12 Levels That Made You Rage Quit Awesome Video Games
8. The Flyin' King - Earthworm Jim 2
Although every level in Earthworm Jim 2 is challenging, they're usually not too annoying, since they're creative, fun, and hilarious.
But after playing The Flyin' King level for five minutes, you will very quickly lose the will to live.
The premise for the level sounds reasonably simple. While flying on his rocket, Jim must nudge a balloon filled with explosives across the terrain, and placing it beside the boss, Major Mucus. The only way to defeat Mucus is to shoot the combustible balloon while it's beside him.
But this is easier said than done. Throughout your flight, sumo wrestlers will launch themselves at you with catapults. (It's a really weird game.) Not only is it really hard to dodge these portly chaps, they drain your health and slow you down if they latch onto your rocket.
Also, if you come into contact with any of the fireworks dotted around the arena, Jim will zoom ahead, forcing you to backtrack to retrieve your balloon.
Also, because the level is filled with enemy ships and UFOs, you need to blast these baddies with your weapon. But if a stray shot hits the balloon, it'll explode, forcing you to go back to the start to get another one!
