OVERVIEW
Q-Games, developer of the award-winning PixelJunkseries, returns this summer with a nostalgic take on the series with its new side-scrolling shooter,PixelJunk™ SideScroller. Based on the unlockable stage from PixelJunk™ Shooter 2, PixelJunk Sidescroller is a complex and dynamic fluid simulation system, which fills the game world with flowing liquids and hazardous gases, while putting a new spin on arcade shooters.  Blast holes in walls or use your ship itself to drill past scorching hot magma.  The fluids react in real-time to the player’s actions and to other liquids, creating unique and exciting situations with every play.
