I guess the developer is trying to reach out to the people hoping for a Splosion Man PSN release.

I was thinking the same thing. Just started playing The Maw via Onlive and I'm sorta jealous that Twisted Pixel's games are for the moment, pc/360 exclusive.

The developer claims this game has been in development before Splosion Man was even revealed. So yeah, Splosion Man ripped off Explodemon for all we know.

@Kirkpad They were revealed the exact same day. Neither ripped off one another, it's just an amazing coincidence.

It chronicles the troubles and strives of explodemon since its inception, FOUR YEARS AGO. also it tells of the fateful day in april 2009 when both explodemon and 'splosion man were both reveal to both devs surprise.

Yeah, I remember being dumbfounded that two games were announced in quick succession in which the main character maneuvers by exploding himself.

Let's get over the who copied who garbage for a second. Splosion Man looked kinda fun, but from more of an arcade game, time trial, leaderboards kind of approach. Explodemon looks more like my kind of game, with some puzzles, maybe a little exploration... You know, more of a Metroid or Mega Man style platfformer than an arcade game. I'm looking forward to itt

Am I the only one who has the urge to pronounce this Explode-Mon, as if he were a Digimon?
