Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

PixelJunk Shooter is a vibrant 2D shoot-’em-up, which challenges the imagination as much as it does your thumb dexterity. As a drop ship tasked with the rescue of trapped scientists, players must navigate subterranean caverns, shoot enemies and avoid incoming missiles all at once; just as well, then, that piloting the craft is a joy. Complicating matters further is the presence of lava, water, explosive gas and magnetic ooze; only by manipulating the relationship between these phenomenon – water solidifying lava for example – can players progress. Another inspired release from PixelJunk that’s well worth downloading.
