Twisted Pixel has announced that Ms. Splosion Man is coming to additional platforms with a little help from developer friends Iron Galaxy, Fire Hose Games, and Panic Button. On PC (Games for Windows Live and Steam), you can expect to find 50 single-player and 50 co-op (local and online) levels, ghost replays, and more. As for iPhone, iPad and Windows Phone 7, the game will have "familiar content but all new features, objectives, and gameplay modes."
"This will be our first mobile game, and only our second Steam game," says Twisted Pixel co-founder Michael Wilford. "But it's very important to us that we have great content on these high-end platforms, so these new versions are being painstakingly crafted to be as awesome as possible. We're planning a lot of post-launch updates and support to make sure we get it right."
I'm reasonably sure that half of the reason these ports are happening is so that Twisted Pixel can continue to play dress up and call it "work." We need to get in on this scheme.
