Splosion Man is back, but this time, the game has a more feminine twist. Ms Splosion Man is as crazy as her predecessor, but a little more pink and, with a few extra ribbons, they’ve also given her better powers.

The platform/puzzle game is fun and incredibly frustrating, with a main character that just can’t seem to stay still.

As the pink protagonist, you can explode almost at will, taking out the scientists who created you. You repeatedly die trying to escape and you can repeat the same actions over again until you either lose your sanity, or figure out a way around the level. Unlike other games, this isn’t off-putting; it adds to the challenge.

It's safe to say Ms Splosion Manis a bit different from your standard games fare. Funny and with plenty of levels to work through, it has lots of replay value.
