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'!

Please give us Toe Jam & Earl 3 remastered. Bought this remaster to show support for the IP.

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.

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?

Goodness, me. This is an absolute delight. A faithful recreation of the first game with lots of new elements added including some groovy bits from Toejam & Earl 2 (this thrillingly includes occasional visits to the Hyper Funk Zone). Thanks, Macaulay Culkin! (...no, really)

This is a great remaster of a classic game. Captures the look and feel perfectly. Basically a 'roguelite' before it became a popular genre. Full of 90s 'feel'. Definitely not an amazing game by todays standards but I'd get it on sale. Easy to jump in for a quick run.

Feels just like the old game. Its a chill vibe of exploration fun.
