Review: 'Splosion Man

Sadly, I knew I was going to get Splosion Man as soon as it was announced, since I've been stalking Twisted Pixel after playing The Maw. The press release for it was genius as well. (announce the game April 1, another release April 2 that basically said 'no really, we're making it!')
I love this game so much! <3
Also, more games need to be 2-4 hybrid local and live multiplayer. So very awesome!

I'm almost sad I won a code for this game from a contest. I actually WANT to pay them for it.
I'm also proud to say I never used way of the Coward throughout the entire game. I made myself refuse to use it. So due to that, certain sections of certain levels aggravated me to no end. After a lot of perfecting the routine getting through those parts was extremely easy.
The issue I have is, some parts that should have been ridiculously difficult I completed by just being a lucky son of a bread loaf. Those parts I got in one try without even knowing what i just did other than it worked bugged me. Oh well.
I enjoyed it.
The soundtrack (not just the donut song) is pretty much full of win.

Thanks for the review. Honestly hadn't heard of it before, but after reading it I downloaded the trial. It was easy, and far too short, but the simple game mechanic combined with all the possible usages for it seems extremely interesting. Even the three levels in the trial were fun, however it seemed far too short. I suppose that's how they hook you. Games with twenty different functions can be enjoyable, but there comes a time when all a game needs to be great is a d-pad or joystick and one or two buttons, this seems like one of them.
Just bought it, mostly due to this review. Looked amazing, is amazing. Simple, mostly mindless fun. Well worth the price. Only downside is getting doughnut song stuck in your head for days, although that's not really a downside considering how fun it is to sing. Not that I'd ever sing in the shower or in the car on the way to work. *Cough*
Yeah, it's really soothing. Could market tapes of lullabies as a natural alternative to sleeping pills!DaBozz said:
It's such a great feature that it makes the game less frustrating just by being there. I haven't used it yet, but when it comes up, there's always a sense of relief. I'm no longer trying to get past this part because I have to, I'm trying because I want to.Susan Arendt said:
So far the only complaint I have about the game is that the ability to grab onto ledges leads to more annoyances than helpful situations. This is due in part to the game's very literal interpretation of the phrase "perfect timing."
