March 2025

Never played the original, so consider me a new convert. The game oozes style: graphically, sonically, even in the gameplay. I expected a platformer or at least an attack button. Instead you mainly walk around and avoid enemies, collecting parts of your ship and leveling up. I can’t imagine how cool this game would have been back in the day, but it’s still worth your time for a playthrough or two. Also Macauley Culkin produced this? What?

March 2025

It's the original game but with a load of new stuff added to it and 4 player support. I prefer the original a little more, but this is a really solid follow up, and probably a ton of fun with 4 players. Get it on sale. Jammin'!

Feb. 2025

I've been playing this game off and on for a while now. People complain about how "random" the skill ups are or the fact it gets harder in the back half of the game. That's the point. If they had advertised this as a rogue-lite, which it is, it makes complete sense. You can choose a starting character with your primary stats, and you get random upgrades that may hinder or help your run. Last half of the game does require effort to play, but if you play smart and use the presents you got in the literal first half of the game, than you will be fine. Overall, I played the OG one a long time ago and I'm actually happy with the progress. I can't wait for the next one. Maybe up to 4 players? Wishful thinking.

Oct. 2024

Still riddled with bugs and likes to lag or crash randomly but it's Toejam and Earl, a game like no other - equal parts fun and horribly frustrating. An average game from start to finish (if a van or flying girl doesn't KO you right before you get that last piece) takes a few hours and, if you're playing a random world, it's a different kind of stress every time. The style is unmatched, the soundtrack is funky, the exploring and playing with presents is fun, it's great for idle hands and all the added elements in this game make it a worthy successor to the original. Nothing like the 2nd or 3rd (in my opinion, this is more than fine) and basically a roided-out definitive version of the first. TJ&E for the Genesis is one of my favorite all-time games and I probably still enjoy that one more since this game has newer, meaner enemies including itself if you start hearing your computer's fan.

May 2024

This game is all three Toe Jam and Earl games combined and includes extra characters to use in game play. Plus there are added earthlings to deal with. If you happen to stubble across level 0, it is fun to explore. The hot tub party is kinda cool.
