Play Earthworm Jim 2 GBA Online

Earthworm Jim 2 came to the Game Boy Advance in 2004, published by Majesco Sales. It was one of those late-era GBA titles that tried to bring a console experience to the handheld, and it arrived when the system was still going strong. The game is a port of the original 16-bit version, adapted for on-the-go play.

You control Jim, an earthworm in a robotic suit, as he battles through bizarre levels to rescue Princess What's-Her-Name. Your main tools are a rapid-fire blaster and a grappling hook that lets you swing across gaps or pull objects. The game is structured screen by screen, with plenty of platforming, enemy shooting, and occasional puzzle solving. Some stages change up the gameplay entirely, like a descent down a shaft where you avoid obstacles or a shoot-'em-up section in a bubble. The difficulty can be unforgiving, with precise jumps and aggressive enemies, but the action stays fast. It feels chaotic and inventive, even when it frustrates.
