Twisted Pixel explodes with new Comic Jumper information

18.03.2010
As one of the hottest and most intriguing new developers in the gaming industry, we were genuinely surprised about the silence of Twisted Pixel (the developers of and 'Splosion Man) at GDC 2010. Turns out they were saving their big unveiling for this month's fan-focused events. The company's newest game, a side-scrolling brawler called Comic Jumper: The Adventures of Captain Smiley, debuted at the South by Southwest festival in Austin Texas this week, and will also be out in full force at PAX East next weekend. The game does not have a release date or system set yet, but Twisted Pixel's latest release states that "the company's goal is to create inspiring and memorable character-driven games for consoles." Given the developer's history with Xbox Live Arcade, seeing the game on that downloadable service seems like a safe bet.

We've got the first screens of the game in our , but you'll be able to check out more of the game, the hero and his animated costume, and the developers of all of the aforementioned things at PAX East next weekend.
