The player can use Jim’s gun as a method of shooting enemies, or his worm body as a whip for whipping enemies. The player controls Jim and must maneuver him through the level while avoiding obstacles and enemies. The game plays as a 2D sidescrolling platformer with elements of a run and gun game as well. The game was released for the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System, before being subsequently ported to a number of other video game consoles. An alphanumeric password is offered to allow players to save their progress.Earthworm Jim is a 1994 run and gun platform game developed by Shiny Entertainment, featuring an earthworm named Jim, who wears a robotic suit and battles the forces of evil. As he makes his way across the galaxy, Jim encounters familiar villains such as Bob the Goldfish and Evil the Cat, as well as new ones such as Pedro Pupa. Another takes place from an isometric viewpoint much like the shooter Zaxxon.

To do this, Jim must bounce them across the screen to safety on a marshmallow. One particular level sees Jim having to rescue Peter Puppy's puppies from falling to their doom as Psy-Crow throws them out of a window. Breaking up the standard platform action are various mini-game levels. Sidekick Snott aids the annelid when possible and, in fact, resides in Jim's backpack for the duration of the adventure acting as a Snot Parachute that will slow Jim's descent or as a Snot Swing to traverse precarious chasms when the time is right. To stop this insidious scheme, Jim must travel across numerous worlds - each more absurd than the last, with names such as 'The Villi People' and 'Level Ate.' Alongside innate abilities such as using his body as a whip, Jim can also make use of a sizeable arsenal of weapons, including a Mega Plasma Gun, Three-Finger Gun, Barn Blaster, Bubble Gun, and Homing Missile. Just as she takes a liking to him, however, she is kidnapped by the evil Psy-crow, who intends to marry her so he can assume power over the entire galaxy. Having rescued Princess What's-Her-Name at the end of the original adventure, Jim sets out to win her heart.

Shiny's famous earthworm hero starred in a sequel that first appeared on the Genesis, SNES, and Saturn, which has now been ported to the Game Boy Advance.
