Yooka-Laylee

Yooka-Laylee for PC, PS4 and etc. is a 3D platformer developed by Playtonic Games, a studio created by the devs who were responsible for Rare’s biggest hits. Steve Mayles, responsible for character design in the games like Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country, had the same role in Yooka-Laylee’s development. The game’s soundtrack was composed by David Wise and Grant Kirkhope, composers for both of the aforementioned series. Gavin Price, the man responsible for Viva Piniata and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts ‘n Bolts, took the role of the lead designer for the Playtonic Games’ newest production. The game’s title is a combination of the main characters' names.

Mechanics

Yooka is a chameleon that has an unusually long tongue. It can be used to grab onto various surfaces, which allows him to cover large distances. The principle is similar to a grappling hook from many other games. Laylee is a lady-bat who can use sonic attacks. She can also carry Yooka over short distances.
