I bring this to you at 2:00 am, recently announced was a follow up to 2009's mega popular 'Splosion Man' comes Ms. Splosion Man! Splosion Man is on the top, even above Super Meat Boy, of best Arcade games. So I'm incredibly happy to see a follow this game. I hope that they are able to capture the same vibe for both their single and multiplayer.

Here's the official Press release:

AUSTIN, TX – December 2, 2010 – Twisted Pixel Games was pleased to announce today that their subsidiary, Big Science, has captured the Splosion Man and guaranteed the safety of all humankind. Many remember the terrifying events of July 2009: Splosion Man's horrifying rampage through Big Science laboratories that meated hundreds of scientists and caused untold damage to their underground laboratories. Eye witnesses reported widespread destruction and a staggering number of t-bones and fillets left in his wake.
Today that ends, with Twisted Pixel releasing footage of the successful capture of the renegade experiment. The scientists speak with new-found confidence about their success. Says Dr. Wilson, "Even if some sort of newer, stronger, better threat were created, our newest security measures and fiendish traps would be more than enough to contain it. We've made incredible advances in our technology over this past year.... Not that there would ever be a use for any of it."
Dr. Henry was quick to add, "Our lab, our equipment - everything has had functionality improvements and visual overhauls, and our company has expanded to some incredible new locations. It's all pristine and beautiful - decadent environments that we are very happy no experiment gone wrong will ever rampage through." Dr. Henry paused briefly before continuing, "I don't even know why I'm mentioning that, because it's 100% guaranteed that Splosion Man will never be a threat to us again."
When asked if there was any risk of overconfidence amongst the scientists, Dr. Riley was quick to interject. "Why? What's going to happen, some sort of freak accident in the after party that creates a "Ms. Splosion Man" mere seconds after Splosion Man's capture? And then the Ms. Splosion Man goes on some monster tear in the fall of 2011? Yeah right. Not very likely."
Twisted Pixel Games reiterates that despite the fact that nothing could possibly go wrong during today's events, should any newsworthy event occur, they will release as much information as possible in the coming months.

While the press release didn't say too much specifically about the game, Ben Gilbert of Joystiq was able to interview Josh Bear about the new game.

Some notable Q and A's were:

What is the difference between Splosion Man and Ms. Splosion Man ... really?

Splosion Man has a penis, Ms. Splosion Man has a vagina.

We have to ask: Was Ms. Pac-Man an influence in creating Ms. Splosion Man? If so, how?

Ms. Splosion Man is an homage to Ms. Pac-man, where there were similarities in gameplay and look, but everything was just more polished and better all around. We have taken that approach with this game, to make sure it is more of what people liked about Splosion Man but also stands out on its own as a much bigger and better game overall, not to be confused as an over-priced DLC pack which I think a lot of retail "sequels" can be a lot of the time.

What kind of gameplay additions will we see, especially in co-op?

There is a lot of stuff we wanted to do in the first Splosion Man but just didn't have time for. We are revisiting some of that with Ms. Splosion Man, along with a bunch of other stuff. On the co-op side, we are revamping how we design the levels so that it is easier for four people to play at once, and that the online side of things runs smoother than the first one. It is going to be a lot of fun.

Is Ms. Splosion Man more complex, or does it maintain the simplicity of the first game?

Ms. Splosion Man carries on what we did with 'Splosion Man and adds more awesomeness. Even at this stage it is a lot of fun, and we are all looking forward to sharing it with everyone who enjoyed Splosion Man. And I think people that found the first game too hard or too frustrating will be happy with the balance we have found in Ms. Splosion Man.
