## What is Yoku's Island Express?

In Yoku's Island Express, you control a Dung Beetle named Yoku, seen on the thumbnail art, that holds a ball attached to him in a video-game that is concerned as an "Open-World Pinball Playground" by the developers. Yoku is located in the fictional island called "Mokumana" along with others. The game is single-player only. In the game, Yoku goes around collecting fruits and collecting post-quests to complete his mission to be the best 'postmaster' ever after Posterodactyl retires.

It was released worldwide on the 29th of May, 2018 (29/05/2018 or 05/29/2018) and has branched across multiple platforms, including; Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Store, Playstation 4 and Steam.

## How was the development?

Jens Andersson and Mattias Snygg founded "Villa Gorilla" in Stockholm, Sweden, 2013. They eventually decided they wanted to create a game in one year, and so they did.

They wanted to make the theme of the game "about a ball", since they didn't have an animator. They called the game an "Open-World Pinball Game" afterwards.

The game was announced on the 20th of February, 2017 and a few months later it was revealed Team17 would be the game's publisher. Afterwards, it was released worldwide.

As seen to the left is Yoku. Yoku cannot jump, this is why he used a ball to get himself around with 'boosting pin-ball machines' scattered across the map.
