Earthworm Jim is one of those games that makes zero sense—and that’s why it’s great. You play as a worm in a high-tech suit (because why not?) blasting through bizarre levels filled with cows, evil cats, and sentient toilets. The controls feel a little slippery at first, but once you get the hang of the whip and the way Jim’s head flops around when he jumps, it’s stupidly fun.
The whole thing oozes weird 90s charm—the art style is gross in the best way, and the soundtrack is full of goofy, squishy sound effects. My first time playing, I got stuck in "What the Heck?" for way too long because I kept missing the platforms (blame the wonky physics). But honestly, that’s part of the appeal—it’s chaotic, unpredictable, and doesn’t take itself seriously at all.
If you’re into games that feel like they were dreamed up during a late-night junk food binge, this one’s a classic.
