<p><strong><a class="external" href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/yooka-laylee">Yooka-Laylee</a></strong> originally began life as a Kickstarter project and went on to become the fastest video game project to reach the one million dollar mark on the crowd-funding platform. This followed with its eventual release on the Nintendo Switch and multiple other systems in 2017</p>
<p>According to a tweet by the official Playtonic Games Twitter account, Yooka-Laylee has now been played by more than one million people. As no other details were provided, we can only assume this latest milestone translates to the combined digital and physical sales across all platforms.</p>
<p>Here’s the tweet below:</p>
