Yoku arrives on the tropical island of Mokumana hoping for an easy life delivering parcels, only to find that the island's ancient deity is caught in a troubled slumber. He becomes the local postman, rebuilds the post office and travels about by being flipped and bumped around like a pinball, mixing pinball mechanics with platforming and exploration.
The hand-painted island is non-linear, with several questlines that can be tackled in any order you like. The tone is bright and playful, and the pinball-platformer idea gives it a distinct feel. It is single-player with full controller support, and it suits players who enjoy colourful exploration games built around an unusual mechanic.
