About
In this long-awaited sequel to the much-loved PixelJunk Eden, players explore the beautiful gardens of Eden as a Grimp, tiny creatures with big personalities that swing from silk to collect pollen. When nearby seeds fill with collected pollen, the garden will evolve and expand, constantly growing and changing in response to the player’s actions. By nurturing the garden, Grimps can locate Spectra, the source of life in the garden, as well as other Grimps with unique abilities and Spices that provide a wide variety of gameplay customization options.
From the mind of the game’s director Baiyon, comes a mesmerising experience that provides a completely unique experience that’s easy to pick up and get lost in. Baiyon provided both art and sound direction for the original PixelJunk Eden, Eden Obscura, and PixelJunk Eden 2.
