It looks wheelie good
The name might suggest that you should expect something like that other big yellow taxi game,Crazy Taxi, but Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom is much more like a platformer, in which you flip, dash and hit ramps and bouncy scenery to toss yourself around colourful, Nintendo 64-style levels to collect coins and treasure.
By “Nintendo 64-style”, itsSteam pagemakes clear they’re thinking of yer Donkey Kongs and Banjo-Kazooies. “We took ‘collectathon’ seriously! Make your way to the most obscure and difficult to reach corners of our hand-crafted retro levels and we made sure there’s something there for you to collect!”
Whether I get on with Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom will depend entirely on how its physics feel to control and how difficult its levels are. I can probably find out the answer to both by downloading the demo available from its Steam page right now, but I am enjoying this moment where I can just bask in its bright screenshots and stylish trailer and imagine its everything I want it to be. Maybe I’ll just stay blissfully obvlivous like this until its release next month.
