PixelJunk Inc. Coming To Steam Early Access With A Sweet New Name
The latest adventure in Q-Games’ PixelJunk saga is so grand in scope and stature that a simple three-letter abbreviation couldn’t contain it, so PixelJunk Inc. becomes PixelJunk Nom Nom Galaxy, coming to Steam Early Access on March 13.
