Fools they were, to tread where knowledge should stay forbidden.  For what emerged was not a man – it was a Splosion Man.  ”And all who saw him were sploded, for he was the fire and they were but meat.”   Able to splode himself at will, the Splosion Man launches his way through levels, an uncontainable force.  From Twisted Pixel Games, developer of the award winning “The Maw,” comes a single or cooperative multiplayer experience that splodes like no other.
