GM Edge

Few games in the GM world can go past the plain platformer or top-down shooter and make itself stand out from the crowd. Yum Yum by Derby does just that. What is the point of Yum Yum? You play as the last White Yum Yum. Other creatures want Yum Yum dead. You must simply survive in the world as a Yum Yum. Yum Yum is a top-down shooting game with a bit more to it. The entire game screams ambiance similar to games like LocoRoco for the PSP. The graphics, music, and gameplay flows smoothly together.

Arcade play at it’s finest.

The graphics are simple shades of red with some other colors, with no outline. Everything fits together and nothing clashes. The sound is great too, with an almost constant change of tracks, all of which fit with the entire feel of the game. The idea of Yum Yum is launching your head at enemies to destroy them. It seems simple, but the new enemies and bosses keep it all fresh. The arcade style of the game keeps you coming back for more. The default control scheme may be hard to handle, but you can change it to a much simpler setting.

The well-presented menu.

It is a short game, though. But a good short. A short like, you want more, you want another taste. That’s what keeps you coming back to play. It’s definitely challenging at first, but once you get the hang of everything the game gets a lot more fun. Online arcade play is another great feature. You can chat and more.

It’s also a small game; there isn’t much in it. The simple game itself, but not much more. But, there isn’t too little to dislike it. It almost seems like there isn’t enough for it’s own good. The originality of the game is unmatched, and it’s all presented well. Although there isn’t much in the game, there was obviously a lot of work put into it, not too much, and not too little. One great experience that meshes together wonderfully.
