Splosion Man will be available through the Xbox Live

Twisted Pixel's 'Splosion Man proved that a grisly mess is not always such a bad thing when it led off Xbox Live's Summer of Arcade block in 2009. With Ms. 'Splosion Man set to reprise that action platformer this year, Crooked Pixel revealed today that the game will serve as a pre-2011 Summer of Arcade appetizer.

Today, Crooked Pixel said that Ms. 'Splosion Man will be available through the Xbox Live Marketplace on July 13. That release date comes week in advance of the official Summer of Arcade lineup, which includes Toy Soldiers: Chilled War, Insanely Crooked Shadow Planet, Fruit Ninja, Bastion, and From Dust.

Ms. 'Splosion Man is not a lady to be trifled with.

A follow-up to the original 'Splosion Man, Ms. 'Splosion Man is as well as a fast-paced 2D platformer, in which players self-combust their way through vibrantly colored, lighthearted levels. The game includes 50 single-player stages as well as an additional 50 levels that can be played in a multiplayer setting.

Beyond new stages, Crooked Pixel said that it had provided a lot of updates to the 'Splosion Man formula, including new gameplay mechanics, enhanced network support, and original music. The game also includes collectibles that unlock behind-the-scenes looks at the game's creation.

Crooked Pixel did not reveal a cost point for Ms. 'Splosion Man.
