{ Jul 30th 2008 at 9:00PM }
The first game to launch with Trophies is almost here. Finally! This stylishly addictive puzzle/platformer/rhythm game will be available on the PSN Store in the US and Japan tomorrow. No word on Europe, but fingers crossed. We thought you might like to take a peek at the Trophy list, in preparation for the game's release.
There's a distinct lack of Gold Trophies in PixelJunk Eden, but plenty of Bronzes to get stuck into. Here's the official Trophy list for the game.

Zero Wasted Pollen looks like it's going to be painful to get =/
I've been playing the demo nonstop and I waste pollen everywhere.
halebound00 @ Jul 30th 2008 9:23PM
Holy Crap, Vegan you are right. That one itself should be a gold medal. That is going to be impossible to do. They need to recalibrate these trophies because some of these just sound nuts.
RatBoy @ Jul 30th 2008 9:26PM
Agreed, the rest look very doable, but zero wasted pollen is gonna be crazy difficult.
TuxBobble @ Jul 30th 2008 11:25PM
Do they mean the full units of pollen, or what comes out of them? i.e. if you pop one, pollen comes out...
If you don't pop them, does it count as missing pollen? Because if not, it's very doable...Just have to be very deliberate about your movements...
Albanian_Killa @ Jul 30th 2008 11:49PM
Damn some of those Trophies are hard. Anyway, Trophies need to provide a challenge. That's the point of them. I had a hell of a time unlocking SSHD trophies. It took me a while, but I got 10x multiplier. I have all the trophies except the add-on trophies since i don`t have the add-ons.
Jack @ Aug 5th 2008 4:52PM
Makes sense the way Bobble put it.
But yeah, I've been playing the demo and I love it! Can't wait for pay day to unlock it!
John @ Jul 30th 2008 9:36PM
Well, I've achieved one trophy so far... but the last couple Bronze trophies sound quite tough!
Ten Minute Grimp - I've done the first level in 14 minutes.
15 Crystals - Sound like you need a good swing, and a lucky fall.
Zero Wasted Pollen - Dunno how achievable this one is.
Anyway, that stuff is all bragging rights to what looks to be a fun game already. I'm glad the levels are a bit shorter than Monsters. That game sucks hours out of the day with 20 minute levels, though highly entertaining.
Is it Thursday yet?
/impatiently watches clock...
VeganTnT @ Jul 30th 2008 9:45PM
15 crystals won't be too bad.
Remember a 5x Pollen Prowler combo gives you a bunch of crystals so if you are going after the 15x Pollen Prowler Combo Tropy then it would only take a lucky swing to crab up all those crystals

"No word on Europe, but fingers crossed."
Another job done well by the European Playstation Store Team. *Sarcastic clap*
Jesus, did Gabe Newell and SCEE bet to see who could screw us over the best?

I really hope some of these trophies don't prove as difficult as some of the SSHD did.
Arnon @ Jul 30th 2008 10:07PM
What's the point of getting trophies then?
Young_Jey @ Jul 30th 2008 11:08PM
yup, i have almost all of the arcade trophies exept for the 5 shields one and the x10 multiplier witch i almost got today until i died for the first time on the 2nd or 3rd phase of the 3rd planet with a x9 multiplier
Woz @ Jul 31st 2008 8:44AM
The arcade ones were fine. It's the Endless and Late Boomer one's from the first expansion that I had exception with.
Dan Davis @ Jul 31st 2008 11:03AM
Amen, Woz! The Late Boomer and the survive for 7 minutes one are freakin' HARD!
Waqman @ Jul 30th 2008 9:41PM
Some of these Bronze ones sound like they should be gold or silver. Especially zero wasted pollen.
guillemot @ Jul 30th 2008 9:47PM
Well!
Price of the game?
linebeginstoblur @ Jul 31st 2008 2:25AM
$9.99.

