As you may know, Raskulls is a game we've been following pretty avidly at Destructoid, and we're proud to be able to show you exactly why we're so keen on it. This is part one of our spicy hot Raskulls coverage, as your humble Jim Sterling is joined by Phil Larsen of developer Halfbrick. 

During this video you'll get to check out the premise of the XBLA title, as well as the core gameplay and, most importantly, the humor. It's a very silly game, with a cute and bold art style, which is what drew me to Raskulls in the first place. 

Check out the video and stay tuned to Destructoid. A little later we'll be taking you through the multiplayer aspect of the game!

Very interesting little game, here. I'm curious to see how the difficulty plays in (outside of the MEGA challenge stages). I love me some hardcore platformers, and the block mechanics have a lot of potential.

Also, congrats on this exclusive feature. Curious to see more.

It reminds me of Castle Crashers a little bit. Which is a very good thing. I'm defiantly going to be following this one.

Haha, that was great. Looked like it had a bit of old school charm in the gameplay too. I love it.

I find it amusing that you both laughed at someone being beaten to death.

Things seem to be shaping up VERY well. The art and backgrounds look really polished, and it does look very funny, espcially that beating. Cracked me up, along with Jim's commentary.

This was the first vid that actually sold me on what the game is. It looks pretty good and has a nice wit about it.

Love the art style, love the humor, and the varied game play looks like a lot of fun. Will be watching for this on XBLA.
