Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom

Okay, having beaten this game, I can say that its charm and movement can really suck you in, and in most instances, it's a great game. However... Sometimes this game is just flat out unfair. It started with a boss chase around the mid-ish point of the game. You're in this maze trying to get around these minions who have a touch of death (you have to instantly restart the three phase fight), and it wouldn't seem so bad except the walls are so high that they can completely obstruct your view. You turn a corner and suddenly you've been caught and have to chase the boss all over again. Then there was the dream level, which has a dude in the center of the map who shoots an instant kill laser at you while you're trying to make precision jumps. The timing of the laser blasts and the positioning of certain ramps mean you need some crazy punctuality if you want to not get killed in the middle of setting up your own jump. Sometimes the laser would clip through a floor or wall, resetting me eve...

This is the GOAT of 3D platforming. The movement in this game is unique and feels good to control. The artstyle and sound design also works great together. The music is also very well made. Even if some of the music tracks feel a little short, it doesn't get annoying after looping since it's such a joy to listen to. Please make a sequel

Absolutely original cute joyful fun. A pixilated pastiche to Sega and Nintendo’s greatest hits yet a wildly original design and composition which readily answers extremely difficult design questions with profound simplicity and ease. Equal parts nostalgic for that digital blue sky of 90’s - 00’s platformers this game utilizes it’s homages to create a comfort and a padding for the rest of the experience to launch itself off of. Mario Odyssey, Crazy Taxi, 3D Sonic games being the largest inspirations by far with Mario Odyssey’s pacing, Mario and Sonic’s core mechanical movement systems which allow for mastery and greater understanding over time, Sonic’s ramp and visceral level design for extreme speed, and Crazy Taxi’s: rapid energy, visual style, and slidey yet predictable momentum. The game combines these into a blender with some secret ingredients of its own resulting in a profoundly original experience that is overflowing with charm and fun ideas. This game manages ...

not into all the reddit humor but the gameplay is the fire in depth 3d platforming i strive for. (besides the laser eyes level)

Weird, light-hearted, and fun. Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom is an unhinged platformer that knows exactly what it wants to be. It doesn't take itself too seriously, but puts in the effort to be a competent and fun platformer. The controls are simple and despite the game's chaotic nature, the taxi handles very predictably. The platforming is forgiving, making the core game accessible to most players while the optional collectables can provide a greater challenge for those who want it. There is ample content and a few laughs to be had. In short, I had fun and thoroughly recommend this game.

Some of the most fun I've had in a game recently, has become one of my favorite 3D platformers. Once you get a grasp of the movement, it is insanely satisfying and fun to pull off. Scratched a Mario Odyssey itch of finding "incorrect" routes and shortcuts to goals. A few annoying/forgettable levels later in the game, but I loved my time with it.

this game is fantastic fun

Mario 64 + Crazy Taxi + ENA Dream BBQ. This game is awesome. Much like Mario 64, the fluidity of movement feels like a legitimate consequence of flexible tools in great physics engine rather than a bunch of hard-coded movement options that feel like you're playing on rails. Everything feels tight and responsive. Humor is great. Fun and iconic art style reminiscent of the era in which its muses reside. 10/10, Highly recommend.

TL;DR: A fun, unique platformer with a lot to love. It did a great job of capturing the feeling and aesthetic of playing an N64 game, and I would love to see more of this. The only gripe I have resides with how the game controls overall and centers around being jumpless (normal conventions) - But thats nowhere near enough for me to detract from it, because its just that good.

Super super fun 3D platformer, the controls seem pretty jank in the beginning until you open your third eye and realize it's fluid as hell.
