DKC Tropical Freeze is my favorite game on Switch, and I saw the deep discount on both Yooka Laylee games.

I played a few levels last night of Impossible Lair and it definitely scratches that itch and plays similarly to Donkey Kong. The design, movement, and most importantly to me, the fantastic music that just gives such an awesome vibe to some great platforming. I also learned the following looking up information about the game online:
>Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair was developed by Playtonic Games, a studio composed of former Rare employees
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a tight platformer with pretty large levels, lots of secrets, and some tough challenges that uses the DK “roll” mechanic in traversal and also taking out enemies. Especially for three bucks!
