Review of PixelJunk Eden [Online Game Code - Full Game]

This game is part of the popular PixelJunk series, in which you must control a "grimp" who can jump from and attach to plants and other objects on your screen.The idea is to enter a level from the "main screen", and collect "spectra" by catching pollen from "prowlers", to grow "seeds" which allow you to get to all the places in a level.Your grimp can either jump or swing from branches (for a limited amount of time) to break open prowlers and capture the pollen that comes out.Finding a spectra completes 1/5 of the level and takes you back to the "main screen".You then reenter the level and re-clear it by finding 2 spectra, then 3 spectra,..., until you find all 5 spectra in the level.Finding spectra in the levels causes plants to grow in the "main screen", which lets you reach harder levels, 10 in all.Additionally, you have a timer in the form of "oscillator crystals", so you must collect crystals to keep the meter from emptying or risk game over (you may continue from the last spectra reached, as of the latest PSN update).

There is also an expansion pack, PixelJunk Eden Encore, which adds another 5 levels to this game, though I believe you must complete the 10 levels in Eden before you can access those 5 levels.

The art in this game is very abstract and distinguishes it from any other game, and having an HDTV is very helpful when playing this game, which looks sharpest in 1080p.I have spent at least 30 hours in this game over a six-month timeframe, collecting all of the spectra and beating the game.Up to 3 players can play, though it is frustrating to play if all players are not at the same skill level.There is an online leaderboard for level scores and overall scores.

Overall, this game is better suited for an average gamer with a lot of patience (mainly because the grimp requires precise aiming before you jump, and you'll often miss your target or fall short, causing you to fall long distances, and backtrack many times), although it can be enjoyed by playing for shorter intervals.It is a very unique game that is only available for PlayStation 3.
