I came into this thread thinking it would be hilarious if the demo were just straight-up the Impossible Lair. Given the structure of the game, I'm pleased to see it's included, and can't wait to hear about somebody who has never gone on to the full game clearing the Lair on the demo build.
This game is fantastic, but the Impossible Lair is way too long and tedious. I stopped playing after I beat all the stages, the Lair was just too annoying to bother.
There's way more to the game than the Impossible Lair. There's an entire game's worth of 2D platforming stages
Game is incredible, easily one of the best 2D platformers of the generation. So many cool twists on the formula, I think you can even enjoy it even if you aren't the biggest fan of 2D platformers. Hopefully this gets more people to try it for themselves
Same here. I didn't even know it existed until it launched. Best platformer since DKC: TF.
Hah, this is amazing.
I've had this on my list but have a few platformers to scratch off first (RE: Yoshi's CW Target Deal). I'll definitely download this to act as a bookmark to remind me to return to it.

not everyone who wanted to play the game was going to do it on PC
Hopefully this helps more people get the game. It's one of the best platfomers of the last few years. Just incredible all around.
You can access the final stage from the beginning, but it is very hard and beating other levels get you resources to survive it. If you're a very good player you can beat it straight away, however
I think the only one that bests it is Tropical Freeze, but of course it does. Fantastic game.
Play this game! Even if you didn't like the previous one they're nothing alike and does some cool things I've been wanting 2D platformers to do for awhile.
Wonderful game. Delightful soundtrack. Don't let the general pessimism of the first Yooka-Laylee (3D platformer) affect this title — it's truly a gem!
I still don't understand why they made the Impossible Lair itself so difficult, but damn it felt good to complete.

Excellent, I'd really like to buy it but I need to feel the movement for myself. If it feels like DKC I'm in.
I was thinking that myself. I enjoy most of the regular levels but that endgame level is tedious and a drag. Newcomers might try it out to see the big showstopper, think it sucks, and bail. I hope next time they just make a more traditional game and keep the tedious levels on a b-side, like Celeste.
Finished Tropical Freeze today. Great production value - someone called it the "Uncharted" of platformers and it shows. I wasn't really a fan of the sticky physics and the super hard difficulty but I enjoyed my time with it. Started Yooka right after and I'm absolutely loving it! Loving his kit and the level design differentiates itself enough from TF to feel fresh. I was just going to do the first level and seriously play it later down the line but I can't put it down!
