The funkotronic duo are back in ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove, and this time the developers are turning to Kickstarter to make sure the game gets made without publisher interference. Greg Johnson, one of the two creators of the franchise, has pitched the game as a ToeJam & Earl experience similar to the original game.

While being old school at its core, it looks like there are going to be some welcome additions to the formula such as four-player cooperative, upgrades that carry between games, and hats that affect stats. ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove hopes to get $400,000 to release on PC and potentially other unspecified platforms.

Hello Sega and Sonic fans, if you loved the golden era of Sega Mega-Drive Genesis you should Back this project.

Toejam and Earl was a hit in 1991, an action game that was beyond it's time, was one of the first roguelike games, had random worlds, comedy, jokes, lots of good funk music, fun factor and it had a unique personality. All of that with splitscreen cooperative gameplay.

At it's Kickstarter page there is some videos and some screenshots of its very early prototype. That's why you must understand that it's not the final look, but only a concept of the working gameplay.

Now, don't forget to BACK and SPREAD THE WORD about this good news.
