Cell-shaded shooting fun with fluids in caves. Now on PSN. Released today.
A really fun doujin-style game from Q-Games (also responsible for the cool platformer PixelJunk Eden, and good tower defense game PixelJunk Monsters).
If you have a PS3 keep an eye out for this next time you're on the PSN Store... easily recommendable at its budget price

I've just been playing this for the last hour - it's REALLY good! The physics are very impressive and actually contribute to the gameplay significantly. Guys! Get this one!

Just finished the first Episode. Really neat. The boss was nicely done as well. Not too difficult so far, though I'm guessing they toned it down this time after everyone moaned about how hard Eden was.

First person to 2 million! I think I'm still #1 on the Gravity Crash leaderboard as well. Wohoo.

I'm thinking of getting this...I'm just too addicted to "SHATTER" and "Gravity Crash" for PS3 right to investigate PJS.

Would be nice if they had a demo of this available this. I don't really like buying games blind.

This game is excellent, really chilled out and the lava mechanic is very well done.
