The gameplay premise of PixelJunk Shooter couldn't be more simple. With everything based on what's basically a 2D plane, picking up the controller and getting started couldn't be easier. The game has you moving your ship with the left analog stick, and rotating it with the right. Missiles are fired from the ship by simply pressing the R1 button, and holding it will charge a barrage of homing missiles. But the game isn't as simple as it appears on the surface, not exactly just about blasting baddies in its subterranean caverns and tunnels.

Jake from PC Gaming Enthusiast reviews the former PlayStation exclusive.
He writes:
"The ultimate edition received a major overhaul, which includes graphics. The overall artist effort truly shines on the PC. The water in each level looks like it is actually flowing, with perfectly precise physics, and subtle depth."

If you know anything about Q-Games, you know that we made a name for ourselves during the PlayStation 3 era with our acclaimed PixelJunk series. Debuting way back in 2007, we were one of the first indies to cut our teeth on the newly released console. Our idea for the series was simple: rework old school gaming concepts in beautiful high-definition visuals, while keeping the easy to learn, difficult to master gameplay that made us fall in love with games in the first place.
