PixelJunk (1-4b) SideScroller |OT|

I love the PixelJunk games, but after trying three times to get into this I think it's frankly their worst next to 4 AM. I spent half an hour on one checkpoint in level 1-3 earlier.

The entire experience is just punitive. The checkpoints, the "Continue" option doing nothing but removing all your power ups and starting you in the heat of a level, typically screwing you over... why not just restart the level automatically instead of forcing me to quit and pick the level again? It feel almost like a slap across the face after Shooter 1 & 2, as if it's a retort for this who wanted them to be more typical shooting games. I hate to rag on a game, but man.

Strangely I loved this game although I never stuck with it, this thread has made me want to go revisit it though. Shame they haven't got it on Vita really.
