Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom already has a descriptive name, but its new trailer omits it in favour of a better encapsulation of its pitch: âYouâre a N64 taxi and thereâs no jump button?â. The video itself is sixty seconds of pure, colourful joy, and it ends on a release date: April 9th.
The name might suggest that you should expect something like that other big yellow taxi game, Crazy Taxi, but Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom is much more like a platformer, in which you flip, dash and hit ramps and bouncy scenery to toss yourself around colourful, Nintendo 64-style levels to collect coins and treasure.
By âNintendo 64-styleâ, its Steam page makes clear theyâre thinking of yer Donkey Kongs and Banjo-Kazooies. âWe took âcollectathonâ seriously! Make your way to the most obscure and difficult to reach corners of our hand-crafted retro levels and we made sure thereâs something there for you to collect!â
Youâll also meet characters including âPizza King, Morio and Ultra Chad.â Hmm.
Whether I get on with Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom will depend entirely on how its physics feel to control and how difficult its levels are. I can probably find out the answer to both by downloading the demo available from its Steam page right now, but I am enjoying this moment where I can just bask in its bright screenshots and stylish trailer and imagine its everything I want it to be. Maybe Iâll just stay blissfully obvlivous like this until its release next month.
