Rating 7.5/10

What is it?
2d sidescroller, controlling a ship to solve puzzles using water, lava and a magnetic liquid to save your crew members.

The Good:

+ The game's main premise has you navigating the enviroment, destroying the environment so that water and lava can mix forming new terrain for you to destory and progress further along. Keep in mind this is a simplified version of the game, as you progress the game introduces some new mechanics and ships to keep things varied.

+ Combing the different liquids together is really cool and adds a fresh new gameplay idea, combining different liquids together provides different results.

+Graphics fit the enviroment nicely

+ Some cool boss battles

+ Achievements are easy to get and shouldn't provide too much trouble.


The Bad:

- The game doesn't really take its ideas far enough leaving a very easy game. The game doesn't get that much harder as you progress either. I was a bit disappointed when I beat the game.

-Roughly 3 hours long, 5-7 hours if you go for achievements.

Conclusion

Although I had fun, I felt the game was a bit basic for my taste. I would have liked the game to be a bit more challenging especially in regards to the puzzles as the game does introduce some cool elements later on in the game.

An interesting shooter where you're flying underground to get treasure and rescue survivors (don't go trigger-happy; if too many survivors die, the game's over). A few interesting mechanics such as an overheating system and using flowing water (and lava) to progress to the next level make this different from other shooters.

PixelJunk Shooter is a surprising game. On one hand the premesis is simple and the difficulty is almost non-existant (at least until the third episode). On the other, the developers manage to get a surprisingly large amount of content out of that simple permesis and the game is able to feel fun and fresh throughout the entire run which is quite remarkable. Very little complaints from me as everything hits the mark amazingly well, though the final boss is a bit cheap at times and the game can be finished in around three hours.

So highly recommended.

Fun, unique, and colorful game. Gameplay is a mix of twin-stick type shooting and puzzle solving with magnificent fluid physics and a variety of abilities. Highly Recommended.

I had previously played PixelJunk's Eden, and silently vowed to check out any other game that they put out. I am not disappointed. This game offers a significant level of difficulty and a unique stage in which to enjoy its quirks.

love the overheating,
love the cooling,
love the magnetic fluid,
love the co-op,
love the stages and level design,
love the graphics and physics,
love the boss battles,
love the different fluid suits,
love the Pina Colada
love the ending.

Pixeljunk shooter sets out to be an exploration in space when in realisation you are just a tiny ship flying through large corridors with a few basic puzzles in your way.

PixelJunk Shooter is made by the Q Games. The developers we know and love.

Though the gameplay is fresh and fun I feel like the game is lacking something which you don't really figure out until you start playing with the game. I found the physics of the liquid made the whole game for me.

Yeah The End.

PixelJunk Shooter is a very surprising game. On one hand the premises is very simple, just a simple 2D shooter and the difficulty is almost non-existent for now I guess. Very little complaints as everything hits the mark very well, though I have heard the game is pretty short and the final boss battle is pretty cheap. But overall a great, solid, fluid physics shooter game!

First impression: this game is not as fun as it appears. It's far, far better.

Simple yet pretty sweet.
The art style is smooth, colorful and nice to look at. No pixel art ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ involved.
The gameplay is your typical twin-stick shooter business and it works pretty great. You go arround and shoot stuff while rescuing your little mates and look out for secrets.
The interactions with the liquid physics are pretty cool and work nicely. It's always satisfying to stare at a big waterfall dropping on hot lava.

I really don't have anything bad to say about the game so far.

Game Rating: B-
Pros:
-Unique, fun gameplay that requires both good reflexes and quick thinking
-Awesome liquid physics that changes how you play
-Dynamic music keeps the action tense
-Two player local co-op
-Lots of collectables make for some decent replayability

Cons:
-Main campaign is on the short side

a lovely relaxing shooter/puzzle with 0 difficulty but very entertaining gameplay.

A very fun little game that I first played briefly at a relatives house on the PS3 and just had to buy it for the PC. Cute graphics, simple but fun controls and the right level of difficulty and frustration. Would recommend this to anyone who wants something that is just a simple but enjoyable game. It's possibly a little short but I certainly can't complain given the price I picked it up for (89p). It is the kind of game I could only play for 30-45 mins a time, it's not one you'll play in long sittings, but that's not in a bad way, it's just one to pick up each day for 45mins and progress to the next stage.

I like this game!

Fun and puzzley - I don't like puzzle oriented games.
However, this was still fun. Nifty shootemup elemebnt kept me playing.

They throw curveballs, but it makes for a fun experience.
Story seems really sparse.

Great little physics based shooter, got in a bundle for a dollar. Totally worth it. Cool artstyle and nice soundtrack :)

Well-designed game, good attention to detail. The core theme is interaction between elements, there are some simple puzzles with interactions between various substances (lava+water make rock+steam for example), and some light shooter gameplay. Controls are tight and responsive, and I can see the potential for speedrunning here. The boss fights are suitably epic, artwork is neat and consitent with themes.

A fun game overall, will definitely check out the sequel when I get a ps3.

note: game is played best with a controller, having a twin-stick setup makes moving quickly a lot easier than with kb+m.

its ok

This is a very well designed and programmed game that diserves many positive feedbacks, The controls for the keyboard & mouse or the controller itself is very fluint and fun, this games has more objectives then just the story mode, you can locally play multiplayer with your freinds, its a very great game. I recorded some gameplay so i hope you enjoy :)
My score - 8/10
