The title is a side-scrolling 2D platform game. The player controls Yooka, a male chameleon, and Laylee, a female bat, and must complete various levels, which are filled with both helpful items and harmful obstacles. In each level, players can collect feathers. Once sufficient feathers are collected, new levels would be unlocked.[4] Notably, it is possible to enter the game's final level at any point in the game. Waiting until after completing other levels will give the player more health when entering it, providing encouragement to save it for last.
The "Tonics" feature from the first game also returned. Tonics are potions that can modify the gameplay in numerous ways after it was consumed by Yooka. Between levels, an isometric 3D overworld is used for getting around. Characters can be found and spoken to alongside puzzles to solve for quills and tonics.
