The beta for PixelJunk 4am is live for PS Plus members. Those with a Move and a beta code can now join in on the early, limited access beta which for now only features one visualiser and one song. You can download the Free 4am Live Beta Viewer even if you don’t have a Move controller in order to stream everyone’s beta performances. During the tester, Q-Games will host “some special live performances from around the world,” including DJ Baiyon performing live from Japan. The game releases in May with 7 songs and 6 visualisers with 38 variations, 10 events and over 190 different sounds.

Q Games has announced on the US PS Blog it’ll release PixelJunk 4am on May 15. The Move-based title has been under the radar for a bit, but it remerged at GDC last month, and is looking in good form. There’s a new video of it from GDC below. Q’s also said an open beta will begin for PS Plus members on May 1.

Q-Games has announced its renamed PixelJunk Lifelike, dropping the Lifelike subtitle for 4am. Bayion, collaborator on the game, said the reason for the name switch is because it “represents the exact mood and feeling we’ve captured. 4am is that deep night hour. In clubs, the music drifts to a new level entering a deepened state that often seems removed from reality,” adding it’s “something unique that has never been tried before.” Get the new trailer for it below the break, via Joystiq.
