PixelJunk™ Eden

Loved this game for PS3. I was sad to learn it lost the local co-op but figured on a sale it might be worth a fun bit of nostalgia. Totally unplayable. The resolution is off and can only see a part of the screen. Can't get to the menu and it's not worth it to muck around. I saw 13 year old pinned comment on the discussion board with people discussing manual fixes. Which means this will never be fixed, yet they are still selling it??? Should be removed from the store.

Classic from the PS3. What's it like? Sort of a 2D web-slinging platformer. It's simple and the focus is all on gameplay.

Not quite the same feeling playing with a mouse, you don't feeling the rhythm of the swings the same way as round housing a stick, but it's still a relaxing casual experience with a great soundtrack.

Good for getting your controller buttons all accidentally remapped while trying to figure out anything.

PixelJunk Eden is an inventive platforming experience that turns movement, exploration, music, and abstract art into parts of the same unusual design. Developed and published by Q-Games Ltd., the game approaches platforming differently from titles built around conventional running and jumping. Instead, players control a tiny agile creature called a Grimp and explore enormous gardens filled with strange vegetation, floating organisms, seeds, environmental hazards, and hidden Spectra. Its central appeal comes from learning how to swing through these environments while gradually causing the gardens themselves to grow. Movement is the foundation of the experience. The Grimp can jump onto plants, cling to vegetation, swing from branches, and use momentum to launch across large gaps. This makes navigation feel almost acrobatic once the controls become familiar. Successful sequences can be extremely satisfying, particularly when a swing carries the Grimp through several targets before landing safely on another plant. There is nevertheless a learning curve because momentum does not always produce the trajectory a newcomer expects. Mistimed releases can result in long falls, making patienc…

Beautiful awesome audio/visual game
