General Commentary and Game Overview

This game has been the first of yoshimaster's. And he decided to touch it up a bit for a new "gold" edition. Its pretty good, but the engine should have at least another month on testing.

Pros	Neat little graphics, New yoshi sprite, static engine.
Cons	Static engine does NOT support ramping(going up on slopes), and you can not jump on top of enemies to destroy them. Lackluster controls.

Impressions

Gameplay 6 / 10	Gameplay is a lackluster for the game. F for jumping? What happened to shift and ctrl? That means Poor control. And the static engine is not capable of going up slopes. This nuisance has been around in many new games. The egg throw is OK, but its too easy to aim at your enemies. And a bit more additions to the game, just has hovering, ground pound, and that good-ol' swallow enemy to an egg move, then the game would have been more playable.
Graphics 7 / 10	Graphics are original. They are highly impressive, and could quite possibly match with yoshi's island sprite. Altough the level design is OK, but could be more interactive and creative. And the dire dire docks is not finished.
Sound 5 / 10	Sound is pretty decent. Altough they dont quite match the level itself. The sound is traditional.
Replay 2 / 10	Replay is poor here and there. You will play the game a couple of times to get you unbored or look at the GFX, but its straight to the recycle bin after.

Final Words

Yoshi's quest was the first game by yoshimaster. Now he decided as a little celebration to make a gold version of it... Its neat but it has some major bugs to fix out.
