However, not only does she not return Jim's affection, but she is also crushed by the flying cow that was launched at the beginning of the game. The game plays out with Jim eluding and defeating all enemies, and saving Princess What's-Her-Name. Jim's task is two-fold, he must evade the game's many antagonists, who are after him because they want the suit back, and also rescue and protect Princess What's-Her-Name from them. Jim is a normal earthworm, until a special 'super suit' falls from the sky and allows him to operate much like a human, with his 'worm-part' acting as a head and the suit acting as arms, body, and legs. It was well received by critics, and received a sequel, Earthworm Jim 2, in 1995. The game was noted for its fluid, cartoon-like animation and 'off-the-wall' humour.
