It oozes charm...really fun so far. The demo levels are not the greatest being they're the first 3, but the difficulty and fun ramp up once you get past those. I also swore I heard a "get to da choppa." Worth a buy for 2D platformer fans, and reminds me of what a Sonic game should be.


The co-op was a blast while it lasted, which was fine for several levels and then turned into a glitchy, laggy mess. Need to try again, but this looked like more than just lag.


It also has to be the first game I can think of that gives you two gamer pictures, a premium theme, and avatar stuff(when the update drops.) Kudos to them for dropping a great game with all those extras for 800 points.

I bought it today and me and my wife have been having a blast with it and off topic I didn't know Hasbro had games on Live and we have been playing Connect 4 for the last 4 hours lol.


I got the gamer pic. the levels are fun as hell.

I've read nothing but love for the game online and I have to agree. This is pure platforming goodness!

 

[Chip Z]

Got the demo queued up. Looking forward to checking it out. Is it kid-friendly? Might like to try the co-op with my son (6).

I loved the demo and the co-op looks even better. Keeping the demo on my HDD to buy later. Trine and Wipeout Fury are my next downloadable purchases.

Bought this yesterday and had to stop myself after 13 levels just a really fun game. Twisted pixel is one of teh top XBLA devs and I hope MS makes it worth their while to keep making games.

 

[DaGamePimp]

It's fun but I can't see myself playing through it more than once so not sure it's worth the $10.

What level are you on?

 

[Sundull]

How many levels are there, and how long are they?


EDIT: I just looked at xbox.com and saw there are 50 levels in both the single-player and multiplayer campaigns. If they're a decent length, this may be worth to buy.

Got this tonight and man, this game is awesome. Some amazing platforming in this game and it's not easy. The demo levels are VERY easy. After that, it gets tough but in a very fun way. Easily worth 800pts.

I'm at level 2-9 so far. again brillant game so far. loved the pop reference after you beat the first boss. started dying so much I'm getting the way of the coward option quite often I took it once because the laser sentinels get annoying and had to play the whole next level with a tutu on splosion man.

I am level 1-9 now and the problem I am trying to find out how to get more momentum and height from my jumps when I explode from short distances. For example it took me 5 minutes(while my wife just laughed her ass off) jumping on those platforms that shift when you explode on them. When I would jump to the next platform with the grinder at the bottom I would just make it short of the jump. I thought if I was at the peak of my explosion I would gain more distance but instead it stops Splosion man in mid air and I just start dropping. Have you figured away to get more momentum in out of your explosions when dealing with areas with no barrels?

you gain more height when you explode in mid air than you gain distance. 90% of teh jumps in world 1 should only require one explosion. I only use multiple explosions in mid air to give me time for a platform to move into postion or change direction in mid-air, yes there's teh occasional gap where you neeed 3 explosions ot cross, for those you haver to get your rhythm down, if you use your explosions too rapidly they will interfere with teh previous one. two slow and you lose too much momentum on your jump.

The donut song cracks me up. Also,
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) Spoiler  
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) early in level 2 when you grab the scientist and jump down through the glass and ruin their birthday party. So many funny moments like that so far.

 

[whiskey > work]

played the demo and this game is pretty nuts! Tempted to buy this

 

[logicalnoise]

just beat single player and wow, such a good game, portal quality and matter of fact the ending is so weird odd and awesome that it rivals portal in shear coolness. outstanding credit vid along with two great credit songs.

 

[jhoff80]

One stupid little thing that I found hilarious in this game was the controls window. It actually lets you reconfigure the controls... sort of.

But yeah it's pretty awesome, and even after beating each level there's always going back for a higher score on the leaderboard if that's your sort of thing.

 

[jhoff80]

The ending of this game is absolutely ridiculous... in a good way.


Also, the premium theme sort of sucks compared to many others I've seen. Haven't gotten far enough in coop to comment on that but the single player was awesome (and finished just in time for Shadow Complex tomorrow.

)

fyi:

avatar awards will be added to splosion man
http://xbox.joystiq.com/2009/08/18/s...ards-revealed/

most likely anyone who has played this has already unlocked 2 awards (splosion man shirt for guys and sweater for gals). the big science logos are crazy to unlock (check link). avatar awards will be unlocked if you've already passed the requirement. i hope this holds true for any future awards

see this is why I like the 360 platform when trophy's get released for game after it comes out you have to redo everything.
