## What is Eden Obscura?

Welcome to a paradise of sound and life.
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.

================================

This app requires the camera feature to be turned on.

*2025-10-19, version 1.3.018*

i love pixeljunk eden and this is nice to have when i have down time! eden’s controls work really well with the touchscreen, overall very fun

### 3/5 — 音が鳴らないことがある

*2025-06-03, version 1.3.018*

久しぶりにプレイしようとしたら音が全く鳴らなくなっていました。(第9世代iPad バージョン18.41)
BGMや効果音の雰囲気が好きだったので改善してほしいです。
追記
ショップを開くとクラッシュします
イヤホンを繋いだら音が鳴りました

### 5/5 — Challenging and Fun

*2025-04-12, version 1.3.018*

The game is based off of a PS3 game and adapted for iPhone. The soundtrack is great, and the game is fun. The controls take getting used to. Just don’t take things too seriously, and you’ll have fun and enjoy the gameplay.

### 4/5 — ビジュアルとサウンドが最高

*2024-07-02, version 1.3.018*

3日前くらいから、左上の「Shop」を押すとアプリが落ちるようになりました。アプデでもないようなので私の環境のせいかな？なんでだろう…。//PS3時代から好きなゲーム。操作に慣れるまで苦労するが、コツを掴めばサクサクプレイになる。カメラと連動しているのでバッテリーの減りが早い。途中にあるシード○には目もくれずに、かなりのスピード感を持ってチェックポイント▽まで素早く到達して繋ぎ、ゴールのスペクトラを目指すワイヤーアクションゲーム。左上の残機数以内に、表示されているステージを全部クリアできれば次へ進める。時間との勝負なのでスピード感が最も大事！その為に、まずは操作に慣れる所から。。

### 3/5 — 楽しい、けどムズい

*2022-11-03, version 1.3.015*

私は植物が少し好きです。
だから、このゲームはある程度楽しいです。
しかし、ひとつのステージをクリアするのが
難しすぎます。ゴールまでたどり着けません。
ゴール地点が分かるようなヒントを、
各ステージに用意していただけると幸いです。

### 4/5 — Fantastic game play, great replayability

*2021-08-08, version 1.3.015*

I fell in love with the original PixelJunk Eden on our PlayStation 3 years ago. I could easily spend hours playing it. I was delighted when it came to iPhone/iPad. Much of the game play is the same, with some good adaptations to the touch-screen format. Great replayability. Addicting. Enjoy!

### 5/5 — ずっとやってられる❗

*2020-11-01, version 1.3.015*

とにかく背景は綺麗だし、やりやすい！今は、愛用しています😊

### 3/5 — キャラクターが…

*2020-08-03, version 1.3.015*

音楽、グラフィック共に素敵です。ゲームとしてもゆるやかで良いな〜と思います。
ただキャラクターが好みではないです。なんだこの生物…キモ可愛いってやつか…？
幻想的な世界に合うような可愛いキャラを操作したいのでこの変な生き物は私に合わないみたいです。

### 5/5 — Fantastic!!!!

*2020-07-18, version 1.3.015*

This game is so great.  It’s nostalgia of the other games made by Q. Pixel junk eden is one of my favorite games ever made, so a smart phone port makes me very happy.  Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — good!

*2020-03-07, version 1.3.015*

ジャンルで言うとワイヤーアクションのアクションゲームで、懐かしいのだけど、独特な世界観と操作で新しく感じて不思議な魅力があるという感想です。音と生命の楽園というキャッチコピーがとても合っている。
