Johnny Platform Returns To Save Christmas

If you missed Ishisoft's original Johnny Platform's Biscuit Romp, it had the distinction of starting off as a homebrew DS game that was ported to Xbox Live Indie Games. Despite the game's humble origins, it's a very entertaining 2D puzzle/platformer, and GamerBytes/XNPlay even rated it as one of 2008's Top 10 XNA Community Games.

Boasting 100 levels, this holiday sequel is nearly twice as big as Biscuit Romp. It also features "widescreen HD, new robots, explosions, and lots of sideways rolling", and Ishisoft promises that there's more than one song in the soundtrack this time. The developer hopes to have Johnny Platform Saves Christmas out on Xbox Live Indie Games "some time before Christmas".
