Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is a 2.5D platforming adventure starring the buddy duo Yooka and Laylee. Their nemesis Capital B plans to use a “Hivemind” device to enslave an entire kingdom of bees, so the pair must take the fight to his Impossible Lair. Queen Phoebee and her Royal Beetallion may give them a chance to stop him.

Platforming levels

You guide Yooka and Laylee through 2.5D levels filled with detailed environments and colourful characters, both good and bad. Each level also has an alternate state: switches in the overworld can change its landscape by connecting electricity, flooding it, freezing it or turning it upside down, creating a different challenge.

The 3D overworld

The 3D overworld is more than a hub between levels. You explore it, complete objectives and puzzles to unlock more 2D levels, rescue Royal Beetallion bees and find collectibles. The bees you rescue help defend you against Capital B’s traps in the Impossible Lair.

Tonics and the lair

More than 60 Tonics modify gameplay or unlock environmental and visual effects. They include infinite rolling, harder enemies and super speed. You can attempt Capital B’s Impossible Lair at any time, but the Royal Beetallion’s help may be needed to face its traps.
