Pixeljunk Shooter is a straightforward concept - you take command of a ship which you fly though caverns with the mission of saving endangered miners placed throughout the environments. While you attempt to do this you have to combat a plethora of enemies.
The game is set in 'old school' 2D and it is none the worse for it either as the graphic style and overall 'feel' of the game is very charming and anyone with gaming history throughout the last decade will surely be reminded of 'better days'. The ship is easy to fly and the dual analog stick methodology comes into play - the left moves your ship and the right is used to aim. R1 and R2 shoot and L1 and L2 use the grappling hook.

Jake from PC Gaming Enthusiast reviews the former PlayStation exclusive.
He writes:
"The ultimate edition received a major overhaul, which includes graphics. The overall artist effort truly shines on the PC. The water in each level looks like it is actually flowing, with perfectly precise physics, and subtle depth."

If you know anything about Q-Games, you know that we made a name for ourselves during the PlayStation 3 era with our acclaimed PixelJunk series. Debuting way back in 2007, we were one of the first indies to cut our teeth on the newly released console. Our idea for the series was simple: rework old school gaming concepts in beautiful high-definition visuals, while keeping the easy to learn, difficult to master gameplay that made us fall in love with games in the first place.
