Yooka, Laylee And The Impossible Lair
Infulence
From one screenshot, it’s clear that Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. They are heavily influenced by classic mascot platformers.
In fact, Playtonic Games is made up of former Rare employees who worked on GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark. As well as mascot platformers like Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country.
The 2017 platformer Yooka-Laylee attempted to reinvigorate the 3D mascot platformer genre. But received mixed reviews. The Impossible Lair takes the characters in a different direction. More like Donkey Kong Country than Banjo-Kazooie.
The Impossible Lair’s Plot
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair has a very simple plot. The game is set for a fantasy world where players control Yooka. A lizard, and Laylee, a bat.
One of the main characters, Capital B, uses a “Hivemind” device to wreck havoc on the Royal Stingdom. Queen Phoebee’s Royal Beettalion Guards need to be rescued. As well as Capital B must be stopped in his Impossible Lair.
Playing Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is primarily a 2D platformer. Players control Yooka and Laylee simultaneously. As well as can jump, swim, climb vines, and roll attacks.
In case the player is hit, Laylee will fly around the stage and must be caught. Laylee and Yooka can do a special air attack.
The Impossible Lair’s main gameplay hook is that the final level, the Impossible Lair, is available right away.
In order to earn one extra hit point per rescued Beettalion Guard, players must travel through the game’s other stages.
Players can also use Tonics found in the game’s stages and 3D overworld. Each Tonic can be used up to three times per level. Significantly altering the gameplay.
Some Tonics help the player, like “Thick Skin,” which increases Yooka’s invincibility, and “Slow Mo,”. That slows time at three points in the level.
Some Tonics can harm the player but increase the stage’s Quill Multiplier. Some Tonics, like the “Yooka64” Tonic, give the player new visual options.
