The prominent PlayStation PixelJunk franchise went to Facebook with PixelJunk Monsters Online, and now the series’ acrobatic trip-tastic platformer, PixelJunk Eden, is coming to Steam.
Available next week, on February 2, the main game will include the “Encore” DLC expansion, and the full chemically augmented soundtrack by Baiyon will be sold separately [Ed. note: Finally!]. The regular price will be $10 for the game and $6 for the (17 song) soundtrack, but both items will be discounted 20 percent for a limited time after launch.
“Lots of stuff is new – the main cool feature is that your Grimp (the little character you control) now has the ability to warp back to his last resting position!” Q-Games’ Dylan Cuthbert said of added features in the Steam version. “It uses a little bit of your energy but if you’re careful you no longer have to worry about missing an important jump – fall too far, just hit space and warp back.”
“Also, rather than having to collect all the Spectra (these are the objects that let you grow your main garden) repeatedly we now save your progress in each garden, so you can just start from the last Spectra you grabbed when you go back in.”
Hurray for Eden taking away its buzzkill elements! It’s all about the flow, man.
