As the skewed humour of 'Splosion Man and Comic Jumper have proved, Twisted Pixel is no ordinary developer. Ahead of the announcement of its latest project, it discusses digital sales, the power of personality, and mixing funny and videogames.
Meta announced it has acquired developers Twisted Pixel, Armature Studio, and Camouflaj.Twisted Pixel is known for The Maw,‘Splosion Man,Ms. Splosion Man, Comic Jumper, LocoCycle, and Wilson's Heart. Armature Studio developed the virtual reality version of Resident Evil 4. They also recently released Where the Heart Leads. Camouflaj is the studio that developed Marvel's Iron Man VR and Republique.
I always said that MS should have purchased Twisted Pixel way back when they made MS Splosion Man.
Not sure what they have been up to lately, but I loved the humor found in their games.
Oh no. We need Microsoft to look at what Meta is aiming to purchase so that they can buy 'em before Meta can so that they can save us from Facebook.
A new trailer accompanies the announcement.
Neil writes: "It may be hard for many to believe, but it's been a decade since Twisted Pixel Games were right at the top of their game, delivering experiences filled with humour, clever ideas and utter madness. While it may have been the success of The Maw and the outstanding 'Splosion Man which really thrust them into the limelight, Comic Jumper was still a pretty damn brilliant playthrough too - and right now that playthrough is free to take in thanks to the game being gifted to all via the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for May 2019."
Everyone forgets about The Maw. The Maw is the best game they've done yet snd gave me promise in them as a developer. I just don't see that kind of character and design in either of the other two games.
