I picked this up for $0.80 and was expecting just a quirky little indie game. Maybe something I'll play for an hour tops. I don't particularly enjoy indie platformers that claim to be "hard". I find they usually just end up frustrating without being fun.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Right off the bat I found the art style very well done. The whole pixelized art style is being done to death these days, but ESJ manages to pull it off surprisingly well. Despite the overly vibrant background effects, the game world remains legible; whenever you die, you don't feel like you did so because the game was hiding the fatal element.

There are a variety of platforming challenges, so the game remains fresh throughout. ESJ has a interesting mechanic used to take down enemies. To do so you use the typical ground slam, but with a little twist that allows the mechanic to add to the gameplay in more ways than one. Instead of simply hitting the ground, you essentially teleport downwards destroying enemies in your descending path. This also opens up the possibility of using the mechanic to shave off precious fractions of seconds in time-based platforming challenges, of which there is a substantial amount. It also allows the game to remain really fast paced.

Apart from the solid mechanics, another star of the game is its soundtrack. Very stellar and well made. If you enjoy electronica, consider picking up the soundtrack as well. I did.
