It is cool that gameloft has the right to make a earth worm jim game but i think they insted og porting and making a bad control scheme they should develop a new earth worm jim game with touch controls. Insted of making a control for the game they sould make a game for the control. I hate people porting control pad games over to the touch.

I guess we'll have to wait and see how the game controls in when it finally releases.

And they're missing the Big Bruty level from the special edition version too.

They should have implemented a control scheme where you swipe in a direction in the middle of the screen to whip, and had only two large buttons (or small buttons with a larger hit target) on the right for shooting (jump in lower right corner, and shoot towards the center right edge). So we get joystick for directional (which is serviceable), swipe to whip, and buttons to shoot and jump. Three small on-screen buttons in a triangle configuration is really pushing us into the realm of non-playable.
