Comic jumper is funny a rare thing in games
Comic jumper is a XBLA game made by twisted pixels the people who made explosion man and The Maw. The game intends to be there first game that focuses on comedy even though the other games they made have some of the truly funny lines.
The game is set out in the failing comic of captain smiley and by the end of the first issues the comic get cancelled causing captain smiley having to guest star in other comics. This cause the game to have four different art styles mange, barbarian (rip off of Conan) , silver age and Captain smile comic. These four styles add variety to the game and help keep new charters coming in stopping the jokes getting old. The part where the game loses some appeal is in the combat where it becomes a bit of a bullet hell game causing you to avoid attack taking a lot of damage from each hit. The game helps this difficulty by having regular checkpoints.
All things said this is a very funny game and is worth checking out purple on the stories merits.
