What the hell did I just play? Electronic Super Joy 2 is a... unique game, for sure. It's free, so maybe that's why I decided to add it about 3.5 years ago. Well, I certainly got my money's worth.
Electronic Super Joy is a difficult precision platformer. It's also very... flashy, in more ways than one. There are literal flashing neon lights, very upbeat music, weird silhouettes in the background making bad jokes (or serving as a tutorial), odd erotic sound effects every time you touch a checkpoint (and other times), fart sounds when trying to use an ability without having one... and a ton of other stuff you can see examples of on the Steam page, because I both can't describe them very well, and didn't actually get to them.
You know, I'm happy that some developers are more free in creating their games, but this style of... everything... isn't really my cup of tea. I mean, I also don't like precision platformers so there was really no hope for me with this game.
But hey, if you like weirdness in your difficult platformers, then maybe this might interest you. Other than that, my best guess would be that it's not even that great of platformer. Anyways, I generally wouldn't recommend it.
