Comic Jumper's been available on XBLA since Wednesday, but I've been busy/sick/in Texas, so I've been behind. Here is the belated fourth and final installment of our exclusive preview of Comic Jumper: The Adventures Of Captain Smiley. Josh Bear and Michael Wilford from Twisted Pixel were kind enough to show us the game, and give us irreverent bits of trivia at the same time.

I should warn you that this video segment contains footage of a manga rainbow unicorn. I've never met anyone who'd get offended by that, but it seemed like it could use a disclaimer anyway.

In addition to the first, second, and third parts of this video exclusive, Nick Chester has also posted his review of the game. Go forth and feast your eyes.

"manga rainbow unicorn. I've never met anyone who'd get offended by that"

That level offended me in every way. Easily the worst in the game.

When the girls are defeated why do they hold their stomachs? Were they impregnated by him shooting "love" at them.

I agree with Comrade. I enjoyed the characters and dialogue, but it's at that point I started to hate the game, especially at the one boss. JUST BECAUSE YOU ADDRESS THE BOSS IS BULLSHIT IN AN IRONIC MANNER DOESN'T MAKE IT OKAY TO BE BULLSHIT.

I was hoping for alot in Comic Jumper but im disappointed. Sure the game has humour on occasions, but has so damn boring and repetetive gameplay its insane. Feels like it got a good review on Dtoid just cause they are friends with the devs, if this was the same game with another name/dev, i think it would have been different.

I downloaded the trial and its alright, the controls take a bit to get used to but, and I know this will sound bitchy but the fact you can't obtain more health in levels and such is a real flaw, if they wanted to put that in make it for a harder difficulty

I'm agreeing with the sentiment here... even if I've only just played the demo. I WANT to like the game... and the presentation seems great but the gameplay just seems so boring and blaugh.

Comic jumper is about the best game I haven't really enjoyed playing.

@ArrestedDeveloper: Same feeling here. It's reminds of how pissed I'd get playing contra, buy with contra I KNEW it was my fault. With comic jumper, I feel like the controls hold me back.

After two really good indie games in "the Maw" and "splosion Man" I was hoping comic jumper would be really good, but the controls are horrible from the get go, and the jokes get old after about 5 minutes. I'm all for the lack of health in the level if they fix the controls, but expecting someone to run, use the right stick to aim, right trigger to shoot and jump just isn't possible with the control set up. It's like they couldn't think of a way to make the game difficult without giving it shitty controls. The entire game comes off as lazy programming, I would personally give this game a 3/10 just because there first two outings were really good games, they had flaws but nothing this bad or annoying.

@scrappy doo
Why does comic jumper suck? i agree in a lot of ways it does suck but just posting "comic jumper sucks and isn't funny" is like saying the earth is round and has lots of people. can you back that statement up with some valid points as to why it sucks? The jokes aren't the best but at first i laughed then i cried at how they just kept repeating.
