Leap into the first screens of Comic Jumper
13
After having to endure concept videos and shaky-cam gameplay, we finally have some real, honest-to-goodness screens of Twisted Pixel's upcoming Comic Jumper for you to rest your weary eyes upon. They're all lifted from the first "comic" of the game, "The Adventures of Captain Smiley," which Twisted Pixel has described jokingly as "kind of a crappy comic." Perhaps that explains why the titular hero will be busting out?
If your thirst for funny book action still hasn't been slaked, we hear you'll be able to see a demo of the game next week at PAX East. Can't make it to PAX East? We've got that very same demo in video format (direct feed this time!) after the break, along with a gallery of concept art for the game.

Wasn't that game amazing!? It was so innovative for it's time. I would play that game for hours a day.

It isn't a comic book game without horrific female physical proportions.

the minute I read the name Twisted Pixel I knew this would be an insta-buy.

Awesome I been wanting a comic book inspired 2d action game. After buying the genesis collection and reliving my days playing Comix Zone I really been wanting a game that has modern graphics. This looks like what I been wanting.

I'm not really feeling the "comedic banter", unfortunately.

The art style reminds me of 90's CD-ROM FMV games... yuck...

I like how he just ditched that chick to die. That was...unexpected. Fairly impressed by the lip-syncing animations. Never played Splosion Man, and played very little of The Maw, but this looks interesting. If repetitive, gameplay-wise.
