I believe you that the mouse controls are far superior. It's just a pity that local multiplayer is now missing completely as a consequence of no controller support. I consider that one of the strongest features of the PS3 version, so it's a real shame that the PC version is now worse in that regard.
PixelJunk Eden out now on Steam

You're still playing your PC games on a chair? That's so 2004.

Glad to help.
I haven´t had the time to buy the game myself yet, but I got a friend here in Sweden to buy it right now.
Is there a demo?
Not yet! Lots and lots of videos up on youtube though.

bad gameplay lol
Hey Dylan, just wanted to say that I recently bought Eden + Encore, Monsters + Encore, and Shooter 2 from the JPSN sale, and I'm really enjoying all three. It's funny though, the one I thought would be my most favorite of the three (Monsters) has turned out to be my least favorite (though still fun), and the one I thought would be my least favorite (Eden) has turned out to be my overall favorite.
Really, really loving Eden. Seriously. There's just something about it I can't quite put my finger on that's just amazing. Like, my jaw nearly hit the floor the first time I went into Garden 4. The colors and patterns in there are just amazing. Love it.

Thanks!! Monsters will grow on you too, believe me
Mouse controls make climbing faster and short jumps easier, but adjusting your trajectory mid-jump is really fudgy compared to the controller. The grimp seems to move really slowly, then suddenly shoot off like a rocket, and I'm having to wrestle it back and forth to keep it where I want. The acceleration's probably exactly the same, but it felt really natural on the controller. With the mouse, it's like holding on to wet soap.

I loved this game on the ps3, but it's a real bummer about the lack of controller support. I'll probably still pick it up during a sale, but I really don't like using keyboard / mouse controls. Is there any chance that Shooter will be ported to PC?

This is awesome! Brilliant title, well worth the double-dip
And SideScroller, just so I could buy the OST as a DLC.
After full clearing the first garden I can say that this new control scheme feels just right. People that will get this without having played the PS3 version will have no problem whatsoever enjoying the control of the grimp from the get go, people that played the PS3 game will have just a few minutes to get used to the swinging and the aiming with the mouse and then it will just feel right. One hand gaming FTW. hehehehe The game is just what I need to relax a few minutes with the soothing music and art style. Here's hoping this Steam venture will fare well for you guys and that the Shooter series follows suit.
P.S. I have listened the OST while at work on my iPod non stop. So damn cool.

The remastered audio is excellent quality don't you think?

no, i have a wii. But i don't really like modern nintendo platformers.
the lack of controller support is a lowdown,anyway. I wanted to play it in high resolution.
Superb! Super rich bass and you were not kidding that it really feels like a meatier sound. It helps that I am listening with better headphones on the iPhone/iPod and with a pseudo-surround system (I have a JVC SU-DH1 surround adaptor) and my Denon cans on my PC. Just sexiness in sound wave form.
Any news on a patch for pad support? Seems pretty clear to me that plenty of people want it.
My PC goes through my home cinema into my TV and my PC games are controlled entirely by pad. The only other input device is a media keyboard with combined (shitty) trackpad that I use to select my games. I can't be the only person in this position.
If not, it's no biggie, my PS3 copy still works fine. I'd just prefer it on my PC.

Was just going to mention how amazing the game sounds with a good set of cans. Fucking beautiful.
Wait a second, there is no multiplayer support at all in the Steam version? Neither local nor online? What does the number 1-3 mean on the bottom of the screen then? I always assumed that was about the number of players, so why is it in the Steam version?
That's a real shame, this is one of the most fun games ever in multiplayer.

Those numbers are just identifiers for each game in the PixelJunk series. 1-3 means that Eden was the third game in the first PixelJunk series. I love little conceptual details like this it shows that there is a connective creative vision behind all these games.
Definitely love the new control scheme, but was so confused in the first level that I couldn't do the silk jump immediately. Didn't realize (or remember?) I had to collect the first Spectra.
And add me to the list of people who feel like I'm losing my grip on time after hearing the game is 4 years old. Feels like it was two years ago.

Have the forum rules changed and asking for ports is now OK?
It is a pretty funny coincidence that PJ Monsters (which supports up to 2 players) is labelled 1-2 and PJ Eden (which supports up to 3) is 1-3, though.
I reckon that as in any rule there is good sense behind its enforcement. I don't see anyone doing hit-and-run kind of posts with zero substance pleading for PC ports of the PixelJunk games. In my case it was even more a case of well wishing than begging for a port, because I have no doubt that Eden coming to PC is just a test for Q Games to expand its business to another platform. I love their games, I would like that they keep doing them, they need to earn money to do so, the more money they earn the more games they can create (and better). Success!

Don't hate Lord Error.
In case you haven't noticed this isn't senseless port begging. Dylan Cuthbert is here posting and reading our posts. He even said this:

There's actually two on this page alone, and from posters who didn't even posted in this thread before that. I guess it's OK for older games. I wouldn't mind more of PJ games to be on other platforms (heck I asked them if there will be Mac version)

I didn't realise I had to be so blatant in what was intended.
What should I do?
What should I do?
Both are rhetorical questions. To confirm, I am not actually asking for someone to buy it; just wanted to simply convey my desire for the game which is testing my mettle. I hope this goes to explain what was intended.
Oh, I'm sorry, I must have missed the confirmation that there will never be a patch.
*grits teeth and smiles*
As always, context matters for these sorts of situations.
The worst type of port begging (which almost always results in a ban) is the type where a new game is announced for Platform X, and someone immediately begins begging for the game to be on Platform Y or Z, and complains that X isn't as good as Y or Z.
The best type of "port begging" would be akin to the Mass Effect 2 announcement for PS3. It is completely logical to question how the "story gap" created by having no ME1 on PS3 will affect users who jump right in to ME2. That is a logical discussion, based on real evidence -- ME2 is already really coming to PS3 (as is ME3), so it's reasonable to discuss ME1, as well.
This example falls somewhere in between these two extremes, but much closer to the latter example than the former. Eden is already out for the PC; Q games is actively in this thread discussing the possibility of other games coming to PC. That's a very different situation than 1) Game announced 2) "Put this on Vita please, 3DS is too kiddy!"
I did on my puny laptop with an integrated GPU. The game crashed and didn't even started, Then I checked the sys req in the game's Steam page.
Yeah system requirements are kind of vague. The irony being I have no trouble playing the game on my laptop, yet my desktop which is significantly more powerful refuses to run it.
Someone on the Steam forums found disabling triple buffering with ATI cards fixes crashing. Trying it with my nvidia card unfortunately didn't return the same results.

I never played the Bit.Trip games long because they were more frustratingly hard than challenging to me (got fooled twice too <.<) but never had that problem with Eden on the PS3. If this version is even more forgiving, you shouldn't have problems.
Eden can get quite challenging in latter Gardens/Stages with some cool new mechanics thrown at you, but at least in my experience the challenge is better paced than the Bit.trip games. But I absolutely love the Bit.Trip games also.

Always found PJ games very relaxing even when they are challenging.
I'm sure it controls great, but all I know is that it's a gamepad game that suddenly doesn't have gamepad support. I'm sure many people think the same way, and it's a shame, because I would love to play this game. Sadly I only play on my TV with a gamepad. Best of luck to you guys with the game though!
Please patch in gamepad support
