Opening Snide Remarks: When I first saw this game, I thought it would
be a platformer starring Yoshi. Boy, was I wrong.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: The object of the game is to match up enemies such as
Bloobers and Goombas into pairs, and along the way, match up egg pieces to
hatch a Yoshi. Sandwich enemies between the top and bottom halfs of a shell,
you get extra points. The gameplay is addictive, yet it can get tedious
waiting for a certain piece to fall to clear the level.

Liked: Addictive
Hated: Waiting for the right piece.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: The graphics are pretty decent for Gameboy, and if you
play it on Game Boy Color, you'll get a nice green and red pallete to match
Yoshi. The pieces are easy to tell apart from each other

Liked: Nice Yoshi colors of GBC
Hated: Nothing really

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: Standard cutsey Yoshi stuff. Yoshi makes different
noises depending on how many points you score hatching him. The background
music can get grating though.

Liked: Yoshi!
Hated: Somewhat annoying BGM

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: You have to switch four tiles around to line up
enemies that fall from the top so that you can match pairs. The play control
is pretty solid, as the controls in most puzzlers are. The game design is
good, but many players might not keep at it after a few rounds.

Liked: Solid Controls
Hated: Somewhat tiring game design.

****************************************************************************

Improve: I don't know what they could do to improve the game. Many
other puzzlers are better than this game

RIYL: Tetris, Dr. Mario, Yoshi's Cookie, Tetris Attack, Kirby's Star
Stacker.

****************************************************************************

Final Words: If you manage to find this game, get it only if you are
starved for puzzlers.
