yo! yo! yo! Merry Funkmas everyone!
We did it! We finally caught Santa before he could fly away… it only took us a few weeks. But look at all these funky presents he spilled all over the Earth when we grabbed him!
He was carrying so many cool ToeJam & Earl thingies and sales for Back in the Groove! Who would’ve thought?!
Okay that’s enough yelling!!! Our throats are really starting to hurt!!! Let’s peep what Santa dropped.
Firstly he dropped some holiday sales for the game:
Sorry we won’t be on sale on Xbox One this holiday season. We hope you enjoyed our previous sale last month though!
Unfortunately it’s not all holly jolly this year. We will be pulling down the Funkotron Shop at the end of this month. All remaining stock will remain promotional items only, no longer able to be purchased.
The cost of shipping from Funkotron to Earth was a lot of bucks. So spread the funk while it lasts!
Be sure to visit our Funkotron Shop where we have the PC Backer Box edition which comes with The Game, Stickers, Pins, a Magnet and CD Soundtrack all in one collectible box all for $14.99! We also have the Rapmaster Rocket vinyl figure ($9.99!) and a T-shirt! 🚀👕
Missed out on our Vinyl?
EnjoyTheRide Records has got you covered! This new vinyl repressing comes in 6 different variants, pick your favorite! 📀💿
Looking for some super funky stocking stuffers? Head on over to the YeteeMart where you can grab exclusive stickers, pins, t-shirts coffee mugs and of course the plushies! 🌭👟😎
Well, that’s all the presents we have for now. We are truly unsure what 2020 will bring for the funk boys. But we wanna thank y’all for rocking with us this year. We hope we were able to spread a little bit of joy and funk into your lives. Thank you so much for your support and your patience while we made Back in the Groove all it could be in 2019.
Onward to 2020!

Twitch Prime, Holiday Sales & Presents!

yo! yo! yo! Merry Christmas!
uhhh, what? Too soon? Our bad. We just get so excited around the holidays because we get a chance to finally catch Santa. Just when we think we got him he always flies away with his jetpack… dang!
But he always comes bringing presents and this year he’s leaving behind some real goodies for the ToeJam & Earl fam.
We are proud to announce that ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove will be available with December’s Twitch Prime subscription! Twitch Prime is a service offered by Twitch for Amazon Prime members, it comes with a lot of cool stuff so if you have Amazon Prime be sure to link your Twitch account so you can get our game!
The coolest thing about this version of the game is it includes the Twitch Crowd Control feature. Which allows viewers of your stream on Twitch to apply random effects to the player by donating bits. If you enjoy streaming our game it’s about to get a whole lot more wild!
The Crowd Control feature will remain exclusive to the Twitch Prime version during the month of December and we hope to bring it to our other versions of the game in early 2020.
This holiday season you can also pick up Back in the Groove for 50% off on Steam and Xbox. But act fast because this deal won’t last long! (Sorry for the late heads up, holiday seasons are always so busy!)
We will hopefully have some more discounts to offer you in the future, especially for our Switch and PS4 homies as well, so don’t worry if you miss out on this one.
For our Steam homies! Please vote for us for ‘The Better With Friends Award’ this year here:

Until next time Earthlings. Stay funky,

Vinyls, Plushies, Updates, OH MY!

You asked for it. We heard you. It took us a bit, but they’re finally (mostly) here. What are we talking about? The same thing we’re always talking about, the two funkiest aliens this side of funkotron, ToeJam & Earl!
Well more specifically, we have a vinyl repressing of our soundtrack with brand new artwork by Eddie Mauldin (@eddiemauldin on Twitter) inspired by De La Soul, some of the funkiest homies to ever bless the mic, so it only seemed fitting!
There are 6 different variants and they are all EXTREMELY limited.
Enjoy The Ride Records (@EnjoyTheRideRES) were nice enough to make a little promo video showcasing all the variants and the awesome comic they made of our intro video for their gatefold here: https://twitter.com/toejamandearl/status/1195393178842603520
Enjoy The Ride Exclusive Variants:
-Grey with Yellow Screen Printed D Side (150 copies)
-Loading Screen Pink with Blue & Green Splatter A/B Side & Yellow with Blue & Pink Splatter C/D Side (200 copies)
Where you can find the Green with Yellow and Retail versions, the normal Neon Yellow retail variant which will be available at various record stores, and their exclusive Elevator Background inspired variant!
They also have an exclusive Test Press bundle that comes with their exclusive variants and a Test Pressing housed in alternate colored artwork (Hand-numbered out of 24 total copies)
Latisha/Lewanda Split A/B Side & ToeJam/Earl Split C/D Side and packed lovingly by the sweaty palms of the real actual aliens at HumaNature Studios!
For those of you that weren’t able to grab our Limited Run Games Collector’s Edition with the cassette tape, well Enjoy The Ride Records has you covered there as well! Limited to 100 each, you can find their exclusive Mega Drive/Genesis inspired cassette here:
Guess who is showing up this holiday season? That’s right! The funk boys are back just in time for Xmas... in plush form. Brought to by our homies over at The Yetee you can sign up to be notified when the plushies go live, (and it should be very soon!) so don’t miss out. https://theyetee.com/collections/toejam-and-earl/products/toejam-earl-plush-set
MORE Game Updates?!
Yup, we’re still working on them. Here’s a little peek at what’s coming down the pipeline:
We are adding in the Twitch extension Crowd Control for our fans that enjoy streaming. This will allow viewers in the chat to donate bits to add effects to the streamer. Is the streamer doing really well and you wanna knock them off the level? Use the Drop Level effect, or donate to make the player fall in love from a Cupid arrow and watch as they walk themselves off the map!
With Crowd Control the viewers are in control of what they watch. When we have this ready we plan to do a few streams showcasing the feature. We were able to get Greg to stop Hula Dancing for a bit down in Hawaii and agree to show up to the stream as well. More info on when that will be soon!
Thanks for rocking with us y’all as we make the game as great as it can possibly be!
We’ve updated our Instagram with a ton more fanart!!

Day of the Devs Humble Bundle!

– Tue, Oct 29, 2019 at 08:48:19 PM
Hey y'all! Just wanted to give a quick update that we are now available during the Day of the Devs Humble Bundle for October!
For just $9 you can grab ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove as well as 5 other spooky games and a VIP Ticket to the 6th Annual Day of the Devs on November 10! The VIP Ticket allows you to get in 1 hour early, skip the line if you get there a bit late as well as 20% off at the pop-up shop. If you don't plan on going to to the event you will also get 20% off at iam8bit.com!
Don't forget it's for a good cause too! By buying this bundle you'll be supporting Extra Life and charity: water or choose to donate to other listed charities of your choice by selecting 'choose a new one' at the bottom of the page.
You can even pick how much of your donation goes to charities or the publishers. Just use the 'Choose where your money goes' drop down to divide it up however you'd like!
"But ToeJam & Earl isn't even a spooky game!" Not spooky you say?
Have you ever been down to your last life and heard the ominous honking of the Phantom Ice Cream Truck? Or how about wandering a dark level searching for that missing ship piece while a Boogeyman runs up behind you and BOOGEY-BOOGEY-BOOGEYs you right off the map? Or how about those devils with pitchforks? TERRIFYING! (Well, those are pretty cute more than scary...)
Already have the game? Tell a homey and spread the funk!
More cool stuff coming soon!
Love,
ToeJam & Earl
