Just bought the game a couple of hours ago thru the PSN, For about 4 hours straight me and my eight year old sister played till we finished a difficult stage. The look of simplicity through me off has the game does engage you to be thoughtfully strategic, which i appreciate. I even tried to plan out how to take on the difficult level by drawing a sketch of the map, and plotted out where i would strategically place the towers. Then i just said " The hell with it " and just played it out, had fun, finally beat it. but the eight year old was tired, and i noticed it was two in the morning. ha. Fun game, i'll probably get the encore

I still think that the TD's in Warcraft 3 online > all

Yeah i bought it a couple of days ago and need to play it again. The dem olevel was real easy and then the one after that was really hard! Ill just try harder though! I like the art style too.

just a warning the expansion - PixelJunk Encore - is hard... you also need 5 rainbows on the second island to get to the medium levels (thats 5 out of 6 easy levels you need rainbows).

You also need to re-get the 3 perks (running, land mines, lighting tower)

But yea PixelJunk Monsters is an awesome game and 1st challenge is beating a level - the hard part is getting a rainbow ( curse the one monster which always gets through late in the game on half the stages )
