Continue Play's Simon Fong reviews Electronic Super Joy, the quirky and tough-as-nails retro platformer from Indie developer Michael Todd.
"Sometimes solid gameplay and having fun are sacrificed on the altar of presentation. Other times they can be side-lined by a poorly told story. More often than not though, they are let down by developers over-reaching or not having a true understanding of what it is they’re trying to create. Electronic Super Joy effortlessly avoids all of these pitfalls, and its title says it all. It’s crammed with electronic music, it’s super difficult to beat, and it’s a joy to play."
Electronic Super Joy is simply too little too late to make it a worthwhile purchase on Nintendo Switch - especially when you consider its higher price tag than even its Wii U counterpart. It does include a few extra level packs, but It's ultimately bettered by games which came almost a decade before it, so it's a hard recommendation unless you have the patience of a saint and absolutely adore the genre.
I love this game plus finished it, including both Dlc's.. 9/10 from me..a proper hardcore platformer
Wow, 9/10 is high! If you played VVVVVV, Super Meat Boy, BIT.TRIP Runner & Runner2, I'd be intrigued to hear how you think those compare?
I am a fan of Super Meat Boy, and the whole Bit.trip series in general. I wasnt big fan of VVVVV.. Electronic super joy for me is better than all of those you have mentioned, but that doesnt mean I dont love Bit.trip stuff, which I really adore
Neil writes "We're big fans of the games that LOOT Interactive drop, and so the arrival of a new four game mega bundle on Xbox One gets us a little bit excited."
GodisaGeek: "You haven't heard of this game, have you? Well, we hadn't either, but it's supposedly like Super Meat Boy so Adam thinks he's good at it."
