![[Press Release] Twisted Pixel Delivers New Ms. Splosion Man Challenge For Valentine’s Day](http://pixelatedgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Splode.png)
It’s been a while since the last one, but it seems Twisted Pixel will be hosting a new TMS Challenge for Ms. Splosion Man starting Valentine’s Day.
Titled “Shoot the Glass,” the third TMS Challenge will last through February 27th and involve, you guessed it, breaking several hidden glass panels as quickly as possible. However, there’s more to this challenge than just breaking glass in record time.

It seems whenever Twisted Pixel comes up, I have nothing but good things to say. Then again, given its small repertoire of quirky, challenging, and, most importantly, fun titles on the Xbox LIVE Arcade, it’s really hard to find fault.
Thankfully, with the recent release of Ms. ‘Splosion Man, the company’s reputation is not about to change.
An action platformer with a simple premise and an equally simple control scheme, the original ‘Splosion Man was a rich, complex, and absurd title that really showed off what Twisted Pixel had to offer. It was a game as unafraid of self-deprecation as it challenged its players with intense, pulse-pounding levels walking the line between complex and controller-breaking frustration.
Now, Twisted Pixel has taken the route Namco did with Ms. Pac-Man, giving the lead character a pretty bow and a feminine paint job. But just how does Ms. ‘Splosion Man stack up?
Twisted Pixel’s Ms. ‘Splosion Man is live on the XBLA Marketplace today.
The website of the game has been revamped, and Twisted Pixel has released a brand-new trailer for the game. They’ve also announced plans to leverage Microsoft’s Title Management Storage (TMS) system to release free, periodic new Challenges for players to accomplish within Ms. ‘Splosion Man on a regular basis. Each Challenge will last for a week, taking a level from the game and spicing it up with new rules and extra content.
The full press release, trailer, and a gallery of new pictures are all included below.
Twisted Pixel has set the price of its upcoming Mrs. Splosion Man at 800 Microsoft points.
Ms. Splosion Man is set to release on July 13 over the XBox Live Marketplace. The full press release is included below.
Well, Splosion fans, it seems the wait is almost over. Twisted Pixel recently announced that Ms. Splosion Man, the follow-up to 2009′s ‘Splosion Man, will be released on July 13, 2011. After getting the chance to play the game at E3 and during the Early Access Beta, it’s not a stretch to say that the game looks to be a pretty solid and fun follow-up to the original ‘Splosion Man, with new gameplay mechanics building on the already solid foundation of the original.
With the game’s release just a few weeks away, it’s quite difficult to not be excited. For more information, read the official press release below.
While it would seem Twisted Pixel’s Ms. Splosion Man won’t be hitting the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for another few months, Twisted Pixel and Microsoft will be giving a select number of gamers the chance to test out the beta for the multiplayer mode.
With 10,000 spots available, Ms. Splosion Man‘s Public Early Access Test will begin on June 6th and last until June 26th, with players receiving two multiplayer levels per week to test out with other players.
Earlier this week, Twisted Pixel began to stir some intrigue by announcing a new game mode they were working on for Ms. Splosion Man; 2G1C. However, instead of revealing the mode right off the bat, Twisted Pixel decided to play up the intrigue by revealing a series of four reaction videos on their development blog; videos that showed nothing except exaggerated reactions regarding the new game mode.
Now it’s Friday and, as Twisted Pixel had promised, the new game mode has been unveiled: 2 Girls 1 Controller.
When it comes to digital distribution and downloadable titles, there’s no game I’m looking forward to the more than Twisted Pixel’s Ms. Splosion Man. And, while the game still has no set release date outside of late 2011, Twisted Pixel isn’t being shy about building up the hype with mention of a new, secret game mode.
Twisted Pixel fans, do not be alarmed. Just because the indie development company is hard at work on The Gunstringer, its first Kinect title, it doesn’t mean that Ms. ‘Splosion Man is being shelved. To the contrary, Twisted Pixel has decided to share the fruits of its labor with a brand new gameplay video and some new screenshots.
Following the events of ‘Splosion Man, it appears as though Big Science Labs has finally managed to capture the manic, burning man terrorizing its lab. However, just as the company begins to celebrate, another freak accident occurs, this time creating Ms. ‘Splosion Man, a pink, burning woman. Needless to say, wacky, meat-filled hijinx ensue.
The lovely ladies and gentle-nerds at Twisted Pixel have decided that you need . . . MORE ‘SPLOSIONS! Not simply willing to rest on their laurels, Twisted Pixel has announced Ms. ‘Splosion Man for a 2011 release.
If you’re not familiar with Twisted Pixel’s work, you should A) be ashamed, and B) check them out post-haste. They’re responsible for some of the best download titles on the market, among them The Maw, and the critically-acclaimed Comic Jumper, as well as ‘Splosion Man. TP’s titles tend to be absolutely wacky and comedically-inspired, and Ms. ‘Splosion Man looks to be no different.
