The game will play most similarly to the original ToeJam & Earl game for the Sega Genesis.[2] The game will play from a fixed, isometric viewpoint, and feature the same basic gameplay of searching and exploring up a successive layer of floating islands. While it will mostly not play like the game's vastly different sequel, ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron, it will implement some of the minor side aspects of it, such as the "Jam Out" rhythm-based mini-game. The game will feature nine different playable characters, and four-player cooperative gameplay, both online and locally.
