PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate (Vita, 2014) PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate is a remastered version of PixelJunk Shooter 1 + 2, and given both are two halves of the same game, I don't feel like this is cheating. There are many games in the PixelJunk franchise, but the Shooter games are the clear gems. This is slower and more methodical than your typical twin-stick shooter, but thats because I would argue this is just as much of a puzzle game as it is a shooter. You take control of a ship trying to rescue scientists in an underground area and find out what went wrong, along with grabbing gems to fulfill level-unlocking requirements. I was immediately grabbed by the degree of control you have in your ship. It is much higher than I was accustomed to. In addition to being able to move a full 360, as well as being able to spin to deflect projectiles, the emphasis on physics in this game also has acceleration, momentum, and variable speed as key components that you will use in combat, puzzle-solving, and exploration. It definitely has a unique feel to it, and they didnt stop there to make the game stand out. While the ships tools are pretty basic with a built-in gun, missiles, a claw, and maybe one or two more than I cant recall at this moment, they all have multiple uses for various scenarios. You might need a claw to extract survivors, rip a part off of an enemy, or use it to transport a sponge-filled water to cool down your ship or lava for you to reach the screens exit. They get a lot of mileage out of each tool, and it helps to have meticulously crafted and excellent level design. Toss in some vibrant colors, beautiful animation (especially with liquids), and a surreal soundtrack by High Frequency Bandwidth that has long been one of my favorite VG OSTs, and you have quite the memorable experience on your hands. While I try to push many games onto B8ers and in general try to bring awareness to them, PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate is one that I have put among the most effort (I think it has been my most gifted game in our B8 Steam Secret Santa), with many people enjoying their time with it.
