by Rainier on May 1, 2018 @ 6:00 a.m. PDT

Yoku's Island Express is an open world/metroidvania-style pinball adventure, seamlessly blending platform navigation with pinball mechanics across a large open world.

Meet our hero Yoku the Dung Beetle who has arrived on Mokumana Island to relieve the resident pterodactyl postmaster of his duties. He’s ready for the easy life, soaking up the sun and delivering parcels on a tropical paradise!

However, he’ll quickly discover that an ancient Island deity is trapped in a restless sleep, and a host of colourful, quirky islanders are plagued by quakes and storms brought forth by its nightmares. It’s all down to Yoku to traverse the island using a unique blend of pinball mechanics and open world exploration, in an amazing quest to help those in need!

Flip and bump our pint-sized protagonist around the stunning hand-painted island on your quest to rebuild the post-office, discover the mystery of the Fruit Altar, and wake an old god from its deep slumber.

The newly released trailer shows off the story of Yoku, how he arrives on Mokumana Island ready for the easy life soaking up the sun and delivering parcels on a tropical paradise in his new role of postmaster.

However, all is not as peaceful as it seems. The God Slayer has risen again and has plagued the ancient island deity, Mokuma, and now it’s all down to our pint-sized postman to save the day using a unique blend of pinball mechanics, platforming and open world exploration, in an amazing adventure to help those in need!
