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.

8 of 25I love it but finished it
Earthworm Jim and Sonic have always been my favorite sega games of all time, I want to thank the genius who had the idea to make this app, you are the man, I'm so glad to see earthworm this day and time, I beg of you to make the rest of the games as apps, I will buy, and so will alot others I'm sure, you will make lots of money if you do that and make me very very very very happy, I will break up with siri if you do and that's my lady! shows how much I want the others to come out on the app store! Thanks again for making the best part of sega available on my phone, man I love technology! Nerds=The new jocks! Who cares about football when you got an iPhone :)))))
First off i will tell you that this is an amazing game. This was one of my favorite sega genesis games along with mortal kombat and many others. The iphone port of this game looks great but the countrolls are weird. On the genesis controller the controlls are the d pad and abc buttons they are easier to get to and use than the ones on the iphone. This is a great timeless game but on the iphone the controlls are pretty bad.
I rember playing this game on my old gameboy advance! aah.. good times.. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for bringing this back! I use to try to remember what this game was called but i never could. So i thank you SOOOOOO much!
I've never been able to see the game work. It crashes every time I try to open it up. The OS is up to date, so I don't see what the issue is.
The lite verson needs to be longer
Crashes on ios6. Please fix, love this game!!!
I believe that an iPhone is no place for a platform jumping game, but this port of Jim is real smooth. The controls are decent, your thumbs don't cover too much action onscreen, and the choice of movement controls is awesome. The only thing that I have to say is that jumping and whipping to get to secret areas feels a little harder to do.
