Does the campaign have local co-op?

[VEF215]

Can 2 players play through the campaign together?

I know in A Hat in Time you can do that

Sure does. Pity there's no online coop, though. This is definitely the platform to do that.

What does each player control? What character is player 2

It's like Octodad. Player one gets left leg, right arm and player two gets right leg, left arm.

No idea myself actually. Definitely not Laylee, though. Maybe some sort of tag-team style coop.

Second person plays as a reticle that can collect things.

Yes, what did you expect? This isn't Sonic... It's a single player centric 3d platformer... This thread was only created for a shameless plug for that other weird ass 3D platformer.

You mean the one that has actual proper local co-op lol! What a joke

AND it has Steam workshop support

And it's also $20 compared to $40

Yooka Laylee is pretty disappointing

It's co-op in a similar way as Super Mario Galaxy. The second player controls a cursor that operates separately from Mario, can collect items and interact with certain hazards (traps). It's interesting in its own right insofar as it gives a passive audience an option for a (albeit limited) active role should they choose.

Given the nature of the game, I'm okay with this. Other co-op options that I've seen in other games, or others have listed here, seem like a poor fit for the game (my opinion only, and I normally LOVE co-op). These include...
- Tag in with swaps between characters (odd because the characters are a team and don't operate separately in any functional way)
- Take turns at certain points (just as easily accomplished by handing over the controller after X has happened, which is what I've been doing with "X" meaning a Paigie retrieval or character death)
- Split-screen with multiple Yookas and Laylees (especially odd, but maybe a fit for some)
- Competitive play swapping (not co-op, but a decent local multiplayer option similar to Super Mario Bros. 3, where a successful completion of a mission or a death triggers a swap to the other player for an attempt to tackle the challenge and improve upon the performance of the other player)

BUDDY UP: Establish your own buddy-duo and adventure through Yooka-Laylee in co-op mode! Taking control of a unique co-op character, a second player can assist Yooka and Laylee by stunning enemies and helping them tackle tricky challenges. No piggyback required.

Yooka-Laylee is a singleplayer game with local multiplayer mini games.

I will own A Hat in Time and continue to enjoy the heck out of Yooka-Laylee, I can enjoy several games, not one or the other as the OP seems to be implying.

You know the first few hours I thought that thing was an objective way point because I don't recall it ever being explained of what the thing was. Luckily I didn't follow it cause it was always in the corner of my screen but it was still confusing. Assuming it's that hexagon with bees around it anyways.

Guessing it activates if you move your mouse which I accidently did while using the steam overlay.
