Q-Games’ co-op PixelJunk title, All You Need is Help, is out now on Game Pass

Q-Games has released its latest PixelJunk game, All You Need is Help, for consoles and PC.

Announced during the Xbox Tokyo Game Show live stream on Thursday, the co-op puzzle game is now available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox/PC Game Pass, PlayStation 5, Windows and Steam. A Switch release is planned for October 4.

All You Need is Help is a puzzle action game in which four players work together to fit their creatures into place. The game features over 100 levels, as well as various mini-games, in which players will transform into a unique shape.

“At its core, All You Need is Help is a puzzle game where you are unable to rotate your own character, so like the name suggests – you really need to help each other by rotating your characters and working together to find the solution,”explained Q-Games CEO Dylan Cuthbert.

“With the global lockdowns, I became increasingly concerned about the lack of good co-op games. All You Need is Help was born out of the team’s inability to closely communicate with each other during the pandemic as everyone kind of got buried in their own bubble.

“For two weeks, we held a game jam at the office and made a variety of prototypes. All You Need is Help was the favorite and helped the staff come together at a difficult time, providing a sense of cooperation and camaraderie. I think this game will be a great experience for families and friends, and bring people closer to one another.”

He added: “Players will need to look around and figure out how to fit together into the various puzzle’s solutions. While your creature can move and run about freely, they are totally unable to rotate.

“Instead, everyone needs to help out their friends and push them around to the right angles. I look forward to seeing how players communicate with each other and all the chaos that will ensue!”
