Press Release
Guildford, England –
November 4th 2011 – Hello Games, the bright UK indie start-up,
today announced that everyone’s favorite stuntman Joe Danger will
be blasting onto Xbox LIVE Arcade this holiday season.
Speaking earlier today founder Sean Murray, said; “We’re stupidly excited to be coming to XBLA, it’s frankly the most exciting day in Hello Games history so far. It's such an amazing opportunity for us to finally be able to reach all those millions of beautiful XBLA gamers. My brother has a 360, and he says he'll buy it for sure. Well, he promised he'll download the Trial at least.”
Hello Games also announced that the critically acclaimed Joe Danger Special Edition will come with huge additions and improvements, exclusively to Xbox LIVE Arcade.
Sean added “This is a game we care so much about, we couldn't wait to go back and refine this idea we’ve now watched hundreds of thousands of people play through. We've basically added a whole new game’s worth of content too, including all new challenges, gameplay modes, and some awesome playable characters to unlock. The main addition is the Laboratory though. It's sort of a masterclass, a set of developer challenges that will test 360 gamer's to their limit."
Speaking of their future “Hello Games is still a small team independently making games that we deeply care about. We're currently developing Joe Danger Special Edition, Joe Danger 2 : The Movie, and two unannounced titles. When Microsoft approached us with this opportunity, we knew the fit was a good one, and it's important to us that Special Edition was developed personally by Hello Games. It allows us to focus on doing what we enjoy most, making a great game.”

From Hello Games, the young UK indie start-up, comes "Joe Danger Special Edition" exclusively for Xbox LIVE Arcade. In this fast, fun and frantic download title players wear the cape of the world's most determined stuntman - Joe Danger.
From humble but dangerous beginnings, old-school Stunt hero Joe, publicly humiliated by the reckless Team Nasty at the start of the game, competes to regain his reputation as the Master of Disaster.
Race against your rivals, out-thrill your friends and defy death to defeat the dastardly Team Nasty. Across over 100 eye-poppingly gorgeous and eye-wateringly dangerous levels take Joe on the ride of his life and go from zero to hero.
Special Edition! With double the game play time of the original, Joe Danger Special Edition features a whole extra career to take on, including all new challenges, gameplay modes, and some awesome playable characters to unlock. You can even take a peek ‘behind the scenes’ with the insane laboratory levels and learn the secrets of the developers in the ultimate Joe Danger master class.
Stunt, Create and Share! Freeze the game at any point to enter edit-mode and change your world any way you want. Put a ramp down just before you land or place a ring of fire just before you go through it. Create the most ridiculous stunts you can think of, then use them to smash some World Records! Share your creations with all your friends and torment them with your devious creations.
Physics with Cartoon Timing! “Joe Danger” uses advanced cartoon physics to create a world ripe with slapstick humor. Laugh in the face of Danger, but it laughs back when you crash, as you bounce from boulder to boulder, on fire, towards a pile of giant mousetraps.
Battle your Friends! Take on your friends to compete in outrageous Split Screen face-offs. Tricks earn boost which gives player’s the ability to gain ridiculous speeds and pull even bigger tricks. Master your motorbike, then take on the World with your high-scoring Combos.
ABOUT HELLO GAMES
Hello Games was founded by a band of four friends who had climbed their way to the top of the pile at great developers like Criterion, Sumo, Kuju, EA and Climax. They have decided to set forth on a brave journey of discovery and adventure to bring some new, funky coloured pixels to the world.
They have loved every minute of helping to create great games like Burnout, Geometry Wars Galaxies, Sega Superstars Tennis, MotoGP and Black – but it’s come time for them to forge their own path. They must unleash the charm and creativity that has been stopping them from sleeping at night. Joe Danger is their first title, a triple A game developed by the talented team of four.
