Difficulty settings coming to PixelJunk Monsters, new modes coming to Eden

PS3Fanboy writes, "Finding the PixelJunk games frustratingly difficult? You are not alone; the guys over at TheBBPS wrote an open e-mail to Dylan Cuthbert, executive producer at Q-games, humorously complaining that his wife finds PixelJunk Monsters just a tad bit too overwhelming and requests difficulty settings for the game. Cuthbert acknowledges his prayers, stating that an upcoming free patch to Monsters will include the ability to make the game easier, or harder, than the default setting.

Cuthbert also hints a similar treatment in form of a new "more namby pamby" gameplay mode for PixelJunk Eden in a future expansion pack. He feels Eden's "controls are too much fun to waste on just one set of game rules." We can't wait!"

1 - Monsters definitely needs a difficulty
Single player is epicly hard, but very enjoyable. way to go Pixeljunk keep it up!

Also seeing as Eden doesn't have a platinum trophy yet that clearly means it'll be obtained in these new modes. Woot

I wish all the games had the option to set unlimited lifes or similar, my daughters want to play some PSN games I have but some are just too hard...at least a training mode where you could play around with the controls without worrying about dying...

i've noticed that Q-Games love their difficulty. they trick you with cool and quirky cute graphics and simple gameplay but the challenge is crazy.

i'm still stuck on Monsters. gRRRR.
and Eden is becoming more challenging and i'm only on the 3rd Garden.
double gRRRR.

After playing over month and half, Got all the rainbow on first island. Just started 2nd Island (toki or tuki i don't remember). I must say, it was ever challenging. Would love to see one of those tower unlocked in the beginning without purchasing.

@meepmoopmeep

Same with me. I played the demo and really enjoyed the relaxing and fun gameplay in the first garden. When I purchased the game things got a lot harder after that.

You get used to the difficulty in the later gardens, but then, just when you think you got a hang on the game again, you get to the infamous Garden 7.

All I can say is good luck... ;)

I never considered buying PJ Monsters because I suck at tower defense games. With an easier difficulty though, I may be able to have some fun and not constantly die :P

Bah I beat this game with my 12 year old sister, single player I don't know I hardly played it lol. I personally like the difficulty of the pixeljunk games; it's easy enough at the start to get into and they are actually a challenge to complete unlike most games nowadays.

3.1 - The difficulty doesn't change with co-op.
So yes single player monsters is much, much harder.

Monsters isn't crazy hard to beat in co-op, but Encore is BRUTAL.

4.7 - PSN games DO NOT have Platinum's
I have SSHD and 100% Trophies. There is no Platinum. The only PSN games to have Platinum's are the ones with a BLU-RAY release as well.
Ie. Socom, Warhawk etc...

I like when devs do this, but not right after they release the original product. This just shows their money grubbing whore skills. But hey, what devs?publishers don't do this these days? lol. "Hey, lets add something that should've been there before and act like it's an addition!! Yay!!" Hopefully, they go the Criterion route and make it all free, though.

I really doubt they'll charge for *DIFFICULTY LEVELS* that fans requested. That would be a slap to the face.

They haven't said for sure, but it seems pretty likely. They openly asked fans what they wanted in the final patch for the game and certainly trophies were at the top of the list.

7 - Thank the gods
I found the game a bit tough for myself, I can remember a time when some games were meant to be difficult and others made just to enjoy - you know, easy. It's nice to see that developers are willing to make things a bit more fun and accessible for all age groups.

8 - I thought the expansion
was much harder but tons of fun.

I would appreciate easier settings for when my girlfriend wants to play coop. The difficulty in the later stages turns her off (but she REALLY loves the game).

I guess it would appeal more to casual gamers.

I don't know what it is, but I love Eden. I just swing around for hours. It's quite the trip! I haven't tried Monsters out yet. Any good?

I would expect Evil Monkeys would like swinging in trees.

As for Monsters, its great....its probably racked up more hours of play than nearly all my other games.

11 - I would love to see another expansion to Pixel Junk Monsters and Eden...
I have solved the first island in Pixel Junk Monsters, and I almost done with the Second Island. Please Dylan bring us a third island and some trophies...and get to work on Pixel Junk Dungeon!
