TA Plays: ‘Ms. Splosion Man’ – A Solid Port Of A Great XBLA Platformer

TouchArcade Rating:

We’re guessing you’ve already heard this, but just in case: Twisted Pixel’s mobile port of Ms. Splosion Man ($2.99) is now available on the App Store. “Port" feels like a good word to use here, too, since the game’s a pretty faithful reproduction of the XBLA version. It does have IAP for power-ups and level progression, though, which is new to Ms. Splosion Man overall.

If you’re hungry to see this in action, give this video a look. Eli and I spent some of our post-GDC time with the game this afternoon, pounding through a level before getting in trouble with the first world’s last boss encounter. You’ll probably walk away with a good impression of how this game rolls mechanically and tonally. That’s cool, right?

If you’re into platformers, you should have probably grabbed this yesterday. It’s pretty good.
