Earthworm Jim

You play as a space-suited worm with a weird mix of run-and-gun action, bouncy platforming, and surprise set pieces that change the rules mid-level. Stages love throwing you into chaotic situations where quick reactions matter, but so does learning what the game is “really” asking you to do. It’s one of those handheld ports that still feels big because the levels are packed with goofy ideas and constant momentum.
