Time for a change: PixelJunk Lifelike is now PixelJunk 4am
You might have thought Q-Games' gestural PlayStation Move music generation and visualization game, PixelJunk Lifelike, couldn't possibly be any weirder. As if taking that unspoken feeling as a challenge, Q-Games just renamed it PixelJunk 4am. It's not necessarily so random. "4am represents the exact mood and feeling we've captured," 4am musician and collaborator Baiyon said in the announcement. "4am is that deep night hour. In clubs, the music drifts to a new level entering a deepened state that often seems removed from reality." To help you bring the concept in line with your own reality, you can view the trailer above and even check out an interactive teaser thing here.
PixelJunk lifelike preview: Mad Maestro
The half-hour long uninterrupted PixelJunk lifelike preview shown to E3 attendees was prefaced with virtually no introduction or explanation, save for Q-Games founder Dylan Cuthbert explaining to the crowd that the game which was about to be demonstrated is not a game, so that we logically shouldn't expect any gameplay. He also added -- before handing the reins to PixelJunk Eden composer Baiyon -- that the studio's unique music generator/visualizer could only be understood by seeing it in action. However, if there was any elucidation to be gained by the bewildering, psychedelic 30 minutes which followed, it sailed far, far over my head.

Q-Games' Omar Cornut and musician Baiyon put on identical tight pants and pink beanies for this trailer for the latest PixelJunk product, lifelike. This Move-based music visualizer was announced this March, though that previous announcement offered no title and much less dancing slash Move-sniffing.
