Played this back on PSP and it’s still a really fun tower defense. Simple, charming, addictive, and surprisingly challenging.

Best game everrrrrr. Best soundtrack everrrr. Hottest and the illest swag that came outta 2008. 10/10 will play this for the rest of my life bro.

If you aren't playing pixel junk monsters you are a moron.

A pretty fun whimsical game ^^ tho it can be quite difficult for being a casual kinda game
