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.

• Story mode, featuring over 300 levels spanning 5+ chapters
• 33 legitimate Achievements
• Warp zones that will warp you into other games
• Over 16 unlockable able and playable characters from popular indie titles such as, Minecraft, Bit.Trip, VVVVVV and Machinarium
• Epic Boss fights
• Full Level Editor and Level Portal
• A story so moving you will cry yourself to sleep for the rest of your life

Reviews:

Gamestyle:

(However) it may well find itself as a surprise entry to may game of the year lists. What it does, it does to absolute perfection. Super Meat Boy is a game made by sadists, for masochists.

Eurogamer  9/10

Super Meat Boy starts out as just another indie game that revels in driving you crazy, but you end up crazy in love.

Videogamer:

Super Meat Boy taps into the exact kind of things I want from a video game - it's bold, challenging and, above all, rewarding.

IGN:

Super Meat Boy is one of the best modern platformers. It's infuriating, exasperating, and arduous, but it's also delightful, thrilling, and hilarious.
