What players say

Players enjoy the physics-driven exploration, especially how lava and water interact, but warn this version is obsolete now that PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate bundles both games with better visuals and features. It is short at about 3-4 hours, and some note broken music playback and resolution issues that were never fixed.
