Astro Bot might be all the rage right now, but Psychonauts 2 developer Double Fine has reiterated that it still isn't working on something related to corporate owner Xbox's now-massive slate of dormant platformers.

"We love platformers here at Double Fine, so imagine our smiles playing Astro Bot and seeing what ~seems~ to be a familiar face," the studio tweeted yesterday. "In 2013, we collaborated with Japan Studios on the Playroom's 'My Alien Buddy' and it seems like a version of our green friend is still on a rampage."
