Sumea makes some of the best platformers on the market, but it seems to recycle a good portion of code and graphical elements from game to game. Yo-Yo Fighter closely resembles several of its previous games--namely, Zoy's Rescue Mission and Santa's Rush Hour.

Your hero in Yo-Yo Fighter is named Yozo, appropriately enough. He and his friends were transported trough a mysterious portal into a World of Stone. Yozo's quest is to find his friends, using only his trusty yo-yo for self-defense. When enemies--such as bats, golems, or robots--are close enough, your yo-yo automatically targets them. Pressing 5 will send the spinning disk of death on its way. You can never miss, so the game is very easy in this respect.

Along the way, you can collect more energy and some nice bonus items, like rocket sneakers for flying. There are 17 levels, but some of them are exceedingly quick. Twice you encounter a boss monster: a large stone golem that can take a severe beating before giving up the ghost.
