Sup yall?! Were back! Some would say, BACK IN THE GROOVE!! Did we use that joke already? Its hard to keep up! We hope youve all been keeping funky while weve been working on rolling out these console updates.
CONSOLE UPDATES? Where are they? You said September! ...we did, and we apologize for not hitting that deadline. Extreme World was pretty easy to polish up and get ready as its just some simple number and balance changes, but keeping the console versions from not crashing during Endless World was more of a challenge for our small team than we expected. We are developing simultaneously for multiple platforms with a team of less than 5 people now, and your patience is much appreciated. But the good news is, they are absolutely ready now and they should all be rolling out this week!!! As always you can get caught up on the changes for Extreme and Endless Worlds in our previous update here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1578116861/toejam-and-earl-back-in-the-groove/posts/2553797. We highly recommend reading this if you plan on completing Extreme World, which contains over 100 fan requested balance changes. Some information that has changed in this post are the issues listed in the beginning, they have been ironed out already and we have changed Endless World from unlocking by reaching Extreme World Level 15 to unlocking at Level 10 based on player feedback. If youre still having a hard time unlocking Endless try playing with a friend or hopping online to meet some new homies! Greg has said that if anyone can beat Extreme and Endless Worlds and provide proof he will gladly sign your copies of the game. So if youd like to attempt that madness feel free to email us at support@humanaturestudios.com with your proof and we will hook you up with some signed copies of our Limited Run Games PlayStation 4 or Nintendo Switch physical releases! Other than these new modes coming here is a list of small changes and fixes we have added in the meantime between 1.4 and 1.5. New Extreme Mode New Endless Mode Fixed softlock that occurs when picking up a telephone while rolling a hat Players loading into the game will be temporarily immune to damage for a few seconds Fixed present menu breaking enemy aggro Prevent searching for 2 seconds after immediately opening a present (prevents accidentally searching) Fixed NPCs not Amping/Fixing present when they reward you Fix broken effect on presents overlapping player models Fix Latin American Spanish button in language screen Always freeze presents when in elevator Join network game has public tab first Swap Bodies swaps difficulty as well Fix searched presents getting stuck in midair when inventory is full Make telephones trigger smaller Make telephones add grace if triggered from elevator Fix Earthlings popping back up in the air Wile Coyote style before falling off a level Fix Earthlings getting stuck on hills Network: Fix elves being shaken out and disappearing on clients Remove Hula Girl and UFO from the Good Earthling present Fix telephones from presents making no sound Fix invisibility paint not working against Troll and Tourist Fix Santa dropping Sushi Backer credits fixes In-Game Manual fixes In-Game text fixes These changes will bring the console versions more in line with the Steam version now. We are considering adding the ability to see the level below to console versions as an option for players who prefer to see it over having optimal performance. Whats that? MORE UPDATES? Yup, we are hoping to keep this train going as long as we can. The game is doing well enough that we can continue at the pace were currently chugging along at. But the better the game does the longer we can continue to support it.
Which brings us to our next big announcement, we are dropping the price from $19.99 to $14.99! Obviously this is less exciting for all our loyal fans who already have the game. We wanted to bring the price down because we noticed a lot more sales around this price point during out previous sales. If you havent been able to find homies to jam out with online nows the time to hop back in with a friend and get funky!

Where are those plushies, when are they coming?! The answer is very soon. We have approved the final designs for them and The Yetee hopes to have them available by the end of the year. We love how they look so far and we hope you love them as much as we do! In the meantime, be sure to check out the rest of their ToeJam & Earl collection here: https://theyetee.com/collections/toejam-and-earl.
Due to popular demand we have added the individual Rapmaster Rocket to our Funkotron Shop at just $14.99 with free shipping. Speaking of our Funkotron Shop, we are nearing the very end of our inventory and we will be closing it very soon. Stock is extremely low on the remaining items. We plan on doing one final push around Black Friday but no promises they wont sell out before then.
