This series taught me that video games can be funny while still retaining quality.

That was Shinys whole motif after all

Earthworm Jim should be the next Bond.
I like EWJ (1 and 2) but to be honest their best feature is the animated sprites and general art, and humor.
Controls and level design is average at best.
>>3643189
And EWJ2 taught me that a whole game of gimmicky levels is bad idea
>>3643209
Eh, the regular side-scrolling levels of EWJ aren't that good either. Variety is fine in this case. The only problem with EWJ2 was that they repeated puppy love 3 times, and flying king triggers PTSD.
EWJ1's submarine level is arguably more gimmicky and shitty than every gimmick level on 2.

>creator is a mad christian bigot who wants all gays to be hanged
Fuck Earthworm Jim. Glad his shitty kikestarter cashgrab bombed both in reviews and sales.
EWJ is a game that has great visuals, art style, but awful gameplay at least imo.
>>3643218
True, but at least the submarine will only eat about 10 minutes of your life.

Tube Race must've been designed to prevent kids from beating the game on a rental copy.

What? You'd think he's a radical who likes weird shit and parodies stuff, but no, he's probably just mentally insane and a bigot then.
EWJ1 is really good
I never played 2
>>3643398
It's basically just more of the same.
>>3643231
There is nothing wrong with being a Christian, and homosexuality is actually degenerate and should be persecuted against.

>basing the product over its creator's views
Liberals and their usual ad hominem.
Earthworm Jim is all about style over substance. It is a decent game, but would anyone like it if the graphics sucked and the character designs were lame?
>>3643218
Not good? Well, I can certainly say I prefer them to gimmicky stages. Especially when I had all those guns to choose from which I never got to shoot anyway. I only really liked Villi People, somehow I started liking it after 50+ plays.
EWJ1 had pretty OK platforming and run 'n' gun really. Nothing extraordinary, but it wasn't bad either.
At least we can agree EWJ had poor gimmicky stages.
>>3643231
Crazy people are always the best artists though.

Nah. Just the asshole ones like you.

Should play this game if you like earthworm jim.

Chill out Anon, my nostalgia boner is killing me, should play the first game again just for the sake of remembering good times
