Earthworm Jim 4 gameplay footage was recently released. For those that do not know, this is a console exclusive for the soon to launch Intellivision Amico. Tommy Tallarico is spearheading this revival of the Intellivision brand. Console release is still tentative at April 2021 (Coronavirus impact). Interestingly, the original team behind this game have returned for the fourth installment.
There was also a PC release that compiled most of the console content into one game.
Known for witty humor and wild antics, Earthworm Jim was unique to everything available. Unfortunately, this franchise would be sucked into the void of 3D gaming and seemingly ended there.
We see Jim come into the game world as only he can, not graceful at all. Still funny though. Worthy of note here is the animation transition to gameplay. The swap is quite seamless and hidden well.
There will apparently be tons of parallax scrolling here. Foreground, background, you name it, there is probably parallax scrolling for it. Quite cool.
Now let’s see some environment interaction in the next vid, please?
