Yossy No Tamago—or as most of us know it, the Japanese version of Yoshi's Cookie—is one of those weird little puzzle games that somehow sticks with you. You’re sliding rows of cookies around, trying to match flavors in lines to clear the board. Sounds simple, but the later levels get brutal. The music’s got that classic Game Boy charm, all bouncy and repetitive in the best way.
First time I played, I thought it’d be a cakewalk. Then the grid started filling up with jam-filled monstrosities, and suddenly I’m sweating over whether to prioritize horizontal or vertical matches. Pro tip: diagonal clears are your friend, but good luck setting them up when the board’s packed.
It’s not as flashy as Tetris, but there’s something satisfying about watching a whole row of star cookies vanish at once. Just don’t blame me when you hear the theme song in your dreams.
