Anybody try this? I have Eden, but I don't really care for it. I like the way this looks, with the puzzle type level design.

I know at least Jinfash has played it, so impressions please.

online or offline?

This game also supports remote play, if that's a selling point to anyone

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #6 on:** December 11, 2009, 03:39:26 PM »

offline. didn't see any online modes. it seems that the levels are different if you play two player over 1 player. seemed like there were a few parts that wouldn't be possible if you only had one person.

demo y/n

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #8 on:** December 12, 2009, 09:19:44 AM »

No demo.

Bought it last night and it seems pretty good so far. Definitely not the most intense game out there but I kind of like the laid back pace of it.

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #10 on:** December 12, 2009, 03:31:09 PM »

I bought it, and like HSMP says its a pretty chill game. Only played the first level so far, but it seems decent for $10.

No demo is pretty dumb. It's even worse when CoD Classic has a demo on 360 and not on PSN. Sometimes I'm still amazed how behind PSN is.

I would think about getting it but I still have a lot more of Eden to play, and I bought Critter Crunch too and haven't had a chance to play that either. No rush.

MoxManiac · « **Reply #12 on:** December 12, 2009, 05:43:45 PM »

It's because Sony doesn't require demos like MS does, because Sony is stupid.

Bebpo · « **Reply #13 on:** December 12, 2009, 06:28:21 PM »

I hear it's fun but short. I got it through gamesharing and played the first stage and it was a bit slow and dull. I hear it ramps up in complexity fairly quick.

Then again I don't like Pixeljunk games. They are nice attempts but I find them all kinda boring. Eden was the best, but even that was repetitive and I got bored.

cool breeze · « **Reply #14 on:** December 12, 2009, 06:47:51 PM »

yeah, Eden was the only Pixeljunk game I liked. For all the praise monsters got, I didn't like it. Then again, I don't like tower defense games.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #15 on:** December 14, 2009, 07:36:11 AM »

I'm not a big fan of Pixeljunk myself but I gotta say that this is probably their most enjoyable title to date.....as long as you're into those falling sand games and laid back shooters. I swear I played a flash game that was pretty similar to this but I can't remember what its name was for the life of me.

Anyway, yeah, I actually like this.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #16 on:** December 14, 2009, 07:50:26 AM »

the game you're thinking of is called.... Falling Sand.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #17 on:** December 14, 2009, 07:54:47 AM »

I already said it was like falling sand but there's another game out there that's basically just like PJ Shooter. I just can't remember where I played it or what it's called.

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #18 on:** December 14, 2009, 10:32:43 PM »

Monsters Deluxe on PSP

I don't really care for Eden, to be honest. But I am really digging shooter right now.

Eden & Shooter are great games (latter is a bit too short though) and Monsters deluxe was one my favorite PSP games this year. I don't know what Groo is talking about

Eden is awesome, and I haven't actually played Shooter, but I know one of the guys at PJ and he's a bit of a twat, really. Hope it's not one of a.s.a.'s friends

From your earlier comment, it sounded more like a blanket statement. I only know one guy there, and he's alright -- though we only ever seem to meet overseas. $:-\$

Eden is cool, I'ma buy it as soon as I remember to buy points. I'll pick this PJ Shooter up just based on having another relaxing game I can play in front of my kids. So far the PS3 is winning over my overwhelmingly gory, scary, and SEXXY sexbox360 collection.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #20 on:** December 15, 2009, 07:51:16 AM »

I really like the gameplay of Eden, but the fact that you can't collect more than one seed thing really started to wear me down. I don't want to do the same shit 5 times.

chronovore · « **Reply #21 on:** December 15, 2009, 10:35:50 AM »

I know what you mean; a complete cockwad from a project I was on went to work for Pandemic in AU. After Mercs 1 I'd seriously thought about going to Pandemic, so I was all:

Just bought PJS, pretty cool little game.

Third · « **Reply #23 on:** December 21, 2009, 07:18:41 PM »

whoa, this game is so gooooood.
Still doing episode 1. Trying to rescue all those people and searching for treasures.
It's so addictive. I've replayed some of the levels like a doze times because those yellow men kept dying one me, or I accidentally killed them.
Probably the best PJ game thus far.

Himu · « **Reply #24 on:** December 30, 2009, 02:20:11 AM »

This game is awesome.

Got all the trophies two days ago. I hope there's DLC coming.

The end suggests so, so..

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #26 on:** December 30, 2009, 09:07:20 AM »

more fun than solo. the levels are different to better incorporate multiple users. well, as far as I've seen at least.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #27 on:** December 30, 2009, 10:14:46 AM »

i think this because there was a level in the second world that my friend and I played through that seemed to be impossible without two people. the way you needed to use the two ship modifiers together at the same time.

Rman · « **Reply #28 on:** January 01, 2010, 08:32:45 PM »

This game is fun. I've slept on this.

Thanks for the info, guys. I picked this up and it's a fun mellow game with good co-op.

Add me on PSN (chronovoreprime); we may yet play something together, you XBL Silver-totin' lowlife!

Not yet.

But they're going to implement online?

Rman · « **Reply #33 on:** January 02, 2010, 10:39:51 PM »

Who knows, honestly. They've supported their other games post launch, so it might happen.

chronovore · « **Reply #34 on:** January 07, 2010, 02:54:08 AM »

It's all good, Slime! I'll boot my PS3 sometime this week and let you into the exclusive Mr. Gundam and time-eater club. :-)

Then we can try the challenging game of getting an online game going on PS3 which is difficult even if you've got the time to devote to the effort.
