What's been your favourite new enemy type in Yooka-Replaylee so far? My vote has to go to Bizzy Bees with their little pouty faces.

Here's some early concept art of the bee enemy from our incredibly talented Concept Artist, Phoebe! All the loading screens you'll have seen are her work too!

Concept art for the Bizzy Bee enemy in Yooka-Replaylee. The biggest sketches show a big fluffy bee with wings and different coloured ties while the smaller sketches show different variations with different wing sizes and shapes and even completely different styles, for example what a completely robotic Bizzy Bee would look like.

Earlier this week we had Vinesauce stream some Yooka-Replaylee. He never finished the original Yooka-Laylee. What did he think of Yooka-Replaylee? Grab a drink and a snack and start your Sunday with a feature-length video.
