Description
Puzzle game featuring Yoshi and Mario stacking cookie blocks to form rows. Published by Nintendo, released in Japan in 1992. Yoshi and Mario aligning colorful cookies on a grid. Japanese version of Nintendo's Yoshi's Cookie on Famicom.
A puzzle from Nintendo, Yoshi's Cookie rests on an elegant principle: lining up identical cookies in complete rows and columns to make them disappear, by sliding whole lines of the grid. This sliding mechanic, simple to grasp but subtle to master, generates a rising tension and an addictive pleasure, especially lively in versus with Yoshi appearing. The colourful presentation and the clarity stay exemplary. For a fan of classic puzzling or someone curious about Nintendo productions, the title keeps an intact effectiveness and charm.
