OK, so it's not that Castle Crashers you're thinking of, but it might be just enough to hold you over until the game finally does come out for the Xbox 360. In this little flash game, you get to play as the Castle Crashers and fight Tom Flup's floating head and his demonic beard. As you fight Tom, you will level up, gain new weapons and avoid falling bread loafs.
So what's the deal here? Apparently, Tom Flup has vowed to not shave his face until the game comes out for XBLA. Whatever the case, we now have a small taste of what's to come from probably one of the biggest XBLA titles ever.

Also, this post smells like cat.
its Tom FULP
and the least you could do is link to the game on his own damn site:
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/429765
This game would be sweet on WiiWare too...
Also, bonus points for the ending parodying Super Mario Bros. 2.
When I got the last power up though I was like "what...?"
They did put it on Newgrounds. Hamza just didn't link to it. I tried this a few months ago, but fuck keyboard controls.
I remember how addicted to the site I was. Especially when it became newgrounds.
But other than that I totally want to buy this now.
Dammit! Now I have to buy more points.
Fool! Now you'll never get to play as the pink castle crasher with the rainbow-lollipop that fires bubbles!
Seriously, though, like Wiid Whacker says, if you get 950 exp, the screen turns pink, the announcer shouts "FABULOUS!" and you become a smiling pink crasher, your weapon becomes a lollipop that leaves rainbow trails, and your magic is bubbles.
PROTIP: Abuse the gravestones like mad if you want to reach that high.
That was Tom Fulp who voice acted da beard.
Also, hitting the gravestones will get you XP. group them all together (I think four total if you don't die) and you'll be level 5 before too long.
