    Despite its brevity, this is the most accessible and entertaining game yet in the PixelJunk series. The unique puzzles are a lot of fun to solve, but it's the sheer joy of existing in this world that makes Shooter so difficult to put down. The cartoony visuals and hypnotic soundtrack build on the initial appeal while the silky smooth controls make it fun just to fly around. Misleading name aside, PixelJunk Shooter is a clever puzzle game that always manages to entertain.

    PixelJunk Shooter's unique mechanics and terrific audiovisual design still make it stand out in ways that most downloadable releases lack. Like the other games in the line, PixelJunk Shooter's got style. The great-looking graphics and cohesive soundtrack make it a lot easier to look past the game's structural issues and a lot easier to recommend, too. PixelJunk Shooter is most definitely worth playing, but it leaves you wanting more in both the positive and negative senses of the term.
