Twisted Pixel has unveiled "The Gunstringer," the studio's fifth game -- but its first to star a marionette bent on revenge. The announcement trailer depict a western setting with a cartoonish flair, blending 2D and 3D elements. In terms of how the game actually plays, all we know is that its 30 characters have access to weapons that are "unleashed through the player's gestures" --- see the video after the break for a full demo. The studio hasn't announced whether The Gunstringer will be a retail game or one of the first Western-developed XBLA games for the peripheral.

If you weren't lucky enough to make an appearance at Twisted Pixel's video shoot for the game last week, there'll be another chance to fraternize with the Texas-based devs at March's PAX East in Boston, where both Ms. Splosion Man and The Gunstringer will be playable.
