Good stuff, will be getting the expansion for sure. In fact just the other day I bought PJ: Racers purely based on how good PJM turned out and I can say that was a wise decision cause it’s incredibly good fun. Keep up the good work, looking forward to future PJ stuff.

BTW, in the original PJM there is a bug where the screen becomes garbled for a split second seemingly at random intervals. I know it’s not my TV cause i’ve tested this on 2 other PS3’s and i’m getting the same glitch via remote play on my PSP screen. Was this fixed in the update?

Hello everyone, just thought I’d butt in and say thanks for all the support!

We really enjoyed making Monsters and Encore and it sounds like everyone is enjoying playing it too – even though it is quite a tough game (but hey, if it wasn’t tough it wouldn’t be so satisfying! Remember that the next time that boss monster is chomping on your little saplings!). :-)

It’s definitely too late for this suggestion to be put in effect for this expansion (and heck, maybe it is in there)… but I really, really, really, really wish there was a level that had no end, it just kept bringing wave after wave after wave that got harder.

Most of the net/flash based tower defense games are setup in this way, it’s just wave after wave. It was great fun because you could just post on a message board “I got to wave 64″ and then someone else is like “I got 73!!” and they would post a screencap or something.

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the game, I played and finished it in short order ( I am a huge fan of the genre) and went back and got most of the rainbows (some were just too hard). But then I felt like I was done with it. Now, if there was just one level… just one(!) level that was neverending and I could aways just try to make it a little bit past my previous high score, I would still be playing it everyday.

Just some food for thought for the next expansion (which you better make! Us PJM fans are rabid and want more more more!).

WOOHOO I cannot wait, this is an awesome game, but will the new ice tower being stock effect the original levels?

it could be easier to get certain rainbows then.

Is there any possibility that we’ll see these characters in a different game genre? Perhaps a platform game in the vain of Skullmonkeys or Oddworld.

I wish that there were new towers and powers that you could get. I would really like at least 1 new power and a couple new towers.

I’m stoked. I’m more excited about the xpack than I am about MGS4. Just barely though ;)

All joking aside this is one of my favorite games for consoles right now. Very fun, challenging. I wish there were some reward for rainbowing all the levels.
