An ordinary earthworm lands in a super-suit and sets off to rescue Princess What's-Her-Name. Its wild humour and hand-drawn animation made it one of the most stylish games of the 16-bit era.
Kit's verdict · 7.6/10
Bursting with jokes and animation, let down by some clumsy stages.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Hilarious, surreal humour
- Lavish hand-drawn animation
- Huge variety of stage ideas
Not so much
- Some sections are frustrating
- Imprecise platforming
Play it if anyone who likes their games silly, weird and full of personality.
Skip it if players who want tight, precise platforming.
