Kickstarter launched the game "Yooka-Laylee" and it managed to raise more than $1 million. It is a sort of a successor to the 3D platform "Bankoo-Kazooie"; it was able to get its required funding of $27,000 in under 40 minutes and is on course to become the largest project to be launched with the help of Kickstarter.
The much-anticipated game "Yooka-Laylee" raised $1 million in almost six hours. In comparison "Pebble Time" raised the same amount in just half an hour. Movie "Veronica Mars" raised $1 million in just over four hours.
The popular game - "Exploding Kittens" is currently the hottest project on the platform and currently occupies the position as the most funded project raising $8,782,571. The game had raked up its first $2 million within 24 hours of its launch, according to Game Rant.
Elan Lee and the Oatmeal creator Matthew Inman created the highly-anticipated game. Next up "Ouya" and "Torment: Tides of Numenera" raised $ 8,596,474 and $ 4188,927, respectively. Now it is estimated that Yooka-Laylee is set to break all records and raise more than $25 Million - a staggering amount, according to GeekSnack.
The game features two lead characters who navigate the game. One is Yooka, a lizard, and the other is a bat named Laylee.
