Twisted Pixel Games, creators of the award-winning Xbox LIVE Arcade title The Maw, announced today their plans for a new game – another heart-warming tale of courage and yes, even love.

CEO Michael Wilford: “Screw that. Let’s just make a game where stuff blows up.” Creative Director Josh Bear: “Yeah, lots of ’splosions . . . like a guy made out of ’splosions, and he’d be like ’splode ’splode ’splode! and then things die.”

Things Die?

“Yeah, but not like regular dying,” explained Art Director David Leung. “He’ll ’splode people, and they’ll blow up into big steaks and ribeyes and stuff.” Lead Designer Sean Riley added, “Put it in a lab, with lots of glass to break. Then slow motion, and scientists diving away, being all like, Oh no, I can’t believe we made the ‘Splosion Man!”

Adds Sean, “But then they’d get ’sploded too.”

A Game Rich in Tapestry of Story and Depth? No no no no. No. Just ’splosions. We blow the whole budget on things getting ’sploded.

‘Splosion Man will have up to 4 player co-op multiplayer, local and online, a story mode chock full of hilarious cinemas seamlessly integrated into gameplay, epic boss battles, and it’s coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade.  No release date or price details at this time.
