About this game
Journey to the garden of sound and life, a mysterious and artistic place full of the extraordinary!
Eden Obscura, named after the historic camera obscura, is quite literally "light" entertainment; it uses the camera in your phone to create interactive visual effects while you jump around the screen gathering pollen to grow surreal artistic plants and landscapes in a world that is like no other. Vibrant colors combined with eclectic and sophisticated electronic music take you on an artistic and mind expanding journey, while at the same time it is quite simply a ton of fun to play.
================================
・An artistic style simulating nature and plant life, imagined through the random flow of ink dropped down a sheet of paper.
・Unique garden visuals that use the camera to synthesize light and your surroundings in realtime.
・A unique action experience born from the symphony of grooving techno/house sound and stylistic visuals.
================================
■Nominated in 3 categories as the first Japanese title by IGF Awards hosted by Game Developer Conference and selected as the committee choice award by the Agency for Cultural Affairs in the Art Festival Entertainment category, the world-acclaimed PixelJunk Eden takes on new life on mobile as Eden Obscura!
■Eden Obscura is a reimagining of the award-winning game PixelJunk Eden for mobile devices, and is once again helmed by international multimedia artist Baiyon, previously featured in the magazine Game Developer as one of 50 people to watch in the games industry.
■Winner at Busan Indie Connect Festival 2017
================================
“Eden” is a collective world formed from an untold number of gardens. You control the “Grimps,” residents of this world, and travel through these gardens collecting “Spectra,” the source of life.
As you run, jump, and spin on silk string, the gardens grow around you providing new paths to adventure and you’ll find yourself deep in a realm of cutting-edge sound and amazing visuals.

I thought it was great at first, I remember loving the artwork and the look and feel of it on the ps3 game and thought it adapted well to mobile. I Hate that it requires the camera - WHY!! there is zero need for that and it makes me concerned about privacy. I also hate that you can't choose your own grimps to use when you want to. There needs to be an option even if that option is a purchase. If I have to play as Ideo one more time, I'll rage quit. Do better Pixeljunk ETA now it stops working..

I really want to give this app 5 stars. Baiyon's soundtrack is just as amazingly lush as in the original Eden for the PS3, and the stylistic design of the game is just as beautiful. The problem is that the app keeps crashing randomly! This means that I've missed out on rewards for completing levels multiple times, and I've lost lives and spices because the app has stopped in the middle of me playing levels. The camera feature also burns through my battery life. Fix and I'll gladly give 5 stars.

Be aware, the game may not fully function at this point. The spices don't work at all for me, which is a huge part of the game. Uninstall/reinstall didn't fix it, even when I trashed my backup (and with it, gardens I'd purchased in the game) in case that's where the glitch was. Eden and Eden Encore on PS3 are my favorite games so I would've loved to play Obscura. Just know that if you're late to this party like I was, it may not work for you.
