PixelJunk Shooter’s Sales Impressive [21]
Some lucky people got their hands on Q Games’ latest thumb-twiddler today. I was one of those lucky sods who got to play it nice and early so i thought I’d video my playthrough of the first stage and let you all be green with envy see how it plays. This is not a “First Level” feature or a preview or review, there will be time for all that later. For now, just take a look at how the first stage plays out and be aware that I haven’t played a game with controls this smooth and tight in a very long time. It’s good, oh yes, it’s very good.

Left stick moves, right stick rotates, left triggers for grab, right to shoot. Game is incredible.

it’s on two sticks with the left being thrust and the right being ship direction. Then R1 fires your weapon and L1 grabs people and gems.
It’s not so much what it takes to make it work though… It all feels really tight and smooth.

That sounds really awkward to me, twin sticks sounds far better

See now im going to get too used to GC controls! I think the twin sticks sound far better but i suppose i should wait till i have played shooter to pass judgment.

Look’s great, I’m not green with envy though! Gravity Crash will keep me company till this comes out. It’s surely coming out soon if you have review code already!

It plays perfectly through the YouTube player on my Palm Pre.
/Amphlett throws out some bait for a smart-phone war.

I really want a Pre, how’s the battery life, is there a Twitter client, and are there really no apps right now?

Yeah it did my iPhone it just takes YouTube about an hour or so, for them to do their jiggery-pokery for mobile access.

How does the handling compare to Gravity Crash ?
The momentum of the ship looks better. And you’re allowed to hit walls.

It’s a lot sharper – you start and stop quicker, for sure, but it’s obviously most like GC’s second control system.

Looks like a very good game. Is this already out on the store yet?

No, i think it was dated for 24th December in Japan and rumoured for the 10th December in Europe. Totally worth waiting for though. Just use the time to get excited about it and crack on with Gravity Crash

I’ll need a card first but not long before I do. Will then go on a PSN spending spree starting with GC and Shatter.

I forgot to mention in the post that Davs did the intro/outro and the new watermark and Lewis did the Intro/Outro sound. Both are exceptionally talented individuals who have even managed to make me look a little bit professional!
There are even credits for this one

Looks good but I’ll think I’ll have to play a demo first, if there is one.

@skibadee – please try to form proper sentences, and perhaps stop and think before you post. Thanks.

Great video. Damn, that game looks sooo good. Loving Gravity Crash right now but probably perfect timing when PJ Shooter comes along. Both superb from what I can see.

Iv’e played gravity crash this morning and i was impressed but shooter looks to be the better game out of the two..they are very simular..may wait to get pixel junk shooter though.

I dont think they are that similar. In Gravity Crash, the gravity seems to have a greater relevance. And the controls are different, too. In GC its all about your momentum, at least in the classic mode (I like that best).
PJS seems to take the route of a puzzler much more than GC, while GC puts more emphasis on shooting and controling your gas and momentum. But hard to tell from the little I have seen from PJS.
