I received a neat e-mail today from the Villa Gorilla team. They just announced Yoku's Island Express, an open-world pinball adventure. I was skeptical by the description but the trailer got me quite excited for something pretty unique.



They are showing the game at GDC in Microsoft's Lobby Bar, Monday-Wednesday of next week if you're going.

I have no idea how they will pull this off, but I was psyched to hear what is one of the most creative concept-ideas I've heard in a LONG time. Can't wait to learn more!

Looks pretty awesome.

I had the idea for a pinball platformer awhile back though, BOO-URNS. Ah well, I have too many ideas anyway, can throw that one out now.

Isn't that sort of like Sonic Spinball?

Seems less like "pinball" and more like a 2D version of Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg. Or some new take on NightSky.

Wow. Looks amazing.

I hated NightSky by the way. This looks like if Toki Tori and Nightsky and Sonic Spinball had a baby.

Came in to the thread skeptical, but the concept is definitely intriguing. Let's hope it's more Metroid Prime Pinball and less Flingsmash!

Which reminds me, I still have to try Mario Pinball Land...

Haha, has anyone done a Roguelike (or at least procedurally generated) pinball game?
