Explosive platforming in Electronic Super Joy 2
Electronic Super Joy 2 delivers a bold, chaotic take on precision platforming, mixing vibrant visuals with a pounding electronic soundtrack. Released for Windows, macOS, and Linux, the game is a follow-up to Michael Todd’s cult hit, once again leaning into extreme difficulty, playful irreverence, and a distinct audiovisual identity.
Brutal precision with a comic twist
At its core, the game offers more than 55 levels of fast-paced, punishing platforming. Success comes down to tight timing and persistence, as hazards fill every corner of the neon-lit stages. The pixel art presentation is intentionally minimal but striking, pairing intense colors with sharp contrasts to keep movement easy to follow, even when the action borders on overwhelming. Layered over this chaos is a pulsing soundtrack from artists such as EnV, GetSix, Reptiore, and PSOUP, giving the game its relentless energy.
What sets Electronic Super Joy 2 apart is its absurd sense of humor. Boss encounters throw players into bizarre scenarios, from fighting Santa to facing Mega-Satan in an over-the-top showdown. The irreverence carries through its short narrative beats, offering comic relief between the brutal platforming challenges. While the humor won’t appeal to everyone, it adds personality that most precision platformers lack.
Final thoughts
In the end, Electronic Super Joy 2 stands out as a stylish and uncompromising platformer that rewards determination. Its tight design, memorable soundtrack, and eccentric tone give it staying power, though its punishing difficulty can frustrate as much as it entertains. For players who thrive on challenge and don’t mind a game with a mischievous edge, this sequel delivers.
