They twist the pixels, Capcom twists the knife
There's almost an amusing irony to this. Twisted Pixel approached Capcom to distribute their game, Splosion Man, on the iPhone, only to be rejected. Later, Capcom releases its own game, called MaXplosion, for the format. You'll see why this is significant when you watch a clip of the game in action.
MaXplosion is so similar to Splosion Man that it can't be just a coincidence. Practically everything is the same, with the few differences between the two games being trivial at best. MaXplosion is an anthropomorphic bomb with a lit fuse for a tail, and his enemies don't blow up into meaty chunks, but in all the ways that matter, the two games are nearly identical. This from the same company that sued Data East for making Fighter's History! There really are no more heroes these days.
