Ms. Splosion Man is breaking out of her Xbox Live exclusivity. Developer Twisted Pixel announced that the fast-paced downloadable platformer is headed to PC and mobile devices this summer.

More specifically, PC versions of Ms. Splosion Man will arrive on Steam and Games for Windows Live, and mobile iterations are heading to Microsoft's Windows Phone 7, as well as Apple's iPhone and iPad. Twisted Pixel tapped outside developers Iron Galaxy, Fire Hose, and Panic Button to develop the various new versions of the game.

The PC version of Ms. Splosion Man will include 50 single-player levels, 50 co-op levels (playable for up to four players locally or online), ghost replays, achievements, and unlockables. Additionally, the iPhone and iPad iterations are being built specifically for the devices with various "all-new features."

Ms. Splosion Man arrived on the Xbox Live Arcade last summer to a warm critical reception. It is the follow-up to 2009's Splosion Man, and gamers at PAX East this weekend in Boston, Massachusetts, can try out the new versions at Twisted Pixel's booth.

Great game funny, fun, and challenging plus great multiplayer. My gf actually plays this with me and she really enjoys it plus all of puns. I 'd def recommend this, if u haven't already go ahead and check it out, it may not look appealing but the game is very entertaining.

My point is CAPCOM as a big developer and publisher is copying small indie developers. If it was the reverse they would sue Twisted Pixel for copying CAPCOM's precious ips. Shame and I used to love CAPCOM in the 90s. Now is up there with Activision on my boycott list.

Let me share an article from AppAdvice ( ipad app ). " year before the copycat controversy between social gaming giant Zynga’s Dream Heights and independent developer NimbleBit’s Tiny Tower sprang up last January, another big video game company faced accusations of ripping off another small developer’s popular game. The offending company then was none other than Capcom, which released an iPhone game called MaXplosion in January 2011. The wronged developer was Twisted Pixel, and the game that was allegedly copied by Capcom was its critically acclaimed 2.5D platformer for Xbox 360, ‘Splosion Man. Naturally, Twisted Pixel’s camp was none too pleased " Dont support CAPCOM!

What an obnoxious advert! It was hard to even see what the game was about.

At first glance I wasn't looking forward to trying this out, but thanks to my obsession with downloading every XBL Arcade/demo available I ended up trying Ms. Splosion Man. It's a ton of fun! Blowing stuff up never gets old and this game is full of entertainment.

@Zloth2 Exactly what I was thinking. Steam is enough, thank you very much. Nice to see it on WP7, though.

I hope they bring it to PS3 and Wii-U as well. I need more reasons to get a Wii-U.
