You aren't afraid of a real challenge? If not, play Electronic Super Joy!

This game is fantastic! Sometimes is a bit unfair, but that's how masocore games (trial and error) are supposed to be. At first, you'll lose the count of how many times you died, but with practicing you won't believe you finally passed that damn level! The pulsing music will get you pumped and also helps to make the experience much more enjoyable. There's a lot of replay value if you try to improve your times and/or want to get the achievements.

If you liked ESJ I recommend to buy the mini-sequel "Groove City". It's much more shorter than this game, but has a level editor and a lot of community made levels. It means even more replay value and some crazy stuff fans created.

I think Electronic Super Joy worth the full price, but if you buy it on a sale it's an absolute steal. Even if you're not experienced with masocore games, but are a fan of old-school platformers, you'll like ESJ. A lot!

Who cares about infuriating difficulty when the soundtrack is THIS good?

If you like electronic music, buy this game. If you like platformers, buy this game. It's a blast. It has a steep difficulty curve but thanks to plentiful checkpoints and a pulsing soundtrack that doesn't stop even if you die, frustration is minimal.

Do you want to get frustrated? Because that's how you get frustrated. 10/10 Would break my fingers again.

Electronic Super Joy is like one of those hidden gems you hear about from an old console. It is a very obscure game, which is unfortunate as it was an excellent game. The game offers levels in 2 ways. Your regular pass, and your no-deaths timed runs. This offers a new way to go back and do the levels. This is a very difficult game to fully complete, even to a massochistic gamer's point.

The greatest part is that even though the game was very obscure, the developers created a standalone add on pack for the game, and a dlc pack for the true fans out there.

9/10

Do you like jumping? Do you like smashing? Do you like spikes? Do you like Rockets(lots of them)? Then you're maybe thinking about buying this game and can only say: Do it.

It challenging sometimes nerve-racking, but never unfair.

Your mission is to defeat the pope, for various reasons.
On your way trough the game you will get to use different abilities, all of them adding unique gameplay and levels in their way. You get to fight challenging and hilarious bosses and you do all that with the great music from EnV. [Check out the soundtrack, it is worth it.] The developer really put much love in this game.

The graphics are bright and alive through the music's beat and often you notice that you're actually jumping to the beat.

As for the very direct controls i recommend playing with a controller, because that's just how you play platformers.

If you enjoy good platformers and music then i bet you'll love this game.

In conclusion, this game is nearly a perfect platformer designed with much effort and love. 1201/1337

I enjoy platformers, but none is more brutal yet satisfying than Electronic Super Joy. This game successfully blends a good gameplay mechanic with some impressive tunes. If you like platformers like I do, get it now because it's well worth the price!

It's hard to write a review for a game like Electronic Super Joy. What is it?

Electronic Super Joy is Bright. It is Loud. It is Filthy. While it sounds like I just described the experience of staring into a strobe light at a seedy European nightclub, the experience is quite different.

Okay, slightly different.

Electronic Super Joy is hard. I mean, incredibly hard. It will crush your body and leave you in the street. Yet, you will come back inside, lured by the open flame of its lights and sound.

There is no escape from Electronic Super Joy; there is only submission to the Groove.

Submit. Submit to the Groove.

You just do 3 things Jump, Die and Try to make Beatbox

Im going to start this off by saying I did enjoy the game. I enjoyed it until the point where I noticed the game itself is not "brutaly hard" as it claims, but is actually quite simple. Other than one thing. Missile spam. Spamming as manny missiles at me as possible does not make the game actually have an increase in difficulty, only a increase in annoyance. On top of the missle spam, the panning camera that does not allow you to move forward at your own pace allows the game to spam even more missiles at you. "Brutaly Hard" ? Nah, more like brutaly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Great game if you can get past the pure rage.

This game is bonkers.
It's also hair-splittingly frustrating and difficult.
But that doesn't matter because the soundtrack is too damn good.

Recommended if you want to lose your mind a little.

Challenging platformer.

Ingame music is just tooo goood

Hardcore gameplay and cool OST.

I killed the pope flying in his Holy UFO. This is almost real-life. Popetastic! 10/10

Electronic Super Joy is the sexiest, most infuriating game I have ever played. The humor is sharp and the music is awesome, and while there are many platformers that are "challenging," Electronic Super Joy feels more like Super Meat Boy on LSD. Infinite checkpoints (complete with sexy moans and oh yeahs) make sure you're never too far off course, and the gameplay is tight and constantly changing. The final boss in particular is a nerve wracking experience in that I personally both loved and despised, for it took me far too many tries to finish even though I knew what I had to do.

This game is not for the faint of heart, and there were plenty of areas that made me stop and take breaks after many frustrating failures. At the same time, the game is not strictly a barebones platformer. Many mechanics are implemented through out such as changing gravity and a constantly changing move set, but there are plenty of moments where ESJ becomes more like a bullet hell shooter, keeping the freshness around even after I felt I'd seen it all.

It feels unfair to compare this Meat Boy, for the platforming has a very different feel than many games of the genre, nor is it as nearly precise, even though it demands it. This often led me to most of my frustrations as I found it harder and harder to play out what I was supposed to do, for the controls can be extremely touchy, even with a gamepad. There were plenty of moments where my palms were sweating less out of nerves than frustration, but these sections are not common and did not ruin my enjoyment.

Plenty of modes are offered as well, including an endless runner that I enjoyed a bit more than I should've. There are also four bonus levels that you can unlock once you find all the collectable stars, but they pose a challenge that far exceeded my abilities, as I only managed to complete one of them. I got half way through the second before being driven insane by some of the obstacles, and the other two including I tried a few times before calling it quits. Completionists will enjoy the increased challenge, but for me the fun quickly waned.

All in All, Electronic Super Joy is a fantastic but flawed game that far surpasses most games that come out of the indie scenes. Strikingly unique but with a familiar feel, this game will leave you with a lasting impression and a sense of accomplishment time and time again.
