Sup y’all, did’ja miss us?
Don’t worry we’d never leave you hanging without dropping a line about the physical editions we promised y’all! Just checking in with our favorite Earthlings real quick to let y’all know we have moved into production this month on physical editions for the PS4, Switch and the Kickstarter exclusive PC big box, and they’ll be shipping out in the next 2-3 weeks.
Our homies over at Limited Run Games will be handling the PC big boxes now! They’ve been super helpful and lending a hand while we get these physicals produced and in the hands of our fans ASAP. They are also handling the PS4 and Switch physical editions which have also moved in production and shipped out by the end of the month.
So if we owe you a physical edition of any kind - don’t worry! They will be arriving very soon.
To ensure we get the Kickstarter PC Boxes shipped out though we need everyone to make sure their addresses are correct on BackerKit by May 19th as we will be locking them in once we’re ready to ship.
So head on over to BackerKit to log in and make sure all your deets are nice and neat ready for us to ship out into the streets! If you’re having any trouble feel free to contact us at [email protected] and we will be happy to take a look for you!
Version 1.4.0 is coming soon!
You want to know more about ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove! We get it! We originally wanted to update consoles to version 1.3.0 but we ran into a few issues, and decided to wrap our 1.4 updates in and do one MEGA UPDATE.
This MEGA UPDATE, called “1.4” or as some people call it, “Super Funky Fun Multiplayer Update” includes 3-4 player co-op on all console versions, brand new tomato/slingshot throwing controls, balance tweaks to some presents and hats. Additionally, we have dramatically changed the way levels load/stream, which should make playing on Switch (especially, but all platforms!) much better.
Hopefully this will shake the meta up a bit to reward returning players with a fresh experience.
So if you haven’t peeped the game in a while, when you see the update hit, that’s a great time to get those purty little Earthling eyeballs on what should feel like a fresh ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove experience. We are really excited to get this out starting with PC in the next week and across consoles over the next few weeks to hear what everyone thinks!
After that, we will be working on Version 1.5 which will prepare the game for our upcoming Japanese launch, add ENDLESS MODE (more details at the telethon) and more!!
Super Funky Telethon!
RING RING. What’s that? Is that the ominous ring of a telephone in the distance? Who’s on the other line? Is it the mad dentist calling you in for another visit? Nope. It’s the ToeJam and Earl Super Funky Telethon calling! Making sure you tune in on May 26th on Mixer, Twitch and YouTube as we help send the dynamic duo back to their home planet Funkotron.
If any of our fans want to create a short video wishing the boys a safe trip back home feel free to submit that to us on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/toejamandearl
