Reception
At the time of its release, most critics thought of Yoshi's Universal Gravitation as a mediocre title. Craig Harris of IGN said the game was too short, and most critics thought the other Game Boy Advance game to use a tilt sensor (WarioWare: Twisted!) was a better example of tilt-sensing technology in video games.
Another point that is often criticized is that due to the tilt-sensor and its orientation the game can only be comfortably played on the original Game Boy Advance, while it is confusing mirrored on the Game Boy Advance SP and not playable at all on the Game Boy Player. However, the game includes a menu screen at startup in which the player can select the handeld system they are using: either the original Game Boy Advance in which the cartridge gets inserted in the top of the system, or the Game Boy Advance SP, Game Boy Micro or Nintendo DS which features a bottom loading slot to insert the cartridge. This eliminates mirrored tilt sensing so the game can be played on any of those handheld devices. The player can also re-calibrate the tilt sensor to fit whichever game system they use.
