Q Game's Pixel Junk Shooter was released last year on the PlayStation Network, and by most accounts, it was pretty damn good. We would have liked to see some more co-op specific puzzles, but overall it was a beautiful and addicting game. G4TV talked with Q Games Founder Dylan Cuthbert about the sequel.
If there’s anything you can say about Q Games’ PixelJunk series of games, it’s that they exemplify gameplay mechanics in their purest form. The latest entry, PixelJunk Shooter is no exception.
The rumors are true, as the PlayStation Blog has officially confirmed Q-Game's Pixel Junk Shooter will be released on December 10th on the PlayStation Network. The two player local co-op game will cost $9.99 and feature slick 1080p visuals.
Rumor on the street is the next co-op Pixel Junk game is set to hit the PlayStation Network next week. Pixel Junk Shooter is a mix of strategy and action as players descend through caverns filled with lava, water and rock to rescue trapped miners. It's looks a bit like the classic game ChopLifter, except with absolutely stunning animations and visuals.
Game Name: PixelJunk Shooter Co-Op: Yes Co-Op Type: 2 player local co-op Publisher/Developer: SCEA (publisher) / Q-Games (developer) Release Date: Fall 2009
There's a new video from the San Diego Comic-Con show floor that shows Pixel Junk's next co-op creation called Pixel Junk Shooter.
Pixeljunk, a name in innovation and original content is bringing us something original, and innovative. Out of this latest Pixeljunk news, we get Pixeljunk Shooter, a co-op side-scrolling shooter that we can't narrow down to a type of game to compare it to. You are a ship of sorts, changing an environment by shooting rocks to blend lava and water together to make usable terrain, while saving miners stuck in these underground caverns. Given a certain quota of miners to save in each level, it's a good idea not to drown or boil them to death.
The above screenshot doesn't do Pixel Junk Shooter any justice, but the below video I'd say gives you a better idea of just how beautiful the game is. The latest in the Pixel Junk series from Q Games, Shooter tasks players with exploring underground caverns filled with lava, water, and dangerous enemies.
The Pixel Junk team has announced their next PlayStation Network game, one that was previously named Pixel Junk 1-4, has gotten a name and will be getting an upcoming demo. After taking fan entries, and receiving almost 10,000 of them, the official name of the game is Pixel Junk Shooter.
