If you had to describe Electronic Super Joy in one word, that word would be bizarre. Similar to 2010’s Super Meat Boy, Electronic Super Joy brings a sense of accomplishment that does not come with most video games. It starts off with some back-story;<\/p>\n

You lost your arm, in the Disco Wars of 1515.\u00a0You lost an eye, in the war of Rock n’ Roll.\u00a0You lost both legs, defeating DJ Deadly Skillz.\u00a0And you lost your entire butt, to an Evil Wizard.\u00a0This is the story of your quest, to get revenge for your butt.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Electronic Super Joy<\/h2>\n

There are three worlds in Electronic Super Joy consisting\u00a0of 45 levels and a fourth bonus world. Each of these three worlds includes a challenging multi-level boss fight with The Pope, a Godzilla-like monster, and the Evil Wizard who stole your butt. There are also a bunch of joke-cracking sarcastic monks from the \u00a0Brotherhood of the Beat, as well as ravers and plants that grow to the beat of the music.\u00a0The puns and orgasmic moaning at each checkpoint adds comical relief that helps lighten the mood. \u00a0 At certain times\u00a0throughout the game, you are given the ability to double jump, a downwards smash, or\u00a0fly.<\/p>\n

Each level consists of a different environment which is where most of the difficulty\u00a0comes from. Lasers, rockets, and pixelated\u00a0enemies all help make the game challenging. Flashing bright-colored backgrounds and\u00a0rotating\u00a0levels add even more difficulty. However, the game’s flashing and moving art could be distracting to the player’s eyes. There were a few times where I would look away from my monitor and my eyes needed time to adjust. I never felt sick or dizzy though.<\/p>\n

Luckily, checkpoints keep you from smashing your keyboard or drop-kicking your controller. Even though the difficulty\u00a0is a key element in the game, it could be to frustrating for some and ultimately keeping you from playing the game.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
The soundtrack\u00a0is arguably\u00a0the best part of the game. The music never felt over-powering or\u00a0out-of-place.\u00a0 You can listen to the complete soundtrack here<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>.<\/div>\n

Electronic Super Joy is available for PC, Mac, and Linux\u00a0on their website and also on Steam for 8 dollars.\u00a0 Currently, you can pick up Electronic Super Joy as part of the Alaska Bundle on\u00a0IndieRoyal<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>. That promotion, however, ends on October 1, 2013.\u00a0 The game took me roughly about 9\u00a0hours to complete, but could take any where from 7 – 10 hours, depending on your play style. If\u00a0you’re looking\u00a0for a very satisfying but challenging\u00a0platformer, this may be the game for you.\u00a0 We give Electronic Super Joy a solid\u00a08 out of 10<\/strong>, for its brutally challenging levels and superb soundtrack.<\/p>\n
