    they should rename this to CRASHjam and earl! if you want this game than DO NOT get the switch port. it constantly crashes when you use the elevator, fall off the level and even when you go to save sometimes. endless mode is incredibly buggy too the fps is also constantly dropping DO NOT BUY THIS!!

    ToeJam & Earl's endearing retro motif is right up my alley, but there simply isn't enough charm here to elevate this new entry over its source material. [Issue #39 – May/June 2019, p. 29]

    HumaNature have executed the retro revitalisation of ToeJam & Earl exactly in the way that backers will have wanted. Whilst it might not be a revolutionary game in 2019, the updated features and trimmings are more than enough to keep fans of the series happy.

    I do wish the time-honored gameplay was offset a bit more by balanced, polished, and tighter design at times. But if you’re “ready for a blast of funky nostalgia” the sense of déja vu that comes from familiar fun won’t be a negative.
