The suit had been dropped by a space ship that was being attacked by Psy-Crow, an evil henchman for the Evil Queen Pulsating, Bloated, Festering, Sweaty, Pus-Filled, Malformed Slug-for-a-Butt (or Queen Slug-for-a-Butt in short). Then he took out his gun and exploded the crows who had been chasing him. Jim was just an ordinary earthworm who, early one morning, was running from some crows when an indestructible, high-tech super suit (created by the evil genius Professor Monkey-for-a-Head) fell onto him from the sky and, by some wonderful coincidence, the opening of the suit landed on him, and in he went, transforming him into the amazing annelid we've all come to love. In 2010, Earthworm Jim received HD rereleases for modern consoles. It saw a sequel the subsequent year: Earthworm Jim 2. The game is best known for its surreal sense of humor and fluid animations.Įarthworm Jim premiered in the October of 1994 for multiple platforms. The player assumes the role of the eponymous annelid who is able to shoot in multiple directions with his space blaster, with the ultimate goal of saving the galaxy from Queen Slug-for-a-Butt. Earthworm Jim is a side-scroller shooter from Shiny Entertainment and the first game in their Earthworm Jim series.
