Overview and Gameplay
Jim returns in his super suit to chase Psy-Crow and rescue Princess What’s-Her-Name across a stranger set of cartoon worlds. Earthworm Jim 2 keeps the run-and-gun platform base of the first game, but leans harder into level-specific gimmicks, unusual objectives, and rapid changes of pace.
Controls And Mechanics
- Jim runs, jumps, fires different weapons, whips with his head, and switches weapons during play.
- Snott can be used as a parachute-style glide aid and appears in special level mechanics.
- Stages include platform shooting, puppy-catching sections, quiz-style moments, flying or movement gimmicks, and surreal boss encounters.
- The game is single-player only.
