This series taught me that video games can be funny while still retaining quality.

I like EWJ (1 and 2) but to be honest their best feature is the animated sprites and general art, and humor.
Controls and level design is average at best.

And EWJ2 taught me that a whole game of gimmicky levels is bad idea

Eh, the regular side-scrolling levels of EWJ aren't that good either. Variety is fine in this case. The only problem with EWJ2 was that they repeated puppy love 3 times, and flying king triggers PTSD.
EWJ1's submarine level is arguably more gimmicky and shitty than every gimmick level on 2.

Fuck Earthworm Jim. Glad his shitty kikestarter cashgrab bombed both in reviews and sales.

EWJ is a game that has great visuals, art style, but awful gameplay at least imo.

True, but at least the submarine will only eat about 10 minutes of your life.

What? You'd think he's a radical who likes weird shit and parodies stuff, but no, he's probably just mentally insane and a bigot then.

EWJ1 is really good

There is nothing wrong with being a Christian, and homosexuality is actually degenerate and should be persecuted against.

Liberals and their usual ad hominem.

Earthworm Jim is all about style over substance. It is a decent game, but would anyone like it if the graphics sucked and the character designs were lame?

Not good? Well, I can certainly say I prefer them to gimmicky stages. Especially when I had all those guns to choose from which I never got to shoot anyway. I only really liked Villi People, somehow I started liking it after 50+ plays.

EWJ1 had pretty OK platforming and run 'n' gun really. Nothing extraordinary, but it wasn't bad either.

At least we can agree EWJ had poor gimmicky stages.
