I couldn’t possibly agree more. My wife and I have been addicted to this game for a while. The co-op is great. I originally downloaded it for her to try. She’s a huge fan of LocoRoco and Katamari so I figured it would be something she’s like. Boy was I right! What I didn’t expect was that I too would become sucked in.

We bought Encore the day it came out but we’ve been putting off playing it. We’ve had so much fun with the game we’re scared to burn through the rest of it too quickly. We did manage to score rainbows in every level on PJM and we’re hoping to do the same with Encore. Now that we finished up all the achievements in Lego Indy we’ll probably come back to finish it up.

What I really want to know is how did the company behind PixelJunk Monsters create PixelJunk Racers? We bought it just to show the company support and it is slightly more fun than it originally looked… but I just can’t believe the people involved in Racers had anything to do with Monsters. I’m fairly excited to give Eden a try. Especially since towards the end of Monsters we starting including friends to help back seat drive… so an engrossing three player game could work just as well! I’m still not entirely sold though and I wish instead they focus on Monsters 2!

Thanks Samus! I think Stardust is a better experience for me thanks to customisable soundtracks and the music in the game but it would be great if both games could add online co-op in the future. Both are excellent games in their own right.

I just need 2 more Rainbows on both PJM and Encore. So hard though.

Darrin, if you think the Hard stages are tough in PJM, wait until you play the Easy stages on Encore.

Great stuff Gary! I absolutely agree about PixelJunk Monsters being addictive – both in single player and co-op games. I really need to get a bit further with it, but am always struggling for time. I’m not sure which I prefer out of Stardust and PJM though… possibly Stardust still. PJM would win if you could play online co-op though.

I haven’t played Encore. I made it part way through the hard levels in the original game and it’s pretty damned hard.

SS:HD and Everyday Shooter are great, but they aren’t endlessly addicting like these tower defense games.

PJM SS:HD and Everyday shooter to a lesser extent are extremely addictive. I can throw one on and next thing I know an hour has passed.

I haven’t tried Encore yet, kinda afraid too since I don’t have the free time just now. I got Solo pack for SSHD and Echochrome but have been on MGS4 and EQ2 lately. Still have a ton of back catalog games also…
