It wasn't just said here. They were said to be exclusive to pre-ordering prior to release. It's still on the second video of the three on the store page (video timestamp 0:45).

I personally hate missable exclusivity and am glad that everyone can still get the full game. But to call it what it is, anyone who made sure to buy the game prior to release on the basis of exclusive content has just been mis-sold the game.

Hmm, I see your point. I am going to raise this with our team tomorrow morning. Thanks for your feedback.

I have the same feelings and just wanted to corroborate.

Also, my tonics tab is at "0 tonics". DO I need to do something to get the dlc tonics ingame?

Yes, you'll need to talk with Vendi and then Tonics will become available.

I just cant thank enough the devs of yooka-laylee. I've been playing this game (and only him) everyday since its release. Im like 13 hours of gameplay right now in my switch, and still've left like 6 or 7 stages.

Awesome job, super super fun. The sound is a show apart btw, perfect!

Cant wait for the next game (or DLC maybe?)

I think I found two minor bugs in this game:
1- If I teleport to Ropeburn Ridge from the menu, the menu to enter the chapter won't appear unless I walk to another area and comeback manually; and
2- the windmill like conveyor belt platforms right under the third coin on Conveyor Chaos - Crosswire sometime won't move the characters as every other conveyor belt on that stage, but it will work just fine if I come back to it from a later checkpoint.
