Two more PixelJunk games for PSN

By Robert Purchese Published 19 February, 2008

Eden and Dungeons.

Q-Games has said it has two more PixelJunk games in development for the PlayStation Store.

The first of these will be PixelJunk Eden, an abstract puzzle game that bears a passing resemblance to LocoRoco. You are a little blob and have to eat pollen and birth flowers and become a part of the environment around you.

It's bright and colourful and was described as "kind of like an organic Mario" by studio boss Dylan Cuthbert at the Independent Games Summit in Japan earlier this week (reported by Gamasutra).

With a proposed development time of around six to seven months, Eden should be out very soon indeed - work began last June. Pop over to YouTube to see it in action.

The other title to come is PixelJunk Dungeons, a top-down dungeon crawler, although little else is known about it.

PixelJunk Racers and PixelJunk Monsters are the two already available on PSN. The former is a racing game where you have to dodge traffic while gaining speed around a little track, while the latter is a real-time strategy affair and rather good at that.

Despite all being very different, Cuthbert is keen for us to get to know the PixelJunk name and its emphasis on "simplicity, familiarity, and originality", which is why they all carry the title.

Pleased to meet you, PixelJunk.

    haven't played racer but i dled monsters and it's really good fun. i've eaten up hours playing it and for £3.50 it was well worth buying. eden looks a bit 'out there' but i hope it will be good.

    Monsters is AWESOME.

    I love racers - but it's a bit marmite apparently. Once you get over the fact it is not Super Sprint and realise how much variety they packed into a simple concept it's great fun.

    Dungeons sounds quite cool. Probably jumping the gun but an PSN or XBLA Angband/Roguelike would be great.

    Eden looks great, I loved LocoRoco and the more games that take a page from its book I can play the better, especially in the shape of a download game!

    PixelJunk Monsters is eating hours of my life at the moment.

    I don't care that Monsters is a Tower Defense game dressed up for the PSN casual crowd, I love playing it. Yes there are many TD games on the net (Free) and indie ones too (some great ones) but for £3.50 this is one hell of an addicitve game to chill out with (or start panicking with when the waves start coming thick and fast).

    Games like this are much better than the retro arcade shite I had to endure on XBLA (even though I did buy Galaga so my own fault - the pinball game was cool on XBLA though).
