Earthworm Jim: Zero Hour Above Terlawk is a run-and-gun platforming multi-genre game concept by Red-Verse-Writer, a new instalment in the Earthworm Jim series. Set after the events of Earthworm Jim 3D, Jim, having awoken from his cow-induced coma, is tasked with travelling across several planets and alternate realities to defeat a gathered union of his fiercest foes and collect the needed parts to build a giant magnet to stop a meteor from destroying his hometown of Terlawk.

Gameplay
Earthworm Jim: Zero Hour Above Terlawk is a run-and-gun platforming game in which the player takes on the role of Earthworm Jim, a hyper-evolved worm in a cybernetic suit, as he travels around multiple planets and alternate dimensions to fight evil forces and save his hometown of Terlawk, USA. Played from a 2D perspective with highly detailed sprites and backgrounds, the player controls Jim through multiple different stages across the universe, fighting back against enemies and exploring to find magnet parts. The player is able to use all of Jim's physical abilities, such as running, jumping, crouching and crawling, and firing various weapons, starting with the simple Plasma Blaster and upgrading to more powerful and bizarre weapons, such as the Bubble Gun and Pea Shooter.
