Electronic Super Joy

Electronic Super Joy is a brutally hard platformer set in a world of pulse-pounding electronic music, described by its own marketing as the unholy merging of Super Meat Boy and Super Hexagon. The game runs over 45 levels across three worlds, each thematically tied to a different electronic music style and each pushing different mechanical curveballs — low gravity in some, world rotation in others, giant monsters, swarming missile waves, and difficulty curves designed to be defeated through pure stubbornness.

The story is intentionally absurd. The Evil Groove-Wizard rules the world with an iron fist. Pope Theo, Archbishop of the Church of Righteous Soul, excommunicated him before mysteriously going silent. Captain Lewis of the 43rd Queen's Disco Troop has vowed to resist his tyrannical rule. The Groove-Wizard also stole Little Anni McGee's teddy bear. The campaign is your work toward defeating him across three brutal worlds of platforming, with the writing committing fully to the absurdity throughout — too many bad puns is the developer's own description.

Over 35 tracks of original electronic music carry the entire experience, with each level choreographed to the soundtrack in ways that make the music part of the gameplay rather than just decoration. Three HUGE boss fights punctuate the campaign at major intervals. The Holiday Update adds 15 new achievements, three more levels, and a new boss fight against Spike. The total runtime stretches to 8+ hours for players actually completing the campaign, with replay value supported by leaderboards and the steep difficulty curve that ensures few players clear every level on first attempt.
