This loony, breakneck, tough-as-nails 2D platformer is a great way to kick off the Summer of Arcade and totally worth your $10.

'Splosion Man's Co-Op Action





A 2.5D side-scrolling action-platformer from Twisted Pixel featuring a military experiment gone wrong, resulting in a molten man who can ’splode at will!
Overview
'Splosion Man is a platforming-action game by Twisted Pixel, the indie game developer who brought you The Maw. This 2.5D side-scrolling game features a military experiment gone wrong, resulting
in a molten man who can ’splode at will! He is your basic platforming character except for the fact that to get around he can explode to get past tough jumping puzzles. The game features 100 total levels, half being cooperative multiplayer levels and the other half being the story mode, "chock full of hilarious cinemas seamlessly integrated into gameplay, [and] epic boss battles".With the face buttons allowing the player to 'splode at will, the 'spolsions act as a jump button, propelling the 'Splosion Man forward. 'Sploding near walls will cause rebounds and will allow for ways to traverse gaps and chasms. Precise timing and quick thinking is required to get past later levels. 'Splosion Man has a finite number of 'splosions (three per jump) though in later levels small fire vents allow 'Splosion Man to have an extra 'splosion. 'Splode.
The multiplayer co-op mode involves 2-4 'Splosion men traversing through levels together, trying to reach the end while incorporating cooperative elements such as appropriately coordinated 'sploding.
'Splosion Man has also been adding questionably accurate words to the English language, such as the obvious "'Splosion" and other words such as "'Splodalicious" and "'Splodaliciousness". Obviously, this game has a unique sense of humor. In addition, the scientists and other organic meatbags explode into bouncing, flying pieces of meat and steak when they are exploded. Instead of bloody gore, the scientists here explode into cooked cow and pig products. How charming.
