The update releases April 14th. This should be great news for anyone who was put off by the challenge of the Lair, as well as a great excuse for a replay thanks to the 8-bit soundtrack!
We're making some changes to the Impossible Lair! You know, the Lair itself. We wanted to offer players more options for taking on the Impossible Lair while still maintaining a sense of challenge and achievement.
Not So Impossible Lair
Each section now ends with a Checkpoint (Checkmates, technically). Checkpoints save your best "Bee Shield score", meaning you can choose which sections to start from, practice and improve on! Using these checkpoints is entirely optional.
Impossible Lair
No Bee Shield, no Checkpoints! The "Golden Try" Tonic can now be earned this way – no new save file required.
8-BIT SOUNDTRACK
The brilliant Tater-Tot Tunes has composed an entire 8-Bit Soundtrack covering every 2D level in the game. To access it, simply find it in the pause menu once the update is live. If Chiptune is your thing, you're in for a real treat!
Once again, we've teamed up with Materia Collective! This time they're bringing the 8-Bit version of the Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair soundtrack, "Retro Remix", to a music streaming service/store near you! Pre-Save the album on Spotify or Apple Music and have it ready to go for the 14th!
