It's pretty good, my only complaint is that the vibration is set a little too high for my tastes. When you do something like get a promotion or use rocket skates it makes a really long and loud rumble. It's like that in docked too but I find it more noticeable in handheld, thankfully you can just turn it off in the settings.

I'M FAMOUS
Also, you might like to know Huelen... it turns out that tweet they made about a TJ&E character being gay wasn't just a topical joke about Soldier 76, they actually do reveal that two characters in the game are gay and in a relationship together.

In case anyone is wondering:
From the few opportunities I've had to play online coop, the netcode seems pretty solid (PC version).

Since it's now March 1st where I am, I figured I'd draw some winners for that Steam code. First, the answers, which nearly every single entrant got correct:
The winner of the Steam code, selected randomly, is... TAH3145! And since they were one of two people to mention that they were not interested in receiving the stickers, I went ahead and did a second drawing for those. The winner of the vinyl stickers is... Pizza Dog! Check those PMs y'all.

That seems to be an issue a LOT with indie stuff. I wish there was a system wide setting that could be adjusted
Argh, backer code still showing up as invalid on PS4. I'll give it til morning before contacting them, I can't play it tonight anyway. (I wonder if backers get the pre-order theme.)
Really excited to play this. For some reason the hype didn't kick in until the last couple weeks.

Only played for a little bit, but I'm into it so far. The style is spot on, and the visual style works really well. Old Skool Toejam first, of course.
I was disappointed with TJ&E2, but the way they've just kinda stuck some of the side activities from 2 into the basic TJ&E1 framework here feels smart. There's just a lot going on in general, and I think that's a good thing.

only had time for one run tonight, but man it feels amazing to be playing a new toejam and earl game(in the same style as the first one) in 2019
the stages feel a little too dense to me though. im sure ill get used to it

So, I started the tutorial, thinking that going through it would unlock Random mode (the standard way to play TJ&E). I got so wrapped up in checking out the mechanics and everything and completely forgot that I wasn't in the main game yet, but was wondering why it seemed so easy. Had I just gone down to select Random, I would've seen that you need to reach level 10 in Fixed mode to unlock random :/ Oh well. Locking it at all is a weird way to go, in any case.
Some things do feel a little janky, like trying to enter the elevator with spring shoes and clipping through the top, or finding a good earthling in a bush and having them fly out and off a cliff (janky, but funny). I also think buying/identifying/fixing/amping should give you some sort of feedback that it actually happened, preferably audio.
Does anyone know if there's a way to differentiate
Seems like you just have to make a mental note.

bad elevators from regular ones? I don't see any differences, and staring at it for a while looking for a tell (a la the Mailbox Monster) didn't yield results.
Just did a play-through with two other players online. It's so much fun.
BTW: Save any "duplicate present" and "Amp present" presents you can find. Once you find an extra life and/or instant promotion, you can amp/dupe it for double the results. During one game I gifted my buddies four extra lives at once.
There's not really a way to check IIRC. Basically, if you see teeth appear, then leave the elevator immediately.

Can anyone confirm if the Xbox version has local coop? I saw PC version has it but would prefer to get it on the X if local coop is in.
It can on PS4 so I would assume X can as well.
Took this screen of the split screen manual.
Did anyone here managed to purchase the game on the EU PSN?
The game appears here, but there's not a purchase button... :(

If you care about trophies you might want know this up front.
It seems trophies on PS4 (at least the multiplayer ones) do not unlock in local co-op mode. Not sure if this is a glitch or intentional.
The trophy for get a game over before level 3 won't pop in solo or local multiplayer.
Also just went to start a game online, it brought me to a full screen European PS plus subscription page I could not back out of. Was playing on my NA account and a guest on 2nd controller.

Nice, thanks!
There's a part of me that wishes that they didn't stick so close to the design of the first game. There's also a part of me that's pretty happy they found a way to work Funkotron elements seamlessly into the design of the first game.
Most of all it's just cool as hell that there's a new ToeJam & Earl to play. :)

Yeah, I see that the UK store was updated, but nothing in the rest of Europe yet.
Here's a little secret for players that have beaten the game.
While on Funkotron, if you head west you'll see some tiny islands. One of them has a bush that you can shake. You should score a present called an Express Elevator. If you use it, you'll catch a ride to the North Pole. Tell Santa you were a really nice boy or girl, and he'll let you start the next game with three presents of your choice.

There are a few ways to tell:
1. As PepsimanVsJoe said, in single player you can just leave as soon as the teeth appear.
2. The Show Elevator present will always reveal the real one.
3. In co-op, the characters will start saying things like "I have a bad feeling about this" or "It's a trap!" if you stay in there long enough.
4. If it's a fake, stray players won't be able to teleport to you when everybody else is inside like they can with the real ones.

The Nintendo Wire review spoiled this in a screenshot and I was SALTY as heck, until I heard
the totally random argument between elves about whether candy corn sucks or not
I should've pre-ordered also. Now I won't be able to buy it until Monday, because the store doesn't update on weekends.
I could get the Switch version, but then I won't get trophies...
I thought it would be available at midnight last night.
I don't know what's going on
