The straightforward name that PixelJunk Shooter bears conjures images of fast-paced, dual-stick combat against an unending swarm of AI drones intent on your demise. Strangely enough, though, shooting is but one small element in this spelunking puzzle adventure. As you wind your way through danger-filled caves, you must use your noggin to mix disparate liquids to free your trapped friends and harvest the precious metals buried miles below the surface. An occasional enemy will spring forth, spraying a slow-moving barrage of missiles or bullets your way, but these are minor obstacles. Just ignore its misleading name. PixelJunk Shooter is the most accessible of all the games in the PixelJunk series, using tight controls and a cheerful aesthetic to pull you deep into its underground adventure. That accessibility never dissipates, making this by far the easiest and shortest game in the series as well. In the five or so hours it takes to reach the end, this well-paced adventure rarely challenges, but it always manages to surprise and entertain.Get it here
