Electronic Super Joy: Groove City

Shorter and not as good as the original.

Tags: Platformer Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Unfair precision platformer with lack of contrast with background art, tiny platforms, tons of checkpoints and moaning on respawn. Avoid.

Game is great on SteamDeck

cute little solid platformer, little short even for 5 bucks though, but I enjoyed it since I had it and spent the money so long ago that I don't remember spending it lol. Just silly platforming fun though the over the top sexual stuff might be a bit much for some. 6/10

This pocket-sized precision jumper keeps your thumbs twitching and your groove spot rocking. New tracks and mechanics keep the formula fresh, with plenty of NPC banter to carry you through. Electronic Super Joy: Groove City beats out a perfect reprise to the original that plays perfect in a single session.

7/10 I loved the original Electronic Super Joy, and Groove City is more of the same. Thumping bass, excellent beats, and frequent moans as you keep reloading and trying to get through that difficult spot and mutter to yourself about how you were so close, you were almost there... ESJ does a great job relative to other platformers of being quite challenging while also making sure that you can reload quickly and you're never losing too much progress. I think the thing that actually sets it apart is the way that it at times becomes sort of like a bullet hell game, where there's so much happening that you can feel your focus narrowing to a smaller and smaller portion of the screen, and then you jump to that next platform... right into the enemy that you should've seen standing there, but you were too focused to look ahead. If you enjoy challenging platformers, the ESJ games are a great choice, and Groove City is another release in a really solid series. Honestly, the only thing that I'm docking the game for is that it's so short - only around 2 hours long, even if you're out of practice like me.

Its a neat trippy little platformer.

its ok for 0.25$ i guess
