Guess what? ToeJam & Earl are coming back! It’s time to get funky! Original creator Greg Johnson has decided that he will seek money for the game through Kickstarter to the tune of $400,000.
The new project is called ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove . It will be a lot more like the original ToeJam & Earl rather than the platformer Panic on Funkatron . Here is the story as the official Kickstarter describes it.
Toejam and his homeboy Big Earl go out for another joyride in their RapMaster Rocketship, and this time Peabo and Lewanda and a few other friends come along. Of course, TJ and Big E. have to take their friends to see Earth, where all the craziness started. While in orbit around Earth, TJ can’t resist showing off and pressing a mysterious new button on their ship called “Black Hole – DO NOT PRESS!”
The Earth now breaks apart in one of those Time-Warp-Black-Hole-Displacement thingies. Who could have guessed, right? Well, TJ, Big Earl, and their playable-character-friends must once again put that darned ship back together. The good news is that this time, when you find the ship pieces, much cooler stuff happens, AND once it’s all put together you get to fly the ship around. Neat, huh?
