Update: OUT NOW -> http://store.steampowered.com/app/105800/

Kyoto-based Q-Games revealed today that its PSN title PixelJunk Eden would be headed to Steam.

Priced at US$9.99, the Steam version will include the game's "Encore" DLC pack. Eden's full 17-song soundtrack, which includes unreleased tracks, will be available via DLC for $5.99.

For the Steam version, the game has been retuned. The Grimp, the little character you control, now can warp back to his last resting position in the Steam version. You can also save your progress in each garden in Eden.

Excellent news for those without a PS3. It's the best in the series.

I'm probably going to double dip.

 

[V_Ben]

Yeah, buy this one people. It's absolutely incredible.

 

[test_account]

Cool that more people get to play this game. I really enjoyed Pixeljunk Eden

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Huh, interesting. Hope they do a demo, would like to try it out again.

I loved the music and style of it on PS3, but didn't enjoy the gameplay at the time.

 

[Betta Lines]

Oh! I assumed they were a Sony studio.

 

[V_Ben]

Oh! I assumed they were a Sony studio.

Nah, Q is independent. They just make games with one platform in mind, it's how they roll

 

[SparkTR]

Never got a chance to pick this up, I'll definitely check it out. Any chance of the Shooter games coming to Steam?

 

[Slime]

I hope everyone who hasn't played this yet checks it out. Such an incredible game.

Dag, I hope this means we'll get some PixelJunk games on iOS. Monsters in my pocket would be glorious (no, I do not carry a PSP around with me).

Maybe Nintendo and Xbox peeps will finally get some PixelJunk love as well?

 

[PuppetMaster]

Yikes! I might have to buy this again! Eden is one of my all time favorite games this gen.

But I don't know if it is going to be as good playing it with a mouse.

You linked to a story that talks about Eden coming to steam. There was no mention of Monsters.

 

[ChryZ]

They're prolly testing the water. Eden is awesome, but not very technical. Porting the Shooter games would be harder: they mentioned on their podcast that the dynamic liquid engine was heavily utilizing the PS3's SPUs.

 

[herod]

Will buy in the vain hope that Monsters makes it to PC as well.

The Facebook thing is absolutely the wrong direction as a sequel.

 

[Volcynika]

Couldn't really get into the game at all, but good that more people can try it out.

 

[chubigans]

You linked to a story that talks about Eden coming to steam. There was no mention of Monsters.

I totally agree with this.

 

[jiggles]

I totally agree with this.

You two. Out.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Will double dip if Monsters is also released.

 

[gogogow]

Nah, Q is independent. They just make games with one platform in mind, it's how they roll

Not really, they made a bunch of DSiware games.

 

[Stumpokapow]

I got a PS3 before Eden came out and just never got around to buying it, but I did like the demo a lot. I suspect a Steam holiday sale (especially 75% off @ 2.49) will be the thing that finally gets me to pull the trigger.

 

[herod]

Not really, they made a bunch of DSiware games.

And Starfox 64 3DS, and a Facebook pixeljunk monsters 'thing'.

 

[V_Ben]

Not really, they made a bunch of DSiware games.

As in, when they make a game, they make it with one platform in mind. So you rarely see their stuff appear elsewhere other than the platform they designed it for. It's why this announcement caught me by surprise, but now I'm so excited to see how this game looks at crazy resolutions.

 

[gogogow]

And Starfox 64 3DS, and a Facebook pixeljunk monsters 'thing'.

Yeah, I forgot about Starfox Command and Starfox 64 3DS.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Why just Eden? I want them all!!!

Monsters, Shooter, hell, even Racers




And wth, I had no idea Qgames worked on Starfox 3D.

 

[Zoibie]

My favourite of the PixelJunk games. Really should play Encore sometime... But yeah, definitely get this if you don't have it on PSN.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Why just Eden? I want them all!!!

Monsters, Shooter, hell, even Racers

IIRC Monsters is on Facebook, isn't it?

 

[V_Ben]

IIRC Monsters is on Facebook, isn't it?

Yep, and it's a great version of the game.

 

[herod]

Facebook Monsters is nothing like the 'real' game.

 

[TouchMyBox]

IIRC Monsters is on Facebook, isn't it?

This is making me want to sign up for a facebook account. :\

Facebook Monsters is nothing like the 'real' game.

Looks like I'm saved.

Yep, and it's a great version of the game.

You're not helping here, Mister V_Ben.

 

[Grinchy]

My favourite of the PixelJunk games. Really should play Encore sometime... But yeah, definitely get this if you don't have it on PSN.

I love it too. The trophies get so hard that I might have burnt myself out on the game trying to get them. I bought Encore and then just never really played it.

 

[herod]

I don't see how any fans of the original can enjoy the Facebook aberration.

 

[schwall20]

Wonder if itll have mulitplayer. That'd be cool on steam

 

[schwall20]

I don't see how any fans of the original can enjoy the Facebook aberration.

You cant, thats why its played by people who never even heard of the original

 

[Tunesmith]

No Mac version.

 

[slaughterking]

By far the best Pixeljunk game. Collected all the Spectra, even though that was, quite frankly, very frustrating to me.

 

[chubigans]

IIRC Monsters is on Facebook, isn't it?

I don't really care for it. Feels too different.

 

[Burekma]

I'm double dipping like a motherfucker. Soundtrack included.

I hope they bring the shooter and monsters franchises over as well.

 

[Number45]

I love it too. The trophies get so hard that I might have burnt myself out on the game trying to get them. I bought Encore and then just never really played it.

This. The game is HARD, but I love it so.

 

[Warren Ellis]

greatest platform of this generation after super meat boy. Finally i can play it on my pc!

 

[Corto]

Great game, great soundtrack and I wish that this move proves to be successful to Q Games. More people need to enjoy their games. I will double dip at a sale.

 

[Zoibie]

I love it too. The trophies get so hard that I might have burnt myself out on the game trying to get them. I bought Encore and then just never really played it.

Same. Getting that 15x combo trophy almost crushed me.

 

[Deleted member 59090]

Yay! My favorite PixelJunk by far. I'm glad more people will get to enjoy it.

 

[Metalmurphy]

IIRC Monsters is on Facebook, isn't it?

Just checked it out, feels like a totally different game, even the art is a bit different (worst)

Straight up port on steam with mouse controls would definitively get my money.

 

[Label]

You linked to a story that talks about Eden coming to steam. There was no mention of Monsters.

I agree with this.

 

[vehn]

This game is baller co-op. Really need the comfy couch for it

 

[zerodayPopbot]

I gave up trying to get all the stuff once I got to that level with the changing gravity.

The visuals and music are great, so I might get it again and try to get everything this time.

 

[megalowho]

Excellent news! This is my favorite PixelJunk game. Beautiful and relaxing, but with some real difficulty in there as well once you start progressing.

Kind of wish the soundtrack was included in the base price, I'd really like a reason to buy again. Probably won't be able to say no once Steam sale time arrives.

 

[Bazza]

Eden just is probably my least liked of their games and the only pixeljunk game iv not played is racer.

 

[Blablurn]

such a difficult game :/

bought it after the gaf hype back then... it just didnt click for me.

 

[Burekma]

Same. Getting that 15x combo trophy almost crushed me.

I did the ping pong swinging grimp achievement all by myself.

 

[Benjamin1981]

For the Steam version, the game has been retuned. The Grimp, the little character you control, now can warp back to his last resting position in the Steam version. You can also save your progress in each garden in Eden.

Dylan please patch the PS3 version with these new features. The trophies drive me crazy and this should help a lot.

 

[Danielsan]

Amazing game. Can't recommend it enough.
