1!!The Website/{{Kickstarter}} campaign
2* Playtonic employees revealed that when the Kickstarter first went live, they literally ''didn't see the counter at zero.'' People started pledging ''that quickly.''
3* Within the first ''38 minutes'' of being launched, ''Yooka-Laylee'' managed to hit its minimum funding goal of £175,000 (US$270,041).
4* Within six hours of starting, the Kickstarter hit '''US$1,000,000 (£796,876)''', the fastest a video game Kickstarter had ever hit that sum at the time. Though ''Shenmue III'' eventually reached that mark even faster, that's still very impressive.
5* In just twenty-one hours after starting, the campaign reached the ''£1,000,000 (US$1,513,850)'' mark, fulfilling all eleven of its initial stretch goals.
6* Since they hit everything on the first day, Playtonic added two more stretch goals for an additional £200,000 (US$302,770), which they then hit around twelve hours later.
7* After a total of 10 days, the Kickstarter hit its new largest goal of an orchestral soundtrack, for a total of over ''£1,500,000 (US$2,337,825)''.
8* On 16 June 2015, a little more than 12 hours away from the funding deadline, they managed to hit their final stretch goal of ''£2,000,000 (US$3,130,500)'', which means free DLC for all backers! The campaign finished the same day for a final total (not counting [=PayPal=] pledges) of ''[[PinballScoring £2,090,084 (US$3,270,417.14)]]''.
9!!The game itself
10* You get to destroy ''a living planet'' in a boss fight.
11* Capital B might be a CorruptCorporateExecutive who is also a pawn in a greater scheme, but he puts up an incredible fight. He utilizes bees, minions, shockwaves, a pool of acid, and finally missiles. Yet the duo still beats him by outsmarting him.
