The next Pixeljunk game, working title “PixelJunk 1-6″, has been confirmed as a PC game (via Kotaku).

Most importantly, you’re welcome to join in! We love chatting with you guys, so as always we’ll be lurking around here to answer any questions and take suggestions. We haven’t even thought of a name yet…”
