Dylan Cuthbert, the President and Exectuive Producer for Q Games, updated us today on the PlayStation.Blog of PixelJunk Monsters' status.

According to Cuthbert, you can put your other games down because this title is going to keep you occupied for weeks and weeks again.

The point of the game is to protect yrour isand and it's villages from the monster horde stampeding through the game. There are difficulties to make the game easy, medium, or hard. The easy set includes ten waves of monsters. There are many types of these monsters, but they are fast.

When a monster is killed, it drops money for you to pick up and build more towers for defense. Sometimes they drop important gems that you can use to upgrade your current towers.

The types of towers included in the game are the Ice Tower, Fire Tower, Tesla (Electric) Tower, Laser Tower, Hive Tower, and Mortar Tower.

Top that off, the game is launching next week on the PLAYSTATION Store.

PixelJunk Monsters Joins PSP Remote Play Titles

PixelJunk Monsters, Q-Game's upcoming PLAYSTATION Network game (already released in Japan), is going to join the line-up of titles for the PLAYSTATION 3 that support remote play.

According to Q-Games' Dylan Cuthbert, it is one of the best titles on Remote Play due to the game playing at low bandwidth. "We also support PSP remote play and it is probably one of the first games that supports this really well - ie. it is totally playable through your PSP, even at low bandwidths."

It's good to see you'll be able to play more games on the go. This is one that interests me as well. I might just give it a download upon it's release.

On December 6, 2007, Q Games (creators of PixelJunk Racers) is bringing their newest PLAYSTATION Network downloadable to the Japanese PLAYSTATION Store, PixelJunk Monsters. The price of the game is 900 Yen with the North American release to follow.

The game is a puzzle game. You must protect the puzzle simulation using the monsters. You can build towers and such as well, which ranks with the attack inside the monsters. It's hard to understand from our rough translation.

The game will feature online leaderboards as well as multiplayer, not sure if it's online multiplayer or just two-players. The game will also have something to do with the PLAYSTATION Portable as well.
