Step into the cosmic barnyard of Earthworm Jim’s universe, where cows aren’t just grazing on grass—they’re galactic! These celestial heifers are more than your garden-variety milk dispensers; they’re semi-sentient and sprinkled across the stars. Our hero, Earthworm Jim, has become a bovine benefactor, a savior of the spotted, and is moo-ted as a deity among the dairy denizens.
Now, let’s mosey on over to the game itself. Amidst the interstellar escapades, you’ll find “Beware of Bovine” signs dotting the landscape. In an utterly absurd twist, our first level, New Junk City, demands that Jim jettison a cow into the cosmos to clear his path. Launching this lactose-laden lass lights up your screen with “cow launched” and nabs you a nifty “Snot a Problem” badge of honor on Xbox 360.
But this cow’s tale doesn’t end there; it’s an orbital odyssey! This dairy daredevil makes cameos across the cosmos in later levels. And in a finale that’s both out-of-this-world and down-to-earth, our airborne angus descends upon Princess What’s-Her-Name post-Queen Slug-for-a-Butt beatdown.
And if you’re hankering for more cowbell, Earthworm Jim 2 delivers. These endearing ungulates aren’t just background barnyard decor; they’re front and center, doling out bovine bravos and cow-sized kudos to Jim at every level’s end. It’s a veritable victory parade in pastures unknown!
