A really well-made though somewhat generic 2D platformer, elevated by a beautiful & impressive art style. The visuals are absolutely timeless, just like the original Yoshi's Island. Good Feel brilliantly weaved the game's unique theming into gameplay mechanics, such as converting Yoshi's eggs into balls of yarn. The controls are very responsive and the level designs are of a very high standard across the board.

The game's biggest flaw is that it wears out its welcome around World 5. I've tried to beat this game many times over the years, and it was only in 2023 that I finally buckled down and beat it. The main culprit for this is overabundance of collectables, as is the case with Yoshi games before and since Woolly World, leaving me burnt out well before rolling credits.
