Introduction

Electronic Super Joy isn't just a game; it's your personal invitation to a digital acid trip. With minimal flair and maximum chaos, this platformer takes you through levels that'll have you questioning whether the pixels themselves are trying to insult your intelligence. The central character? He's a compelling anti-hero on a quest to reclaim his lost rear end-yes, you read that correctly. Who needs a plot thick like gravy when you can have a plot so thin you might confuse it for a hipster's selfie? Let's dive into this euphoric escapade of platforming madness!

Gameplay

Picture this: you, a somewhat questionable hero, are gallivanting through a world where the soundtrack is pulsing harder than the bass in a wannabe nightclub and your only goal is to get your butt back. You've got your trusty buttons to run, jump, and even 'smash' with that last said jump like a glorified pancake on a griddle, smashing down from high above like gravity owes you money. The game boasts a whopping 45 levels spread across three funky worlds. Each one begs the question: How many ways can I die while trying to reclaim something I can't see? Spoiler alert: a lot. Expect mazes that challenge your personal sanity levels, moving platforms that don't care about your plans, and enemies that hit harder than your morning coffee after a night of bad decisions. Yes, you'll meet bosses that are basically entitled millennials who think they own the world-or at least a world designed to make you fail gloriously. Whoever collects all 22 stars is rewarded with access to extra levels that can only be unlocked by showing off your superior gaming skills (or at least what your parents think are superior). As you propel your way through it all, don't worry-checkpoints exist. It's like having a safety net made of fuzzy pillows; still terrifying, but at least you won't faceplant every time you mess up... too hard.

Graphics

Visually, Electronic Super Joy dresses straight out of a neon-soaked rave. Picture a late '90s rave scene had a baby with a pixelated charm that would make indie darlings eyeball with envy. It's got colors that'll make you squint, art that feels curated by a particularly eccentric artist, and it all blends beautifully with the pulsating soundtrack. Seriously, if you aren't feeling the bass in your bones while dodging pixelated spikes, you might have checked your pulse. The graphics align with everything you'd expect from a game that sits comfortably at the junction of retro and 'how did I survive the '90s?' The backgrounds often feel like a fever dream from a Dali exhibition crossed with a trip down a very colorful memory lane.

Conclusion

If you're looking for a game where the plots have less meat than a salad bar but give you all the platforming joy you never knew you needed, then Electronic Super Joy could be your jam-and no, not the kind you spread on toast. Whether you're double-jumping like you owe it to your self-esteem or smashing down like not even the heavens can hold you back, you'll have fun. It's hilarious, chaotic, and not too serious... unless you're trying to finish a level without swearing. So grab a controller, put on your best bass-heavy tunes, and prepare to get your butt back-literally-in a game that's a colorful love letter to the more frivolous side of platforming.
