Screwjumper! @ Xbox.com

A little more than a month ago, the wonderful world of ESRB exposed to us the upcoming (and still emphatically titled) Screwjumper!. Speculation said this game would arrive XBLA-style and so it shall.

Just uncovered in Microsoft's backyard: Screwjumper!'s very own xbox.com page. Developed by Frozen Codebase and published by THQ and is billed as an Xbox 360 Exclusive.

So what the heck is a screwjumper? or screwjumping? or whatever the heck this game is about?

Basically, it appears to be a modern Paperboy. But you dive into mines with your jetpack instead of ride a bike. And there are aliens instead of gray houses. And you shoot high explosives instead of papers. But it's still all about destroying stuff (I know I hated actually delivering papers).

No screens yet, but descriptions are up on the site now.
