Backlog Conquering - ToeJam & Earl On PS3 - Part 5

Welcome to Backlog Conquering. This is a series were i play a game from my backlog that i may or may not have played before. the goal isn't necessarily to finish the game, the goal is to play it. that way, i can have an opinion about it.

Our new game is the PS3 version of ToeJam & Earl. this version came out in 2012 as part of the Sega Vintage Collection and was developed by M2. Prior to this playthrough, i hadn't played ToeJam & Earl before but on Mega Drive i had played ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron. 

Part 4 ended with me dying and realising that i hadn't saved since i reached the previous level. that meant the first thing i had to do in this video was to, once again, complete the stage and take the elevator up. thankfully, this didn't take too long. i got the ship part and found the elevator up in just a few minutes. Stage 16 went even easier, especially considering it killed me in the last part, with the elevator going up being found quickly. But 17 took around 20 minutes to finish. i had some of the worst luck with enemy placement and random exits. i made an attempt at 18 in this part but once again i didn't have any luck so called it a day.

i lasted around 4 minutes into playing Part 4 before i had to reload the save. i'm grateful that this feature is here as ToeJam & Earl continues to be a tough game. i don't know if there's an element of randomness about the game or if everything was specifically placed there by the developers. for example, i would get stuck dancing, hit by a cherub arrow, all the while trying to doge the mole. another example would be the tomato firing ducks being placed in areas where there isn't much space to avoid them. By saving and reloading i am making progress and getting ship pieces, but there are times when it feels like i have little or no luck.

Part 3 was tougher than i thought it would be. i just couldn't get past the 8th stage! i'd get there and end up getting knocked down, over and over again! i was having some bad luck with the enemies as well, especially with the bees, they'd chase me down and even knocked me off a stage. so in this part, not much progress was made but i did get another piece of my ship!

Our new game is the PS3 version of ToeJam & Earl. this version came out in 2012 as part of the Sega Vintage Collection and was developed by M2. Prior to this playthrough, i hadn't played ToeJam & Earl before but on Mega Drive i had played ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron. 

Part 1 was mostly me learning what the game is. i knew that it was different to ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron, i just didn't know how. after that video, i understand better what it is i need to do and how to play it. So in Part 2 i set out to find all my spaceship parts. i made quicker progress this time and still found new power-ups. I'm also saving more during this playthrough. i haven't edited that out of this video so let me know in the comments if you'd prefer that i cut when i save in future parts.

Backlog Conquering - ToeJam & Earl On PS3 - Part 1

Welcome to Backlog Conquering. This is a series were i play a game from my backlog that i may or may not have played before. the goal isn't necessarily to finish the game, the goal is to play it. that way, i can have an opinion about it.

Our new game, now that Anthem is finished, is the PS3 version of ToeJam & Earl. this version came out in 2012 as part of the Sega Vintage Collection and was developed by M2. I have not played ToeJam & Earl before but on Mega Drive i have played ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron. Going in to this, i knew that the two games were different, i just didn't know how different they actually were.

So this part is mostly me exploring what ToeJam & Earl is. i try out all the buttons, make mistakes and learn from them. i mostly worked out what to do and how to play it. unfortunately, i did die but i hope to take everything i learned in this part and make a proper go of it from Part 2.
