Super Meat Boy is a tough as nails platformer where you play as an animated cube of meat who's trying to save his girlfriend (who happens to be made of bandages) from an evil fetus in a jar wearing a tux.
Our meaty hero will leap from walls, over seas of buzz saws, through crumbling caves and pools of old needles. Sacrificing his own well being to save his damsel in distress. Super Meat Boy brings the old school difficulty of classic NES titles like Mega Man 2, Ghost and Goblins and Super Mario Bros. 2 (The Japanese one) and stream lines them down to the essential no BS straight forward twitch reflex platforming.
Ramping up in difficulty from hard to soul crushing SMB will drag Meat boy though haunted hospitals, salt factories and even hell itself. And if 300+ single player levels weren't enough SMB also throws in epic boss fights, a level editor and tons of unlock able secrets, warp zones and hidden characters.
Features:
- Story mode, featuring over 300 levels spanning 5+ chapters
- Play as a Head Crab! (Steam Exclusive)

Great but hard game!
Mixters | May 16, 2012 | See all Mixters's reviews »When i bought Super Meat Boy my first thought was, "well this will be a nice game to play when you're bored and so on", but so wrong I was. The beginning was pretty easy, but when you progress it gets harder and harder until it's almost impossibly hard!
I'm almost sure I've died at least 20times per level, but I still want to keep going. It's addicting, you just wanna see what happens in the story and how the next level looks like.
I don't really know how many levels there really is but I haven't gotten bored of it yet. Every level is unique and different in it's own way so I doubt the maps are, what will get boring first.
Overall a good indiegame, and well worth the money, but very hard. So if you're easily frustrated, you should probably not get this game cause you'll be screaming at your computer.

As if we were in the 90's
kalil | May 15, 2012 | See all kalil's reviews »For years I have not played the snes or sega emulators (I guess 2) and to meet again with this game that runs on a mmx certainly is a true work of art. MORE ON THESE DAYS DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LAST GENERATION PC experience low FPS NOT WITH ANY GAME TODAY THAT IS ACCEPTABLE.
while the idea of jumping obstacles there existed q 2d (upper Tues States.) I think this issue by other diverdita, entertaining, and why not? compelling.
had the analysis:
gameplay: you have stages like all games, and as we move going to ask much of us, coordination, reflexes, the truth of the best in the game.
Technology: I think it's one of those games flash simile, which are made with Tecnos like online gaming, but that is not the strong play.
Graphics: simple, colorful, cartoonish, each world or stage very distinct from the other .... The interesting thing is: HOW IS A LITTLE MEAT TROZITO, while walking leaves a trail of blood, AND IF ONE OF RE bursts THE MANY close, BLOOD SPREAD ALL OVER.
sounds: the soundtrack for the game are left background musics of the game, the subjects heard so far are quite bearable and allowed to listen.
Innovation: While the plot is typical: "I GO MY BRIDE kidnapped THE RESCUE" I believe that innovation comes from the carnesita walker and I think there Ligeresa levels are developed, I think at some point is that puts an "accelerated" and ending enthusiastic

A difficult but amazing game
nibblemonkey | May 14, 2012 | See all nibblemonkey's reviews »Super Meat Boy may be one of the hardest games that I have ever played, the first few levels introduce you to the game and don't take that much skill to complete but the later levels will have constantly restarting as you continuously die (Normally at one specific bit of the level) and not notice how many times you did fail at the level until it shows you all your attempts at once after you finish. There is also little bits of story in the game, there isn't much story to the game as it isn't the focus of the game but what is there is amusing and well animated. Overall Super Meat Boy is an tough Platformer game that is difficult but you will always want to keep trying over and over until you manage to finish the level.

Brilliant
scottnat | April 14, 2012 | See all scottnat's reviews »It's the control that makes this game. The graphics are simple fun, the gameplay fairly standard platformer - a combination of timing of movement/jumping with puzzles. But the difference between a good version of this sort of game and a bad is how accurately the characters on-screen response reflects what you've done, or feel you've done, with keyboard/controller. This game is expert at its implementation of controls.
While there's plenty of throw-stuff-at-the-wall frustration of not quite executing a maneuver, followed by 'just one more try', there's never any sense of the game itself cheating you out of a victory. And there is a genuine sense of satisfaction tackling and eventually beating the harder levels.
Should add, to, the game has a great sense of humor. Starting with the blood smears etc of smiling chunk of meat you play as.
