A 3D platformer without a jump button is a really neat idea in concept… luckily in practice it was also very engaging! You drive around as the titular Yellow Taxi launching yourself off ramps and cliffs to collect as many green gears as you can to keep unlocking new stages. It definitely has the collectathon feel, each stage is full of the important progression collectables as well as some optional or less important ones so it always feels like you are making progress (though sometimes it can be a bit obtuse). There are even levels that add in a Crazy Taxi like mechanic where you are on the clock and need to drive people around to raise the time you have in the stage, all while finding the collectibles. Sometimes the game is a bit too lofty in its ideas and the controls/camera can’t hold up but all in all it’s a really solid unique game in the genre.

Very sweet game. Has a very unique and fun humor to it, and the platforming is very well tuned. There are some moments that I felt a little frustration, specifically with the larger areas. But overall this is a great collectathon. I wish it kinda had less stuff - I'm generally against the movement to have more collectables ala Super Mario Odyssey because it ruins the value of a collectable. The amount of gears in this game (and how easy it is to find them) creates a feeling that they are worth a little less. I kinda wish more gears were tied to doing specific tasks rather than doing a speck of difficult platforming in order to offset this feeling. It's still a great game though, with gorgeous visual style and wonderful music/sound design.

When i first heard of this game, i thought it was kinda stupid! A platformer without jumping sounded like something that would get really old really fast, but goddamnit this game is so much fun. While you can’t jump, you can perform a dash, and that dash feels so satisfying. Nearly every level is designed to utilize the dash and its quirks to the fullest. Finding all the collectables in each level was a challenge, but it was totally worth it. It took me around 15 hours to 100% (all steam achievements), and overall i really enjoyed my time with this game. If you love your 3D platformers, i highly recommend checking out Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom.

Very fun and addictive 3D Platformer that is clearly a love letter to gaming as a whole.

This game is all about the game, and the game is fun. Movement is solid, there’s a simple but satisfying inertia system that is the core of the entire game.

The collectibles feel very unique. I don’t think I’ve played a collectathon that feels this rapid fire. Aside from getting some hidden collectibles, every level is 5-15 minutes long of back to back objectives. This fast paced gameplay sets itself apart from other 3D collectathons.

The challenge is decent, there’s some slightly tricky things at the end but I do feel as though I wanted more.

My biggest complaint with the game is how overly useful the double backflip is. I kinda wish you could front flip, just so I didn’t have to constantly be back flipping to get over obstacles.

The visuals, music, and characters/humor is all really great, and is simply there to add to the fun.

This game understands what it means to be a video game, great time overall.

Really neat concept for a 3D-Platformer. It's a brave move, leaving out a jump button. So the level design has to to be very presice, so the two buttons of moving forward and doing a dash can make up to it. But the movement works really well with even little mechanics like canceling the dash which results in kind of a backwords bump that can be used for platforming. Also the presentation is pretty good. The game has gorgeous N64-like visuals and a soundtrack that really pushes you forward. Later levels tend to be a bite to wide. I preffered the more compact and focused areas a bit more.
