Twisted Pixel Reveals Splosion Man Update and Promotions

Twisted Pixel Games has announced three new reasons to play Splosion Man on Xbox LIVE® Arcade during the next few weeks: free avatar awards, free meats, and improved online multiplayer. CEO Michael Wilford said “we’re excited because this is the biggest update to an existing game, with a lot of chances for players to score some free new stuff.”

• Avatar Awards - Now that the Xbox Dashboard fully supports awarding players with avatar accessories from within a game, a title update has been released early this morning to enable Splosion Man’s awardable functionality, making it the first game to provide this feature to players free of charge. Players who have already performed the achievement will be awarded their accessories at the main menu, while new players will get to see a preview of what their avatar looks like wearing the accessory. Players can win two male and two female accessories for free by playing through Splosion Man.
• Omaha Sweepsteaks - Ever wonder how those filets that come bursting out of Splosion Man scientists taste? Now you can find out! Twisted Pixel and Omaha Steaks have teamed up in order to deliver hundreds of top-quality steak filets to players. Register by downloading the special Splosion Man gamerpic on the Dashboard or on Xbox.com, and then receive one entry each time (up to 5 times) Splosion Man is played in an online multiplayer session before November 22nd.
• Online Multiplayer Fixes - Since the game’s launch, some players have encountered laggy online game sessions in certain network scenarios, including connections that frequently drop data packets. In this morning’s title update, those issues have been fixed so that all players can experience lag-free online multiplayer the way it was meant to be.
