Pixeljunk Shooter may just look like another twin stick shooter, but under the surface of simple controls lays a deviously intricate game involving puzzles, combat and secrets. As with any Pixeljunk game, Shooter is addictive and beautiful, carrying its own sense of style.
To divulge just how wonderful this game is, perhaps we need to get down to basics and explain how the game actually works. Taking control of your ship, the left stick moves the ship and the right stick rotates it, leaving a shoulder button for shooting and another for using your grappling hook. The mission is simple; explore caves and chasms to find a mining crew that has lost its way. But it doesn't end there; the best feature is the fluid control.

Jake from PC Gaming Enthusiast reviews the former PlayStation exclusive.
He writes:
"The ultimate edition received a major overhaul, which includes graphics. The overall artist effort truly shines on the PC. The water in each level looks like it is actually flowing, with perfectly precise physics, and subtle depth."

If you know anything about Q-Games, you know that we made a name for ourselves during the PlayStation 3 era with our acclaimed PixelJunk series. Debuting way back in 2007, we were one of the first indies to cut our teeth on the newly released console. Our idea for the series was simple: rework old school gaming concepts in beautiful high-definition visuals, while keeping the easy to learn, difficult to master gameplay that made us fall in love with games in the first place.
