Gameplay

To win a contest whose grand prize is a lifetime supply of ever-lasting jawbreakers, the Eds must collect raffle tickets. Throughout the game, Ed, Double D, and Eddy will tap into their unique brand of resourcefulness as they earn money, solve physical puzzles, interact with their pals from the cul-de-sac, and find hidden goodies. Ed can head-butt things; Double D can use a slingshot or a wrench and use switches that do different actions; and Eddy can use the hypnotising wheel or the jetpack. The players will control one Ed at a time, each with his own unique strength and weakness, and may dynamically cycle through the three main characters. Players will explore 29 levels, each offering a short animated cut-scene at the beginning and end.

Reception

Upon release, the game received negative reviews among critics who reviewed it, with IGN's Craig Harris criticising the game's lack of a tutorial. Other complaints include no indication of how long or short a level is, coupled with the time limit on each level. Harris also claims that the timing for the game was bad, as the game's blueprints are based on The Lost Vikings, which was shipped as a Game Boy Advance conversion only a week before Jawbreakers!'s release.[2]

gollark: Although I could do some eldritch stuff to hide it.
gollark: And renaming `potatOS` in `_G` would break... everything?
gollark: Well, yes, but it would be hard to do those.
gollark: That is true.
gollark: PotatOS makes boot take longer, for instance. And there's the `potatOS` API, extra commands, etc.
