2/3rds of the way through PixelJunk Shooter and I'm still rather ambivalent towards it. It just doesn't grab me in the way PixelJunk Monsters did. I don't actively hate it in the way I did PixelJunk Eden, and it's not a game that screams Yes-We-Know-This-Is-Bad-But-Whatever like TMNT Re-Shelled or Revenge of the Wounded Dragons... but I'm certainly not over the moon over it. It just is. It's pleasant enough.
Here's me in one of the first level blocks, right when you come across flammable gases...
It's certainly more compelling in multiplayer. Here's me in Yellow and Mike in Green. We struggle for a while with the bit where you have to turn a waterfall into a land bridge.
This board took a couple attempts before we hatched a plan. We opt for a "You go that way and I'll go this way" plan around :28, then mass panic erupts at :40 as we flee the incoming lava.
Look at the ridiculous way Buzz Quiz World pushes reports to Facebook:
That was from a 8-player online game, with four people in our house and four people somewhere else. I got the distinct feeling that our opponent was actually just one dude running all four buzzers, because his group never had deviating answers. For our part, we agreed to work together to make sure one of us won, but when we came to a question where we did not know the answer, we split the guesses amongst the group.
