In this thrilling sequel, the dastardly villain Capital B has devised a wicked plan to enslave the Royal Beettalion Guard using his ingenious invention, the Hivemind device. These tough bees are the protectors of the Royal Stingdom, and it's up to Yooka, a chameleon with a knack for rolling, and Laylee, a witty bat with a big attitude, to liberate them from Capital B's grip.
Get ready for a rollercoaster ride through chapters filled with the tastiest 2D platforming trimmings. Each chapter of the game offers its own unique challenges, from treacherous obstacles to clever puzzles that will put your platforming skills to the test. And let's not forget the impressive boss battles that await you at the end of each chapter - can you defeat Capital B and his henchmen?

Each bee has a different ability, such as deflecting projectiles or granting temporary invincibility, which can help you navigate the treacherous Lair and take on Capital B.
As you progress through the game, you'll also come across T.W.I.T. Coins, a currency that can be used to unlock new levels and tonics. Tonics are special modifiers that can change the way you play the game, adding a fun twist to the gameplay. From turning the game into a psychedelic experience with the Retro mod, to adding a challenge with the 8-Bit mod, there are tons of tonics to discover and experiment with.