"This stylishly addictive puzzle/platformer/rhythm game"
This is a rhythm game? Like, press a series of buttons to a tune? I missed that part in the demo, and I played the demo a lot. Sounds neat, but I don't know how well it'll integrate into what I've already played.
thinkofmeasmra @ Aug 11th 2008 2:33PM
no its rythme based cause as you get pollen, jump, get crystals, etc, you make noise that can go along with the music (sorta like everyday shooter)
Iced_Eagle @ Jul 30th 2008 10:08PM
Jebus, that's a bunch of hard trophies!
I assume they are going to bring in more silver / gold with DLC. :-\
Erik Hansen @ Jul 30th 2008 10:27PM
sshd co-op was a gold and that was 2 player this is 3 player, why isnt that gold. All Spectra, Zero Wasted Pollen and Ping Pong should be Gold or Silver
Young_Jey @ Jul 30th 2008 11:10PM
so dus that mean it comes out at midnight?
Kodros @ Jul 31st 2008 5:35AM
No, not until the store is updated. Usually late afternoon, early evening EST.
HanzoTheRazor @ Jul 30th 2008 11:19PM
Ofcourse there will be DLC and u can bet to see more trophy goodness. A few more silver and a gold, I would say. A must buy for me on day 1!Now, bring on the Uncharted & WarHawk ones already. :p
John @ Jul 30th 2008 11:21PM
Good news Eurogamers:
From Deborah Mars:
"Absolutely. It will be on the PS Store Thursday, July 31 in N. America, Europe and Japan."
linebeginstoblur @ Jul 31st 2008 2:25AM
These are horribly distributed. One silver trophy? No gold trophies? AND TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE INSANELY HARD BRONZE TROPHIES! Something makes me think that whoever came up with the trophy requirements and category they go in never played this game.
John S @ Jul 31st 2008 2:25AM
Can't wait for the game. Price will probably be like all the other games, $9.99.

EvoAnubis @ Jul 31st 2008 5:22AM
Ok, I guess I'll put this here too.
The thing is, under the hood there's a point system for the different levels of trophies. A PSN game can only have so much upon release, and then so much for an add-on. PJ Eden clearly needed more trophies. More trophies = lower levels for each one.
That's why PJE w/o any expansion has 20 different trophies, while SSDHD only had 12.
Let me do a further breakdown:
SSDHD: 7 Bronze, 4 Silver, One Gold
PJE - 19 Bronze, One Silver
SSDHD 1st expansion - 2 Bronze, 2 Silver
SSDHD 2nd expansion - One Gold
Now, let's apply a point value for each one, for argument's sake.
We'll say Bronze = 1, Silver = 2, and Gold = 6. Let's look at it keeping that in mind.
SSDHD - 21
PJE - 21
SSDHD 1st expansion - 6
SSDHD 2nd expansion - 6
That make sense?
For verification, let me also post the response I got when I put this post on the PlayStation.Blog:
"Dulan Cuthbert replied on July 31, 2008 at 12:47 am
Yes, that’s roughly the theory behind it.
We give you the same amount of experience points but with more trophies rather than just having a handful of trophies that are gold or silver. We have to choose how to spread the experience points but in the end the player gets the same amount total."
ali_D @ Jul 31st 2008 6:03AM
just some things i notice from ur post, 1st there is no TROPHIES IN THE demo of PJ-EDEN and it not out yet so how da fck john say a got trophy, and 2nd i agree with the post who say about trophies points i got 13 trophies so far in sdhd my mate got 13 trophies same type as me with same green line on level 2,i saw sum1 on player meet list, he/she hav also 13 trophies but they green line was more fill in becuz they had gold.
franoculator @ Jul 31st 2008 11:15AM
Stupid question: am I the only person buying this because it's an awesome game, (based on my evaluation of the demo) and not for the trophies?
TuxBobble @ Jul 31st 2008 7:09PM
No, I'm doing it too. Wouldn't have bought it if I didn't find it fun. But I'm still going to try to earn the trophies. No real reason not to if they're there.
Sound_of_snow @ Aug 4th 2008 9:26AM
the patch for trophies for uncharted is out now guys :) ive just downloaded it Woot!, Nothing to do with eden like but just thort id let you guys know (Y)
Rasti @ Aug 29th 2008 8:20PM
The "Zero Wasted Pollen" trophy is infact meant to say "Get all 5 spectra from a garden without wasting any pollen" and NOT "Open all seeds". Seems there was an error in translation.
And I quote:

Thanks for spotting that!
(so the trophy appearing only when you get to the result screen is the correct behaviour because it is only after the fifth spectra that it can be determined you haven't wasted anything)"
