XBLA: Twisted Pixel Reveal Comic Jumper

Although 'Splosion Man is now out and doing well on the Xbox Live Arcade, that's not stopping Twisted Pixel, no sir! At their Penny Arcade Expo booth they have revealed their next title - Comic Jumper: The Adventures Of Captain Smiley.

It's strictly a teaser video - it does not mention any specific platform -but then neither did 'Splosion Man at first. There is no in-game footage, but it looks like it might be 2D like 'Splosion Man, but with weapons.

The game will have Captain Smiley going through many different graphical styles as he jumps from comic book to comic book - some mock-ups make it look like he'll travel through a Powerpuff Girl book at some point, and another being Sin City styled.

It looks alright - I'm not as big of a fan of the character design as I was for 'Splosion Man or The Maw, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully we'll hear more about the game soon.
