I’d argue thatExplodemon!is a terribly silly-sounding name for a game. But God damned if it doesn’t look slick, setting off just about every retro alarm in the Destructoid offices (this also involves sprinklers and string cheese).

In development by Curve Studios for PC, PlayStation Network, and WiiWare, the game looks like a fresh take on classic platforming titles, with a look and feel clearly inspired by Capcom’sMega Man. As the studio itself name-checks the Blue Bomber, Mario,Halo, andHalf-Life 2in describing the game… and that should really say it all.

You can check out the video after the jump, which shows offExplodemon!‘s platforming and exploding game mechanic that defies description… mostly because I’m not sure what the hell is going on. But I don’t care, because it looks really, really damned cool.
