Live or re-live the freaky adventures of Earthworm Jim in a refreshing remake of the classic action/platform game.
Jim was an ordinary earthworm who did very earthworm-like things. One day, during a battle in outer-space, a suit dropped to Earth and landed on Jim, mutating him into a large and intelligent (at least by earthworm standards) superhero. When Jim learns of the evil plans of Psy-Crow and Queen Slug-for-a-Butt, he decides to rescue Princess What's-Her-Name.
Play as the grooviest earthworm in the galaxy, and explore a crazy universe that offers huge gameplay possibilities:
- Run, gun, swing from hooks with your head, launch cows, bungee jump, rocket through speed levels and more. - Face 12 types of enemies and 9 bosses. - 4 different styles of gameplay: Side-scrolling run & gun, space racing, bungee jumping and underwater levels - 10 original environments divided into 16 levels - 4 levels of difficulty – including the challenging mode of the original game - The re-mastered cult soundtrack - iPod library access to play your favorite tracks while playing the game.

8 of 25Flawed iPhone port of one of the true gems from the 16-bit era of video game history. It's not a Retina display app, but neither was the original in the 90s, so. If you aren't sure whether you'll like the game at all, go download the free version which contains the whole first level. Now, here's the stuff you won't find out by playing the free version: - In the Intestinal Distress level (the next-to-last level if you don't count Andy Asteroids, and previously a Sega Genesis exclusive) the Plasma power-up weapons cannot be obtained, making the boss almost impossible to defeat (they can be physically obtained, but they don't give you the mega-ammo that they're supposed to). - Apparently there's a glitch that makes the final boss impossible to defeat. Haven't gotten there myself yet, though. - if you're holding out for an update to fix the above issues, well, it was last updated three years ago, so good luck. Hope Gameloft knows that neglecting their older titles like this- especially ports of classics like EWJ- makes them look bad as a developer. - To end on an "up" note, the Andy Asteroid levels are now tilt-controlled, which feels natural on the iPhone and works much more smoothly than I recall the d-pad working on these levels on my Sega Genesis in the 90s. All told, if you've got an XBOX360, I'd say track down that port instead.
This game was my childhood. Even though the music player has issues, its a good er... I mean GROOVY port of this game.
This game is Tender... Seriously it's just like the original with a little bit of extra detail I grew up on playing this game so I like it I will always be a fan of the series I'm ready for EarthWorm Jim 2 tho it was my favorite!!! Plz!!... Release 2 I will buy
This is the best game ever I'm so glad that you guys brought back one of my favorite childhood games Game Loft needs to make Earthworm Jim 2 in HD & for the iPod touch format.
I loved this game when I was a kid and even to this day I have tons of fun when I play it!! Unfortunately I never git a chance to play the second one and it would be EPIC if it was releazed in the app store. I would be the first one to buy it!!!
