\"Parody\" is a Yoshi\'s Island parody game, where you play as Yoshi jumping on moving platforms trying to kill a giant troll in the background with eggs.

While the general idea was very interesting, the gameplay itself was an unfortunate failure. Movement is choppy, and it\'s too hard to control jumps to land on a platform properly. Also, hitting the troll\'s nose is somewhat dodgy.

The complete lack of music and sound is another major turndown. It\'s something that only takes a few minutes to implement (assuming you already have musics and sounds available, that is), but they can really make a game a whole lot better.

The game fullfills the requirements well: the troll is obviously there, and as an important aspect of game; sinewaves are used to move the platforms; and the titlescreen supposedly changes when you beat level 6. Myself, I couldn\'t be bothered checking last one... The controls and complete silence drove me nuts, so I couldn\'t play it for long enough.

I give this an overall score of (2/5). It could easily have been a (4/5) if the mentioned issues were addressed.
