Mesmerizing feast of eye candy

A game to check out on the US PlayStation Store right now is the Pixel Junk Eden demo. The game is set to be released later this year. When I first saw it, I wondered what on Earth it was, there were just plants growing? How is that a game?

Then I got the demo that was out on Thursday, and I must say it was quite something. There are three levels in the demo, and if the total Spectra count is anything to go by (Spectra are the things you must collect in each level) there will be 25 levels in total. It took me about 11 minutes just to get two Spectra in one level, so there would be lots of gameplay to waste on this one.

The aim of the game is to create your own Eden, by tapping into other gardens and stealing their Spectra, which grows new plants. In the levels, you leap from plant to plant, destroying enemies to release pollen and activate seeds to go further in the level. When leaping from plants you get silk to spin from, which can destroy enemies, collect pollen and also fetch synchronisation crystals (run out of crystals, you get ejected from the garden).

Well worth a look, and from the looks of it, it will support 1080p visuals natively. Not a common feature.
