YOYOZO

Now available on Playdate Catalog! https://play.date/games/yoyozo/

You control a space yoyo—a small ring-shaped spaceship that is attached to a larger ball by an elastic beam. By moving the ring you stretch the elastic and can gracefully guide the ball in a cosmic ballet.

Your task? Grab the stars, one by one, in order. Easy. And there's more! Once you get the hang of things, you'll uncover additional layers of depth in the gameplay and scoring systems. In no time at all you'll be pulling off fancy moves at high speed—pro style! To reach the top of the leaderboard you'll need speed, skill, and strategy.

Are you ready to become the ultimate YOYOZO pilot? The stars are waiting, and it's your time to shine!
