Only officially announced last week, Pixeljunk 1-4, or as we’re calling it, “TSA Underground”, now has something of a mini-site. The teaser site has 6 pages of preview screens, marked “concept images” and a few details on how the game will work, thus: In groundbreaking gameplay, players can directly interact with various materials in the environment, water, magma, earth and more. They are encouraged to use their imaginations and experiment with their surroundings.
The game mixes both shooting and strategy elements – players can take cover behind rocks and use the fluids to defeat enemies. Stages are designed around an elegant and dynamic fluid simluation system. Liquids flow realistically and are designed to stimulate the player. The most exciting bit, though? Q-Games are offering you the chance to name the game, with the winner immortalised in the game and 5 runners up winning a cool t-shirt. You’ve got until the 11th of May to think of a name and submit it.

Definitely one word, but it won’t be Flow I don’t think.

I actually like “Underground”… just not “TSA Underground”

I agree. I wonder how they come up with such unique concepts…

Pixeljunk: Liquid Frustration? Unless they’re going to be nice this time, and not give us a ridiculously hard game the first time round…

PixelJunk Elements is my suggestion! Looks like another great addition to the PixelJunk series of games.
Its games like this that really set the Playstation apart from the competition in my eyes.

Just so you know, I did not steal your idea…
Just so happens I thought of the same thing, at the same time…
Spooky…

Yeah, I voted for calling it that too (last night), as did one of my friends on another forum. I think it’s going to be a strong contender, as it’s the first thing that popped into my head.

Darn, I just submitted that aswell! Well, I didn’t think I’d be the only one. Could’ve been the first though

Submitted mine, but I’m not saying what it is so I’ve more chance of winning if it’s picked! It’s great, though. Heh.

submitted and I think mine may be picked by someone else at some point but I hope not
as it may not be the first thing that springs to mind

PixelJunk: PitJunket, it’s supposed to be a play on PixelJunk, Junket being ‘an extravagant trip’ and Pit being ‘a large hole in the ground’

I submitted ‘Spelunk’
It means ‘to explore caves’, it sounds fun and it even rhymes with PixelJunk!

Haha, PixelJunk: Spelunk sounds awesome! Probably a bit too similar to Spelunker HD though.
