Yooka-Laylee PC Controls & Key Bindings Guide

Basic Controls

Up, Down, Left, Right OR WSAD – Directional controls

Space – Jump, also talk to people, select options in the menu (works as the ‘A’ button)

Anomoly: The ‘X’ button can also be used to jump, but loses function entirely when around anyone you can talk to, and CANNOT be used to talk to a person.

Esc – Works as the ‘B’ Button, cancels out of menus, but also pauses the game. Minor annoyance when you pause the game and also exit from a menu/conversation.

Tab – Zooms into a third person ‘shooter’ angle, used for aiming Yooka for shooting items later in the game.

C – Uses Yooka’s tongue. Initially grabs hold of butterflies, but will also grab hold of other things later in the game after learning proper moves from Trowzer.

Z – Your attack button. Use it to spin into enemies or attack in the air.

Shift – Used to duck. Will initially not be useful as keyboard players cannot ‘sneak’, but comes into play later with moves learned by Trowzer (see advanced controls section for more)

Q – Rotate Camera Left

E – Rotate Camera Right

 

 

Swimming

Spacebar – swim up (towards the surface)

Ctrl – swim down (towards the ground)

 

 

 

Advanced Controls

Space + Ctrl – Your slam attack. Jumps into the air, then slams Yooka into the ground.

Ctrl + Alt – Uses Laylee’s super-echolocation.

Ctrl + Right Mouse button – Uses Yooka’s invisibility.
