The positive buzz surrounding next week's XBOX Live Arcade release of 'Splosion Man got me thinking "hey, what about that other exploding-guy 2.5D platformer that was announced around the same time?".

After a bit of net-detective work I found it. Explodemon is the name, and not much is known about this other explosive action-platformer other than it's being developed by curve studios and that it's "a loving parody of badly translated (Japanese) action games and everything that they embody"

Explodemon is scheduled for release on Playstation Network (PS3), PC, and WiiWare (Wii) sometime this year.

Here is footage from what I'm guessing is the PS3 or PC build.



Will the mock-Mega Man motif be enough to set this apart from 'Spolsion Man? Hopefully we'll find out sooner rather than later.
