I had initially completly blow off and ignored both PJ monsters and elefunk based on their names alone really.

That is until i found out that they were a tower defense and bridge builder games. I have previously played and been addicted to the pc games. - i played and beat all 3 of hte bridge builder games (the one where you have to get trains across)

I'm not sure if that means anything, is someone like me their target audience with these games?

In a word, yes. These little devs know what they're doing. Even though PJ Racers failed, PJ Monsters was a big hit. It turns out alot of people are fans of tower defense games but nobody bothers to develop them on any platforms due to dev costs and distribution. However the PSN is turning this around and we're starting to see alot of creative niche titles (like Everyday Shooter) reach their audience.

Personally I'm glad that Sony is leaving the PSN as open as it is. We'll continue to see great titles without size restrictions for years to come.

I mean if it had been called tower defense or bridge builder I would have been pumped from the get go.

But instead they put these cutesy spin on the games that i dont even recognize them right off the bat.

It's not till i realized later down the line what their core gameplay mechanic was that I became interested in them.

So I'm wondering if their target audience are fans of the original gameplay, or if their goal is to bring the gameplay to more people who have never played these games before.
