It seems that Q-Games' modus operandi for the PixelJunk series of games is to take time-tested game concepts and tweak them into fresh and unique gaming experiences with a bold visual style. The new title, currently referred to internally as "1-4," looks to be drawing its cues from classic, shooter-based games like H.E.R.O. and Defender.

Don’t expect future PixelJunk titles to force you to go out of your way in order to get 100% trophy completion.

Every gamer should have a quality shooter in their repertoire, but quite often the feel of the game can translate straight to frustration, instead of fun. If the control scheme is too touchy or slow to respond, all other factors become irrelevant. No matter how gorgeous the graphics...

TheSixthAxis: 'Zuler's been at it again, this time bringing us some trophies for Pixeljunk Shooter, a good couple of weeks before it might release here and a month before it will release in Japan. He's away right now, though, so it falls down on my considerably manly shoulders to post them. Please, thank our dear Zuler in the comments.'
