Smileyface as a hero!

Since I first watched the teaser for this game a fair few months ago, I have been waiting impatiently for more news on this game. Finally Twisted Pixel revealed more about the it. If you didn’t had the opportunity to watch their demo of the game at Austin’s 2010 SXSW, you can attend this years PAX in Boston and find Twisted Pixel at booth number 601, where they will show the game once more. Times for the show-off is 1pm, 3pm and 5pm. And I mean literally show-off – this games looks truly amazing. Youtube videos for both teaser trailer and gameplay at the end of the article.

From the official press release

The demo consists of the game’s protagonists Captain Smiley and Star moving through the first comic book, The Adventures of Captain Smiley, where they must thwart a bank robbery by the crazed Dr. Winklemeyer and Smiley’s arch-nemesis Brad. The first comic features tons of written dialogue and voice acting, graphics that conjure the epic splash-page comics from the 90’s, gameplay modes ranging from melee to shooting to riding a Brad-bot down the side of a building, intense panel-jumping transitions, and an unforgettable Brad theme song that you hear while doing battle with Brad before the demo comes to a close.

Seriously… a smiley face on top of a huge Hulk-wannabe-body and with a talking star on the chest? How much better can it be? Twisted Pixel did a good job on making it very cartoonish style, with text, speech bubbles and more. The only tiny bit I noticed was that Captain Smiley moved his legs faster than he himself was moving, which made it awkward looking.

- There is unfortunately no words about the release. Yet! Stay tuned.
