General Commentary and Game Overview
Four Yoshis, enemies of each other, have found a few tank transformations. As they were enemies of each other for about decades, they decided to do a war against each other by using these tank transformations. They have also decided that whoever wins the war shall claim the current area they are in.

So, who is going to claim the most areas? That might be depending on the way you pay, but I bet you are wondering if this is worthy enough to play. So let's review, shall we?

Impressions
Gameplay
8 / 10
The gameplay is good, and I love the idea. You control a Yoshi tank, that can fire shots. You can aim, and set the power. The more power you have, the further your shots will go. Though, the highest power you can have is your health. This isn't too bad, unless you are low on health, which means that you might not able to win. Anyway, your Yoshi tank will be destroyed if you have either ran out of health, or you have fell into a pitfall of FIRE (really, the Yoshi tanks explode when they fall into a pitfall)! There is four Yoshi tanks, which can be either controlled by a human, the AI, or you can leave them out (which makes it possible for a three-player or two-player battle).

There are powerups, which are trapped inside bubbles. If you shoot at them, then an effect is caused on either you or your shot. They are all well-made and useful. Though, I found a couple to be a bit overpowered. The ones I find to be overpowered, are the Bob-Omb powerup (which makes an big explosion as soon as it hits something. It's not very overpowered, but I've noticed that it can destroy a Yoshi tank at the first turn), and the lighting powerup (which makes the shots rip through the ground like a drill. This can make it possible to create a hole below a Yoshi tank, which will destroy that Yoshi tank, unless he/she has a P-Balloon). Thankfully, you can disable and enable any powerups, so you can disable the overpowered ones if you want to or not.

There are four stages, all of which have a different theme. The layout of these are randomly generated, and they are based off the theme of the level. I find the stage generator to be very good, and I have no complainants with it.

I haven't found any bugs in the game so far, expect that sometimes your shots will go through your enemy Yoshi tanks.
 
Graphics
5 / 10
The graphics are pretty much what you would expect in a Hello game, SMB3 graphics. Really, SMB3 graphics are really overused! Hello, I bet there is a lot of good alternate graphic sets out there. Some of the graphics look custom, like the Yoshi tanks, for example.
 
Sound
7 / 10
Oh man, I love the music! I don't think they are overused, and they sound very pretty. Fighting those Yoshi tanks felt so good with the music that is playing. All of the music tracks are from the Yoshi games, I believe.

Sounds are nice, but I have noticed some of these are those overused SMAS sound effects. Also, the sounds may be a bit repetitive after some time.
 
Replay
7 / 10
Sometimes, I'll play this again just to pass some time. It's quite entertaining, so I'll probably be never bored of this game (even though, there is some games that I'd rather play over this). Though, there is nothing else in the game. It be nice if you have included some collectables or unlockable stages.
 
Final Words
8 / 10
If you are here for some explosions and tanks, then this is the game for you!
