Sex positive platforming, an excellent meta-commentary on how videogames, much like sex, affect our dopamine receptors. The dialog comes stream of consciousness and clearly written by a crazy person. Also, you play against the ghost of someone on your friends list, that's some pretty decent tech. A toy of a game, but I'm not gonna hate on a good college try.

7/10 I loved the original Electronic Super Joy, and Groove City is more of the same. Thumping bass, excellent beats, and frequent moans as you keep reloading and trying to get through that difficult spot and mutter to yourself about how you were so close, you were almost there... ESJ does a great job relative to other platformers of being quite challenging while also making sure that you can reload quickly and you're never losing too much progress. I think the thing that actually sets it apart is the way that it at times becomes sort of like a bullet hell game, where there's so much happening that you can feel your focus narrowing to a smaller and smaller portion of the screen, and then you jump to that next platform... right into the enemy that you should've seen standing there, but you were too focused to look ahead. If you enjoy challenging platformers, the ESJ games are a great choice, and Groove City is another release in a really solid series. Honestly, the only thing that I'm docking the game for is that it's so short - only around 2 hours long, even if you're out of practice like me.

Shorter and not as good as the original.

Light 7 /10
