7 Video Games That Let You Fight The Developers
3. Twisted Pixels - Comic Jumper
The development team at Twisted Pixel are an....interesting bunch to say the least. The sheer creative force of this group is enough to wipe the floor with most larger teams and seeing as their back catalogue contains the likes of The Gunstringer, 'Splosion Man, Ms 'Splosion Man and The Maw, it's clear that they know how to do raucous over the top fun better than anyone.
Enter Comic Jumper - The Adventures Of Captain Smiley which might well be one of the most meta and fourth wall shattering titles on the market. Here you play as a down and out comic book hero looking for new work after his own line of comics has failed.
Luckily for you, Twisted Pixels themselves is on hand to help out by arranging for Captain Smiley to earn some dollar by appearing as a guest in other comic lines.
This sees you jump through numerous art styles and storytelling tropes as you battle to make bank, yet all the while something seems a little off. Twisted Pixels make sure to throw every challenge they can, and upon reaching the end and seeing that they've taken all the cash and left Smiley with nothing, you realise you've been battling them the entire time! Twisted Pixels were the real villains! Shock! Gasp! Kazoow! etc.
It's a brilliantly hilarious moment and made all the funnier by the hilarious jabs the developer makes at smiley throughout his journey.
