Yellow Taxi is a silly little collectathon that is a very pleasant and polished experience. The core gimmick of the game, other than you playing as a sentient wind up taxi, is that there is no jump button. this requires you to combo some of your actions in order to get some height, which ends up making for some very fun moments. While the control scheme is simple, a big part of this game is finding the optimal way to string together your moves in order to get the most height or distance possible to reach those difficult to reach collectables. If I had some minor complaints, I think the top down levels are pretty slow and frustrating compared to the rest of the game, and the morio's mind level has a frustrating hazard that gets in the way of traversing the level in any fun way. Otherwise this game was excellent and had me smiling all the way to the end.
