Jim now must evade the game’s many antagonists, who want the suit back. Jim is a normal earthworm, until a special “super suit” falls from the sky and allows him to operate much like a human, with his worm body acting as a head and the suit acting as a body. Failure to do so results in Peter lashing out at Jim, taking away from his health. For example, the level “For Pete’s Sake”, involves making sure the computer-controlled Peter Puppy character gets through the level unharmed, which is accomplished by whipping him to make him jump over pits, and defeating enemies before they can damage him. Some levels have additional requirements beyond merely getting to the end of the level. The whip move also allows the player to grab hold of, and swing from, certain hooks in the game. The player can use Jim’s gun as a method of shooting enemies, or his worm body as a whip for whipping enemies. The player controls Jim and must maneuver him through the level while avoiding obstacles and enemies.
The game plays as a 2D sidescrolling platformer with elements of a run and gun game as well. The game was released for the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System, before being subsequently ported to a number of other video game consoles.
Earthworm Jim is a 1994 run and gun platform game developed by Shiny Entertainment, featuring an earthworm named Jim, who wears a robotic suit and battles the forces of evil.
