Electronic Super Joy

First and foremost, I am miserable at platforming in games. I felt this game was challenging, sometimes made no sense, I think the story had something to do with butts?, overall was an interesting couple hours. I died 262 times on a single level (again, terrible at platforming), felt super deterred, wanted to break my monitor in half, managed to pull through, beat that level, and the rest of the game. The complaints I have are that taking away my power-ups in the game made no sense. Why would the people I am helping take away my power that allows me to help more? Then again, the story revolves around people getting their butts stolen so idk if anything is supposed to make sense. Additionally, some of the areas just felt unnecessarily hard, very precise movement and timing were needed to the point I was happy the area was over instead of feeling like I accomplished something. The positives were that the level design was sick with flashing colors and cool music to back it up. The story, although making little sense, was funny and memorable throughout he game, and lastly, although frustrating at times, I did enjoy the challenge that came along with the game. I would recommend this game if you want a challenge and enjoy bright colors and loud music!

I murdered the pope and avenged my butt.

Challenging but still enjoyable platformer with the beat.

Behind this seizure inducing 2D precision platformer from over a decade ago there is at least something to go back to. As you might tell from its title, the hook comes mainly from the music. If you're into techno and electronic music with upbeat tracks, you certainly find the urge to get through some of these platforms and obstacles while jumping and stomping on enemies. If not (which would be weird considering how the game explicitly markets itself) it helps that the challenge is not only doable but replayable from a time attack and deathless approach. Moreover, there's a mode with an endless run of a subset of short levels increasing in difficulty, a mini adventure with a couple new mechanics and the optional DLC with even more levels. However, the game isn't without its flaws as its stomping mechanic makes one fall way too fast to get used to and the requirement for coyote jumps by the end of the game can be a bit annoying. Plus, while I get that "Joy" is part of the title, having joyous moans every time you hit a checkpoint certainly isn't ideal, nor is the childish and half baked story or the fact that the in-game achievements so many years after release are still bugged. And that’s not even going into the “coming soon” leaderboards from micro hell (soon when?). All in all, this is one eyesore for some that can certainly be enjoyed more by how you can jam to it while playing it. Having said that, it's still not too late to have a QoL update.

Se me pagassem bem pra jogar esse jogo ainda assim eu não jogaria. 0/10
