Synopsis

Comic Jumper: The Adventures of Captain Smiley (also known simply as Comic Jumper) is an action video game developed by Twisted Pixel Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios. It was released for Xbox 360 through the Xbox Live Arcade Marketplace on October 6, 2010 as part of Microsoft's Game Feast promotion. It was first announced on September 4, 2009 at PAX with a first trailer. This is the third original game created by Twisted Pixel following The Maw and 'Splosion Man, all three of which were exclusive to Xbox Live Arcade.

In Comic Jumper, players control Captain Smiley, a comic book hero whose comics are poorly received. Seeking help from Twisted Pixel himself, he "jumps" into other comics, hoping to capitalize on the popularity of each genre. As he enters each comic genre, his design and weapons change to fit the comic's style. The game received above average reviews, with game aggregators GameRankings and Metacritic averaging 74.72% and 73/100, respectively. In its first month, Comic Jumper sold over 40,000 copies, and by the end of 2011, over 103,000 copies. Reviewers praised the game's humor, saying that the game featured several laugh-out-loud moments and an excellent comedic delivery. The game's difficulty has been compared to games from the 16-bit console era.
