PAX: THE MAW, ‘SPLOSION MAN DEVS TWISTED PIXEL REVEAL COMIC JUMPER

I haven’t had a chance yet here to give Twisted Pixel’s latest Xbox Live Arcade release ‘Splosion Man the full respect it genuinely deserves, but before I even can, the developer goes and makes an announcement for its latest game, Comic Jumper: The Adventures of Captain Smiley.

The Penny Arcade Expo-revealed trailer above doesn’t give you much of a sense of its eventual mechanics apart from promising ‘a new style of gameplay’ beyond what they admit lies beneath a core of ‘run, jump and shoot’, and the more obvious stylistic underpinning where each comic Smiley jumps to will alter the look of the game from what appears to range from PowerPuff Girls to Sin City.

Twisted Pixel have yet to announce target platforms or release dates, but I’m going to go ahead and assume at very least a continuation on Xbox Live Arcade, for now.
