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.

You're in for a rough but satisfying experience
Xiphora | May 11, 2013 | See all Xiphora's reviews »It's undeniable that Super Meat Boy is one of the most difficult platformers on the market right now. But it's difficluty is the staple of the game. Super Meat Boy is all about trial and error, and repeating each level until you can nail i8t perfectly. Its difficulty drives a persistent player to play hours on end, and it does become very addicting once your dead set on completing some levels. You will probably rage, but completing every level is very satisfying. To know that you pushed through and persisted to the end is Super Meat Boy's greatest reward. And it VERY rewarding.

Amazing game
Infiltrator | May 6, 2013 | See all Infiltrator's reviews »Unbelievable........SMB is one of the biggest surprises I've had in gaming...period. I bought it for $3.75 on the Steam sale (what the hell right?) and have had so much fun with this game. There are a few very unique innovations that make this game stick out. First, the difficulty is there, it takes time to figure out some levels, and when you do, there's a sense of adrenaline and excitement...like, "oh no, I'm almost to the end of the level (AMAZINGLY!). Once completed, the replay is spectacular, showing all the iterations of your attempts simultaneously. The SFX and Music put many blockbuster games to shame. I'd buy the sound track if I could...and all the little meat splotch sounds are just hilariously satisfying. I'[d recommended this game to anyone. For it's type of game (Indie, platform-spam-death thing) it deserves the highest marks.

Hard, but still very fun
gonellasusana | May 4, 2013 | See all gonellasusana's reviews »I've never really put my eyes in this game since i've been given this as a gift. It's a really good piece of art. Artistically, musically, and in development.
Can't play it for more than half an hour because it generates a rage state that push you to quit the game and try again later...
I recommend it to people who miss playing the good old platformers, but need the speed of the present day games.

Frustrating yet Satisfying
bucknuckle | April 30, 2013 | See all bucknuckle's reviews »This is one of the hardest platformers ever made! You will die many, many times before completing a level and EVEN MORE before finishing the game!
The style, graphics and sound creates a strong arcade feel. The controls are extremely responsive - one of the best controlled games out.
As much as you die and may get frustrated, you keep coming back for even more of this satisfaction when you finally completing a level!

Prepare to Rage
blacklightofday | April 28, 2013 | See all blacklightofday's reviews »Super Meat Boy is a 2D platformer of the hardest kind. There are a lot of levels, some a bit easier than others, but most require a huge amount of skill, patience, some luck and a lot of willpower not to break your keyboard in half after dying for the 242th time. There are also a lot of gooddies to hunt down: hidden levels, unlockable characters. The graphics could be considered to be not-so-great, but they do their job of making you fell nostalgic, to which the music also contributes a lot to.The controls are also very precise, making it always your mistake when you fail.
