    There is a Kickstarter for a New Toejam & Earl Game

    I tend not to put up news on new Kickstarter campaigns since all too often people get burned by broken promises. However, I feel as though people would like to hear about the possibility of a new Toejam & Earl game. Yes, Toejam & Earl: Back in the Groove has a Kickstarter campaign underway.


    So what’s this all about? My name is Greg Johnson, and I am one of the two original creators and owners of the Toejam and Earl games (just to be clear, Sega doesn't own it).
