I love it. I was totally sceptical about it after playing the demo the other day but it’s all just clicked into place now. I totally get it and I love it. The music is out of this world awesome with hard hitting beats, Brian Eno-esque ambient squelches and even human breath and “scoo-pip” samples.
The controls are a lot tighter than you first think they’re going to be too. They just take a lot of practice and eventually you will be able to string tons of moves together.
It’s also fun. It’s got that Ratchet & Clank bolt collecting factor. That will just see you getting addicted and washed away with this game. Trust me the time will just tick away without you even noticing.
Essentially the premise to PixelJunk Eden is collecting pollen (by attacking little starfish people) to fertilize plants which take you higher so you can collect Spectra. Spectra are little glowing things. It’s all very cool.
You play as a tiny little dude on the screen who has the ability to jump in any direction and can swing around for a short period of time. It’s a small amount of moves but the simplicity does not make the game easy. This is a tough, tough game to get through and requires skill and accuracy. Both of which you’ll earn with practice.
You may have already watched the video I put at the top of this post which is actually me playing. This game has YouTube integration which essentially allows you to record yourself playing the game and then upload the resulting video directly to YouTube. It asks for your username and password and then — there it is. It’s on the Internet for everyone to see. It’s a great idea, I’m not sure how useful it is, but great. As you can tell from my video I was just testing it out and will probably never use the functionality again but I’ve already seen some awesome playthroughs submitted by other people.
You can play the game with 3 players or alone and there are plenty of scoreboards and trophies to keep you coming back.
PixelJunk Eden continues the work that fl0w started — it creates a relaxing, slow and easy video game world but it builds on it by adding bags of depth and plenty of game.

Relaxing, with a bit of challenge.

There's something about PixelJunk Eden, and its expansion Eden Encore, that draws attention to it. The art style is unique, and it turns heads. It's a simple enough game that people are willing to stop for a few moments and try to figure out how the game works; after a ...

Is it a good game?

The art design of this game is exquisite, and the gameplay is unique. I appreciate what I think they were trying to do here.I enjoyed the first two or three gardens, once I got the hang of the gameplay mechanics, they were easy enough to be almost relaxing. But as ...
