		<description>Matt,

Thanks for the update to Monsters! I thought the original was hard, but I guess that was just a warm-up ;o)

Seriously, did you guys play test the Paku-Paku level? It&#039;s in the Easy section, but it&#039;s clearly one of the hardest levels in the game. After dozens of attempts I finally killed the boss. &quot;Thank you, bee hive!&quot; I still can&#039;t rainbow it, even with the speed boost. Ugh.

I&#039;m not sure if the &quot;burn in protection&quot; is adequate. Dimming the logo just makes the burn in a little slower. I actually have some burn in of all the elements at the bottom of the screen... coins, score, monsters. (Yeah, I know I need to stop playing so much) I had to shrink the play field so the logo won&#039;t be in the same place that the burn in already occurred.

Aside from that, I&#039;m having a great time with Encore. Looking forward to Eden.</description>

		<description>Hey everyone!

Thanks for your comments! I hope you are all enjoying the new Encore expansion for Monsters! If you are reading this in Europe, fear not! The pack will be available to you very soon!

Commenting on the questions regarding points: I&#039;ve found my scores have increased when i focus on raising the interest value throughout the game. I used to spend all the money I had on towers, but then developed a &#039;save to spend&#039; strategy. With increased interest values, and having money in the bank between rounds, I found my scores were much higher on average.

Keep up the good fight, Forest Defenders!</description>

		<description>@25 and @27

I actually saw that but it still confuses me how the #1 score can be so much higher than what I get. Plus or minus a few hundred makes sense, but sometimes they&#039;re up to 10,000 points higher. There has to be more to it than that....right?</description>

		<description>my girl and i just got our last perfect last night on the 4 tree level and the volcano level so we&#039;re ready. about damn time for some more Pixel Junk. (although something useful like the laser tower or flame thrower tower would have been a better option to unlock than the near-useless ice tower). 

BRING IT BABY!</description>

		<description>Can someone confirm if this is going to be released in Europe this Thursday too please?

I loved this game and can&#039;t wait to get my hands on the add-on. I don&#039;t want to have to wait weeks or months like we normally have to for PSN games in Europe.</description>
