[Solid SOAP]

That looks awesome

 

[Neiteio]

I wonder if we'll get to unfurl the chameleon's tail and use it in some way. Hanging from tree branches, perhaps?

 

[JazzmanZ]

That bat is one shade away from being the one from Anastasia

 

[Lijik]

Those names are the right kind of groan-worthy

 

[Easy_D]

First Kickstarter I back. The wait for the finished game will be rough though :lol.
I'm glad they put it at the end of the month so I know I'll have the money when the kickstarter ends

I like the character design, but I was hoping one of the two would be a girl like Kazooie.

This will still be the first kickstarter I back.

Laylee has a feminine ring to it. The bat could be a grill bat

 

[AdanVC]

Looks so damn nice and fun and 90s and I love it already!

 

[Kandinsky]

I love them, especially the bat <3

Edit: lol at that logo tho, shameless.

 

[SovanJedi]

The characters will grow on me, but Laylee's expressions are absolutely adorable.

The video looked incredible.

If I get enough cash next month I will absolutely pledge to this.

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

Love the design, new the bottom would be a reptile. Was not expecting a bat, but Laylee is already mad adorable. Will buy Day one. It will be coming to xbone, right?

 

[John Bender]

How can you not love the name? It's a play of "ukulele" and follows the same naming scheme as Banjo-Kazooie. It's brilliant.

I didn't like that name either.
Welp.... don't like it. But at least the character design is spot on.

 

[gaming_noob]

The design is plain and stuck in the 90's.

 

[TripOpt55]

Looks very cool. Excited for this.

 

[Kurtofan]

Cute!

 

[Neiteio]

A grappling hook tongue makes me think of Yoshi's tongue in Super Mario Galaxy 2. The flutter jump also seems Yoshi-esque.

That roll move, where the partner runs on your back, is straight from Retro's DK games.

Consciously or subconsciously, they're borrowing inspiration from all the right places.

 

[SalvaPot]

.

Oooooh.

I get it.

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Love it!

 

[Typographenia]

Thought Yooka was a girl.

Yeah, pretty disappointed it's two guys. : \

I'm liking the designs enough right now. Seems fun.

 

[Diddy Kong]

oh my goddddddddddddddd <3!!! all my money!!!

How does Nintendo not fund this for real!!! damn!!!!!

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I love it.

 

[hydruxo]

I like the character design, but I was hoping one of the two would be a girl like Kazooie.

This will still be the first kickstarter I back.

I think Laylee is a girl. I can't imagine Laylee would be a guy's name haha.

 

[Error404SwagNotFound]

This stuff looks great. This might be the project that gets me to finally donate to something on Kickstarter. Right in my childhood, Playtonic.

 

[Hero of Legend]

.

 

[zoukka]

Dat 90's aesthetics.

 

[Neiteio]

Haha, they put googly eyes in the title of the game.

Goddammit, N64 Rare is BACK.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

.

This isn't even being subtle lol, they're going full on "off brand" Banjo-Kazooie.

Getting strong Mighty Number 9 vibes from the entire project. Teetering around similar designs from the IP they don't own, while being just off enough to not get in trouble.

I think Laylee is a girl. I can't imagine Laylee would be a guy's name haha.

Laylee is a guy. Their description says he lifts his partner.

Laylee can pick up his partner

 

[PfantzyPantz]

So beautiful... The hype is too real.

 

[Morts]

Hopefully the Kickstarter hints at a release timeframe.

 

[Cody_D165]

IT'S BEAUTIFUL

 

[Poona]

Omg! Love these characters already!

 

[Kyleripman]

.

This is awesome.

 

[TM94]

Footage looks excellent, most likely going to contribute when they launch their kickstarter.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Eeeeek. Looks terrible.

 

[Sealtest]

Laylee is the best character i've ever seen.

 

[PaulLFC]

Looks amazing.

Backing this ASAP. PS4 if it hits the stretch goal, PC if not. Can not wait.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Insanely good name.

 

[Neiteio]

Everyone vote for them in the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot.

(I know that wouldn't work, lol)

 

[Nzyme32]

They look great already - although I am going to miss the fiery colours and character of Kazooie

 

[gai_shain]

Damn that looks good, gonna be the first time I back something on KS

 

[Banjoman]

 

[Fandangox]

I don't like the designs, but footage looks good.

 

[TomShoe]

The design is plain and stuck in the 90's.

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

I will back this.

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Can't say I'm fond of them. Yooka reminds me too much of Chameleon Twist/Gex/Croc and all those other late 90s also-ran platformer characters, they just don't have the same spark that Banjo and Kazooie did. Might be something to do with how plain the design is, they have no clothing - which by itself isn't an issue if you look at Sonic - but they also have no real standout features, it just looks like a cartoon chameleon.

 

[darkside31337]

Legitimately one of the best game names ever.

 

[KiefbladeMaster]

Dang, I love those designs. Definitely will back this now.

 

[hydruxo]

Laylee is a guy. Their description says he lifts his partner.

On IGN it says 'Laylee can pick up ITS partner'

Using their unique abilities, the two characters work together to fight enemies and traverse the world around them. Yooka, being a lizard, uses his tongue like a grappling hook, while Laylee can pick up its partner and fly for a short period of time or unleash a sonar blast. The duo have a variety of moves to draw upon. You can see the characters in action in the news video up above.

 

[jon bones]

love it, i'm in

 

[Neiteio]

I don't mind them both being guys. You may recall another famous Rare duo that were bros:

edit: Although now I see the media have conflicting reports on the gender?

 

[cm osi]

kinda...minimalist and bland. looks like it comes out from one of those generic CG movies

 

[evilromero]

Footage looks hot. So having a Chameleon means stealth sections where we have to blend in with the environment to sneak by enemies?
