OVERVIEW
Q-Games, developer of the award-winning PixelJunk series, returns this summer with a nostalgic take on the series with its new side-scrolling shooter, PixelJunk™ SideScroller. Based on the unlockable stage from PixelJunk™ Shooter 2, PixelJunk Sidescroller is a complex and dynamic fluid simulation system, which fills the game world with flowing liquids and hazardous gases, while putting a new spin on arcade shooters. Blast holes in walls or use your ship itself to drill past scorching hot magma. The fluids react in real-time to the player’s actions and to other liquids, creating unique and exciting situations with every play.
Dodge flurries of alien bullets and strategically upgrade weapons as you battle your way through sweeping stages full of hazardous fluid and endless shooting mayhem. Each player’s goal is to get to the end of each level, while gathering scattered coins for points and protecting themselves from the barrage of enemy attacks. Players can look forward to brand new levels and ferocious boss attacks along the way.


KEY FEATURES
Stages as Puzzles - Players attempt to change the terrain and environment around them to progress. It takes strategy, planning and addictive replay to succeed.
Vector-Like Visuals – Water, magma, metal – and many other exciting fluids – get the PixelJunk treatment. Dodge pixelated magma-splosions as you navigate your ship through various reinvented environments.
Customize Your Arsenal – Retrofit your ship to match your style of play on the fly by switching between sophisticated weaponry to suit your strategic needs. Search for hidden Power Up items and upgrade your arsenal of weapons to unleash massive destruction!
Fully Adjustable Difficulty – Fear not! Play at your own pace by choosing your preferred difficulty setting. Checkpoints are plentiful, so PixelJunk SideScroller will keep pulling you back with its bubblingly addictive gameplay.
Online Rankings and YouTube Uploading – Share your scores and game footage with the world.

Hmm. Bit disappoitned with this, to be honest. Shooter 1 and Monsters were among my top games of the past couple of years; Shooter 2 has left me slightly cold so far, but I've only just started.

Frankly, I was hoping Pixeljunk would be focusing on another genre for their next project.

I absoloutely loved Racers, Monsters, and Eden. Shooter was ok but lacked the challenge that their previous games had. I haven't played Shooter 2 as it looks like more of the same, and this once again looks like another PixelJunk Shooter.

Where's my PixelJunk Dungeons?

Shooter 2 is significantly more challenging than Shooter 1, sat. You might want to give it a go if you thought difficulty was what the first one was lacking. It's balls hard in places.

Sidescroller looks neat. I like how the series is just meandering on its own a little now. Hope it shouldn't take too long to pump out, with the fact that it's using so much from Shooter.
