Our take on PixelJunk™ Shooter

The bounce point arrives when shooting alone stops being enough. Progress requires reading cavern layouts and manipulating water, magma, or the magnetic black liquid, so players who do not want environmental puzzle solving may stall at those systems.

What is PixelJunk™ Shooter?

Pilot a spacecraft through underground caverns while rescuing scientists and stranded survivors.

Progress relies on observing each environment and manipulating water, magma, and a strange magnetic black liquid to navigate its puzzles. Enemies and hazardous substances create additional dangers during the mission. The game includes 15 stages, retro visuals, and a soundtrack that reacts to the level of danger. Local cooperative play allows a friend to join the rescue mission.

How PixelJunk™ Shooter plays

01Environmental manipulation: Water, magma, and a strange magnetic black liquid are part of the cavern puzzles.
02Fifteen stages: The game includes 15 stages featuring cavern environments, enemies, and hazardous substances.
03Reactive soundtrack: The music changes in response to the danger level during play.
04Local cooperative play: A friend can join the spacecraft missions.
