Pixeljunk Monsters is the 2nd of the Pixeljunk series created by Q Games. It is based on Tower Defense. The game is simple but fun, you have a home with creatures in it and you have coins to spend on cannons or other monster killing things. For each monster you kill you earn coins, and sometimes gems. You can use gems to unlock other kinds of weapons, or strengthen weapons have already bought and placed somewhere. There are over 20 levels, with 10 turns for each level.

There are many reasons to buy this game, maybe because it is extremely addicting, it costs only $8 (limited time), you can play two-player co-op both online or offline, or maybe it’s because you can play on your PSP using remote play.
