General Commentary and Game Overview
This is not a game for the faint of skill or those who give up easily. That said, this has the feel of a real Yoshi's Island game and is superb overall.
 
Pros -Has the feel of a real Yoshi's Island game.
-It has a story. Cutscenes, even!
-One of the best final boss fights I've had in a long time.
-Excellent ending.
-No annoying baby to take care of.
 
Cons -Not enough levels.
-No voice sampling, or even the "blip-bloo!" sound effect from SMW.
-You can't move while aiming eggs
 
Impressions
Gameplay
9 / 10
You can't move while aiming eggs, but that shouldn't be much of a problem because all you really have to do is click to fire the egg, it only stops you moving if you hold down the mouse button.
Other than that, it feels like a real yoshi's island game, right down to the flutter jump. No annoying baby to take care of, either!
 
Graphics
9 / 10
They were all made from scratch in Photoshop. He's no expert spriter, but for something made from scratch in what's (probably) only slightly better than Paint for doing anything other than editing pre-existing photos, these are excellent.
 
Sound
6 / 10
Lackluster is the best way to describe this aspect of the game. No memorable tracks, and for some reason the ending cut-scene is done with the Wii Sports theme. Also, the sound effects are totally minimal.
 
Replay
7 / 10
I doubt I'll play the whole thing again, but it keeps a save file with a level select screen and the final boss is excellent enough to go back to.
 
Final Words
9 / 10
A short challenging game. If you have the skill to handle it, you should NOT pass this up.
