A BrutalGamer.com review.
The guys and gals over at Q games have earnt themselves a great reputation for off beat downloadable titles that offer great gameplay as well as unique visuals. Pixel Junk Shooter does not disappoint on this front at all. Pixel Junk Shooter was named by the community via a competition on the Q Games forums. A snappy title indeed but it does not do justice to the actual game in hand. Sure there is plenty of shooting involved but it is used as a mechanic to solve the intricate natural puzzles of the caverns. I shall elaborate further later on but for now let us deal with the scant scant story behind the game. You have been sent on a mission to find out what has happened to a group of colonists sent to a far flung planet. On receiving the SOS signal from the planet you head down to see what is going on. You discover the scientists all stranded and in need of immediate rescue from caverns of fire and water. You set about rescuing said individuals (Who all signed a waiver no doubt and were happy to get the pay until the thing went south – feck them I say, their on their own but I digress). And that is pretty much the story.

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."
i love all the pixeljunk games and bought every one available for the ps3. not sure if it's worth buying again for the pc

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.
