Indie studio Curve has released the first trailer for its upcoming PlayStation Network title, Explodemon today. Here it is!

Okay, so "first trailer" isn't entirely accurate. We'll posted a trailer before, but according to the developer, this was only "pre-vis" concept footage. What you're seeing now, we're told, is a much better look at the final product. Curve says it's "an explosive homage to SNES-era platformers mixed with a modern physics-puzzle twist." Translated that means "it looks awesome," I'd.

What do you think?

Looks like a less funny version of Splosion Man.

I do kind of wish he had a hand-cannon...but that would probably be asking too much.

It's about time they came out with something that helps to differentiate this in our minds from 'Splosion Man. Looks neat.

Art looks like it was done in flash... and not the good, Behemoth, kinda flash art... more like shape tools, gradients and no sense of contrast... oh god the gradients... gradients everywhere.

Looks fun, but in a world where 'Splosion Man already exists, what makes me want to buy this instead of that?

Wow. I'm not huge into platformers but it looks fun. Might actually purchase this. Thanks

Cool. I've always wondered what a low budget version of Splosion Man made in Flash would look like.

I'm counting 'Splosion Man, Mega Man and Metroid (the running + breaking through walls). Am I missing anything?

Eh, that doesn't mean it can't be fun.

So.. I think it looks like another game, (that which has been, but should not be, mentioned) with a few art style elements from the most Mega of Mans.

I yawn. Boring. Also, not a fan of Twisted Pixel, so anything like their games I tend to shun.
