fixed. It is there to make the game harder, but it doesn't, it just makes it more annoying to play. The humor is a total swing and a miss, by a mile. The absurdity that the game tries to achieve through the story and the level design falls flat. There's a…
