Jump, Spin, Swing, Travel Through Beautiful Organic Worlds

Unlock new Grimps with different perks, each providing new challenges!

Local Co-Op: The background reacts to both players’ movements allowing players to create a beautiful action painting together.

Alter the world in mind binding ways by using a variety of Spices to improve Pollen gathering, changing the Grimp’s movement, spending more time cultivating the Gardens, or even increasing the number of enemies!

A euphoric soundtrack that matches the world to create a truly meditative experience. The digital soundtrack is available now!

PixelJunk™ Eden 2 provides countless hours of play with a bountiful amount of Gardens to choose from. Each with a multitude of variations.

An artistic visual style that keeps changing, like peeking into a kaleidoscope.

Players travel through the luscious Gardens, full of unique plants and vegetation with the help of Grimps. By filling up the Seeds with Pollen, players can open new Plants and pathways as they journey through their colorful, organic world. Grimps have the ability to jump and swing, providing a lively take on the action-platformer genre. When the Grimps move, players can feel their presence in the Gardens as their world changes in appearance, shape, and form. Players will create unique paintings in real-time as they explore the Gardens. There are so many Grimps, and Spices each with its own unique ability and enhancements to discover. Combine these to navigate through the Gardens and recover the Spectra, which serves as the source of life in the world of Eden.

Baiyon - game, art, and musical director of PixelJunk™ Eden 2:

With PixelJunk™ Eden 2, Baiyon feels that the team was able to further expand the themes of the series by exploring the synthesis between action games and the feeling of painting in real-time.

Occasionally while testing the game Baiyon felt like he really was painting something and not actually playing a game -- let alone an action game! At those moments he felt like he had achieved at least a little bit of what he had set out to do.

Baiyon is sure you’ll create many of your own pleasant moments by matching the beats and adventure with Grimps as players explore the many kaleidoscopic gardens of PixelJunk™ Eden 2
