My opinion of this game is probably gonna be that aesthetically it's a bit great but in terms of actual gameplay it... could use some work.

is that fair

I just now took a closer look at that and noticed that it says you can skip the whole thing on PC due to a hidden warp.

I don't even know what to think about that.

I'm getting similar vibes as the Dynamite Headdy LP, in terms of these strange janky design choices.

To be fair, Jim's wonky submarine looks like it controls... better. Somewhat.
Because Touhou OCs can in fact exist, sounds fake I know.

I can't change my username but I go by Vali/Claire now (aka call me Vali or Claire at your leisure ^^).

I never update this currently playing section anymore, it's probably an RPG or something.

A rerelease of this could make it twice as good just by increasing the screen space to let you see twice as far.

That's why it's "The First": they hadnt truly perfected the "completely out of the player's control" bit yet!

Anyone remember the cartoon? I know I watched some of it when I was 4, but the only scene I can remember is Jim pointing some square, remote like device at the bad guy, and pushing the button over and over again, trying to fire a laser like he did before.

Cut away to a garage door opening and closing, over and over.
Jim somehow got his hands on some garage-door opener, instead of the episode's similar looking special device.

I believe the Pause/Break key works to pause the game.

I think in that fight where you died, Major Mucus or whatever he's called collided with your rope and that did damage, but you don't get to do the same and have to collide with him directly (when he's not spinning).

I could be wrong, but it looked like that was when you were getting a lot of damage.

Wall collision is what damages the ropes. raocow just happened to brush up against/get knocked into the wall a whole bunch by accident.

As kids we always thought that Psycrow couldn't be beaten and losing at the Asteroids race was an instant game over.

So, from what I've gathered, Earthworm Jim is the story of a worm getting superpowers, and then going around picking fights on random planets. He'll race a guy, but if he loses he gets frustrated and has to kill that guy too.

He's basically the pure incarnation of aimless spite. It's hilarious, whether he was intended as a parody that way or not.

Apparently, he's doing this to save a princess, but since that doesn't seem to be mentioned in the game at all, it's funny.
