About Earthworm Jim
Jim wasn't always a studly super-worm. He was once just a spineless, dirt-eater with no real mission in his life...
But then something unexpected happened. The evil Psy-Crow was transporting a super suit, built by the genius Professor Monkey-For-A-Head, to Queen Pulsating, Bloated, Festering, Sweaty, Pus-Filled, Malformed, Slug-For-A-Butt, but along the way it was stolen by a rebel. Although Psy-Crow killed the rebel, the suit fell down to Earth, landing on an Earth Worm. That cosmic twist of fate placed Jim in control of an ultra-high-tech-indestructible-super-space-cyber-suit.
Anyway, Earthworm Jim found out that Princess What's-Her-Name had been captured and set out to save her. Meanwhile, there's a bounty on Jimmy and plenty of people are in line to take Queen Slug-For-A-Butt up on her offer.
Now Jim must make it to the princess and stay clear of Psy-Crow, the intergalactic bounty hunter, until the final battle with Queen Slug-For-A-Butt. To accomplish this, you'll have to use every weapon and ability at your disposal to wriggle your way through dozens of original and just plain weird levels.

Earthworm Jim is a classic side-scrolling platformer developed by Shiny Entertainment and published by Interplay Inc. that earned its reputation through a blend of imaginative gameplay, eccentric humor, and memorable visual design. Rather than following a conventional heroic tale, the game centers on an ordinary earthworm who unexpectedly gains immense power after discovering a technologically advanced super suit. This unlikely transformation launches Jim into a bizarre intergalactic adventure where he must battle bizarre enemies, survive dangerous environments, and rescue Princess What's-Her-Name. The game's offbeat premise immediately separates it from more traditional platformers, embracing absurdity at every opportunity without ever taking itself too seriously. One of the game's biggest strengths is its willingness to constantly reinvent its gameplay. Instead of relying on repetitive platforming, nearly every stage introduces a new idea or challenge that keeps the adventure engaging. Players run, jump, swing across gaps using Jim's own body as a whip, fire an assortment of weapons, and confront creative obstacles that require quick reflexes and adaptability.

It's Earthworm Jim. I bought this PURELY to own Earthworm Jim on Steam. It plays terribly on a keyboard, it plays wonderfully using a game controller. Take from this review what you will. It's Earthworm Jim. We know why you're here, you're curious what the review says. You're thinking i'll talk about Audio Quality. You think i'll say this has the hidden level the PC CD-Rom had and you know what? IT DOESN'T. It's Earthworm Jim. Buy it and play it, we all know you're going to, you're just looking for justification. You don't need justification you're a human being with complete autonomy. Be Reckless. Buy it. Play Earthworm Jim on Steam. I know there's no Achievements. I know there's no cards. Who cares? Buy the Full Bundle like I did. You deserve it. You need it. You barely remember Earthworm Jim 3D for the N64 don't you? You should buy the bundle and play it.
computer version is a bit laggy and themes sounds different (console versions are better) but its still very good
