After writing an open letter explaining his fiancée's frustrations with PixelJunk Monsters' difficulty, BPPS writer Ryan Hewson received a response back from Dylan Cuthbert, president of Q-Games, saying help was on the way. Cuthbert had alluded to a major PJM patch before, but now he explains some more details of what's coming to PJM and PixelJunk Eden.
The lord of PixelJunk says PJM will receive a free patch adding Trophies, along with Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert difficulties to the game. Online rankings will maintain the existing difficulty level for fairness -- which we guess is hard? Eden will also receive an expansion pack and may receive a "namby pamby mode" for a more casual experience -- we'd settle for some control mapping functions to seperate silk and jump ... not to mention mapping the instra-drop to a button instead of waggle. No dates on any of this, but we're contacting Sony about some form of ETA.

Easier difficulty levels on PJM will be a welcomed addition. A few times I had to resort to youtube to get a rainbow

I was wondering about how you do insta-drop. I meant to look into the control screen but as soon as I turn it on I'm way to into playing to remember.
That said... waggle is insta-drop?

Pixeljunk Monsters is an awesome game but I don't think that they need to dumb down the difficulty. That is one of the things that makes the game fun. My wife and I love playing this game on co-op and trying new things until we can finally beat a level. I much rather that they release some new maps in the form of DLC.
