About Yoku's Island Express
Yoku's Island Express is a pinball adventure developed by Villa Gorilla and published by Team17. Steam release date: 29 May 2018.
Yoku the dung beetle arrives on Mokumana island to take over as postmaster, only to find an ancient island deity trapped in a restless sleep. Instead of jumping, you move Yoku and the ball he pushes with flippers and bumpers placed throughout the world, so the whole island works like a giant interconnected pinball table. Explore beaches, jungles, snowy peaks, caves and hot springs, deliver mail, help the quirky locals with their questlines and earn abilities that open new routes. The game won the BAFTA for Debut Game.

Related Games
Yoku's hand-painted island and its web of unlockable routes share a lot with Ori and the Will of the Wisps, whose glowing forests and fluid movement make exploration feel just as effortless and beautiful. Hollow Knight offers the same pleasure of a map that slowly opens up as you gain new abilities, though its underground kingdom is darker and its fights far tougher. Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is a good pick if you enjoy the physics-driven puzzles here, a storybook platformer where three heroes combine their skills to cross painted fairy-tale worlds. And Crypt Custodian brings a similarly cute hero and a cosy, lighthearted tone to a top-down adventure about tidying up the afterlife.
