Up to Level 5 it was fun and challenging, but after various “brick-wall” gameplay mechanics were introduced it just stopped being fun.

I feel this is a forest through the trees scenario where the developers had spent so much concentrated time creating the game experience that they forgot to keep it fun and moderately accessible for casual play.

As a rule I RARELY (almost never) walk away from a difficult gaming challenge, but my time is better spent with other games/activities. I cannot imagine that this was the intention of the initial design, but gamers (myself included) are frustrated and simply putting Pixel Junk Eden down and now longer returning to it.

I can’t say that I blame them.

One day left to join.. Here’s the top 3 with a little less than a week left for the contest.

Yes it does but to be able to access the custom music in eden you have to FINISH THE GAME!! So, that means the opcion is not available as soon as you donwload it. It really sucks because I really doubt I will dare to replay this game once I finish it. Bye the way, the techno-soundtrack gets repetitive fast and there is no option for alternate tracks o just switch between the existing ones during those nerve-busting levels.

Does this game suppport the ability to play your own custom music in-game from the XMB that was part of the 2.40 firmware update?

Dang, I´m in garden five and I´m in pain… the game that seemed so relaxful has became a true nighmare!! Talk about frustrating! If the demo had just given me a glimps of what was coming… I would not have bought it!

As I downloaded the demo I and my 6 years old daughter enjoyed every single minute of this game and I decided I really wanted this game just because of so much fun we had, but ALAS! we hit garden 5 two days ago and we just couldnt get the 4th Spectra, then I told her to let me play alone in order to get it thinking that the flawed multiplayer “if someone falls all others do it want it or not” gameplay machanic was responsable… It took me an eternity to get it and when I finally did it… where in god´s place is 5th spectra? only hell knows!! I see it glowin all way to the upper left but I have tried finding a way to get with no results. TALK ABOUT FRUSTRATION ON A GAME THAT SEEMED SO FUN AT FIRST! And I can honestly tell you this: I just loved the music, but the trak of 5th garden has become so irritanting that only feeds my anger an frustration of being incapable of finishing that level. My daugher has gone back to PJmonsters…

1) Does this game have XMB custom soundtrack support that was part of the 2.40 Firmware update?

2) Does this game have Trophy support that was part of the 2.40 Firmware update? If so, what level (category) of trophies does it have like say bronze, silver, gold, platinum or all 4? I know in your blog post you outline the silver and bronze trophies, but is there a reason why you can’t include gold or platinum or both trophies into PSN titles like this?

Thank you for reading this and your hard work for making games in the overall sense of things. :-)

Thanks a lot! Yes, you are right I was confused and now I finally got the trophy for activating all seed points in second and fourth garden, but serioulsy; it takes a lot of effort and seems that getting a bronze is just lame. There is no map or a radar or something that indicates how many seeds you have left to activate, all we got is pollen flying towards them, but sometimes they will just disappear if you are not close enough. Uncharted fills you full of bronzes for doing much less and sometimes Eden can be tremendously frustrating…
