    Great title

    I belong to the old school generation of players going back to NES and before. This title is amazing for lovers of classic platform games. A great tribute to 8-16/bit games. Levels are diverse and extremely challenging, they are also designed to enable speed running. The music is very well crafted, it has the 8-bit feeling yet if has a modern pace and energy, it's capable of evoking old times while keeping you motivated to keep going when levels become very hard to beat. A highly recommended title to play for hours, i only stop when my thumbs are hurting. This game is highly recommended I have been playing this game for hours and hours and it really takes me back to the days when you had to really master every inch of a level in order to finish a game.

    I hope to God you are good at Platformers, otherwise you won't stand a chance.

    This game is brutally hard, it's the Dar Souls of platformers, this will challenge even the best of platforming pro's, however if your patient and persistent you will eventually emerge triumphant. This game was clearly made for an audience who grew up in the 90's, a time where games pretty much taught you how to swim by throwing you into a shark-infested river, and it shows with an art-style and chock full of references to games of past.

    Super Meat Boy: A challenging, addictive, and hilarious indie platformer

    Super Meat Boy is a challenging, fast-paced platformer developed by Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes. The game follows the story of a meat-based protagonist named Meat Boy as he attempts to rescue his girlfriend Bandage Girl from the clutches of the evil Dr. Fetus.

    The gameplay of Super Meat Boy is tight and precise, requiring quick reflexes and precise timing to navigate through the game's challenging levels. The game features a wide variety of obstacles and enemies, each of which requires a different strategy to overcome. The game's difficulty is tough, but fair, and the instant respawn after death allows players to quickly retry levels, encouraging players to keep trying to improve their skills.

    The game's art style is simple yet effective, with a minimalist aesthetic that perfectly captures the game's sense of humor. The game's soundtrack is also noteworthy, with a great selection of tracks that perfectly complement the game's fast-paced action.

    One of the highlights of Super Meat Boy is the level of replayability, the game features a large number of levels, each of which can be completed in different ways and each level can be played again and again to try to beat your best time or to find all the collectibles. The game also includes a level editor that allows players to create their own levels and share them with other players.

    Super Meat Boy is a must-have for fans of challenging platformers and indie games. The game offers a high level of difficulty, tight and precise gameplay, and a great sense of humor. It's a game that will test your skills and keep you coming back for more.

    Overall, Super Meat Boy is an excellent platformer that offers challenging and precise gameplay, a great sense of humor, and a high replayability value. It's a game that will appeal to fans of challenging platformers and indie games and it's a classic in the genre.

    100% AMAZING.

    All of the reviews you see here are probably bad ones - because they're bad at the game. One says that the controls are bad, but actually the controls are really easy to navigate and remember. Play this game now, you won't regret it.

    Tedious and trash controls

    Trash graphics, trash story, trash controls, and overall just annoying game. The tutorial is incompetent and unwelcoming to new players to the game,

    The sound design and the soundtrack also lack any good content or symphony.

    2/10

    • Trivia
      Initially the game was planned for Nintendo's downloadable Wiiware service, however the final game ended up being larger than that service's maximum size limit. The team thought about doing a physical release for the system but were persuaded not too by other publishers who told them that people weren't buying Wii games in sufficient enough numbers to warrant the cost. Years later, Super Meat Boy at it's sequel became available on the Nintendo Switch eShop.
