Gameloft's iPhone remake of Shiny's classic Earthworm Jim has found its way to the App Store, at a price of $4.99. It's a great game, but trying the iPhone version means you're willing to punish yourself by attempting the already-difficult run-and-gun without the benefit of a D-pad or buttons. We're going to have nightmares if we think too long about playing the submarine level that way.
In addition to the download-anywhere convenience and painful controller substitution, the iPhone/iPod Touch release lets you play your own iPod music as you play. That should be a welcome addition to one intentionally annoying level.
After the break, see gameplay footage captured by Touch Arcade.
The controls are fucking RIDICULOUS in this game. I can't get past the fucking second crow ON THE FIRST FUCKING LEVEL. I've tried the d-pad and the virtual analog stick and this shit is near impossible...
