The pinball mechanics work perfectly within the game. However, this game isn’t purely about delivering mail as Yoku will find himself quite deep into his adventure before long, where he must rally the major three inhabitants and help save Mokumana Island.

You will later get given new tasks, such as delivering special parcels to certain people and also helping out fellow villagers who have found themselves in danger. Once you get into the Village you are given your official task – collect the mail and post it in all of the post boxes you see lying around the island. It can be used to wake people up, smash objects (with the sound I guess) and destroy bushes. You make your way to the Village, using the rather unique pinball mechanics (luckily we have this ball we are attached to, otherwise this would be impossible), helping out a few strangers along the way and collecting lots of fruit and even a weapon! Well, I say a ‘weapon’, it’s a party blower. Personally, the way the old Postmaster was in a rush to leave, it all felt a little fishy… He has been appointed the new Postmaster of a faraway island, the island which is soon going to become the source of his big adventure! Upon landing on the beach (he sailed here on his ball), he meets the old Postmaster and received his first quest – go give the Postal Badge back to the Translator in the Village. Don’t ask – I’ve not figured out why this is the case yet either. Our protagonist, Yoku, is a small beetle-like insect who constantly rolls around a ball that is attached to him. There we are, a little bug on our big ball.
