This game has a sick sense of humiliation by beating you down to the ground with each level and forcing you to play through them over and over again until you can complete each level without dying. This game taught me that with the power of love, I can overcome death-defying obstacles like homing missiles and moving saw blades to rescue my lover from an angsty evil post-embryo doctor. I have successfully maneuvered through every instance of challenge this game has to offer me, now it is time for me to find a girlfriend and show her how well I can perform parkour stunts to win her heart. 10/10 would recommend, especially if you are a masochist.

love how this game makes you have godly precision after you beat the level, and you get to cackle and snicker at your old tries, in the replay

Tough as NAILS, especially the later worlds. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys difficult platfromers if you can deal with the fact that Meat Boy is very floaty (basically the opposite of madeline in celeste).

SUPER MEAT BOY: AN INDIE MASTERPIECE (All this review is just my opinion, if you have a different opinion I'd love to read it) Story: 5/10 Not much of a good story, just save your gf, but the game focus on the gameplay, so it's not a big deal. Characters: 8/10 Although none of the characters say anything, they're very charming. It's amazing 'cause I've played other games that focus more on their characters and their development, but in the end I don't care about them, while in Super Meat Boy I liked most of the characters. Game art: 7/10 For me, the game art is not that good. However, since it's an indie game and was released in 2010, it deserves a solid 7. Gameplay: 10/10 Simple but excellent. Level design: 10/10 The level design is great, one of the best I've ever seen in a platform game, although the levels are difficult, if you master the movement you can beat them in less than 1 minute (and it's so satisfying to do so). Also the difficult progression between worlds is smooth. Soundtrack: 10/10 Super Meat Boy's songs are such a banger, each song gets better and better as you progress through the worlds, and they fit perfectly with the speedy feel of the levels. I never get tired of them. Replayability (Not counting achievements): 8/10 Since the very beginning of the game, it offers 4 types of replayability: [*] Bandages: There are bandages in certain levels, you can go and collect them as you play, but it's quite likely that you won't even get half of them before you beat the main story because you don't have enough experience or you don't have a specific character. As you collect the bandages, you unlock characters (from other franchises, which is fockin' awesome), each with different abilities. There are 20 bandages per world, for a total of 100. [*] A+ grades: Each level has a timer to beat, if you beat it you'll get the A+ grade and unlock the Dark World version of the level, if you beat all the Dark Worlds you'll get the real ending. [*] Warpzones: In every world (except The End and The Cotton Ally) there are 4 warpzones, 3 in the light world and 1 in the dark world. A warpzone is a hidden portal in a level, and when you enter one you'll be teleported to an 8-bit zone, with only 3 levels, but also with only 3 lives per level, if you lose all your lives before passing the 3 levels you'll get kicked out of the portal and have to restart (you can enter it from the map though, since you've already unlocked it). In each warzone there are 2 bandages, except for the character warzone where you play as a special character, and when you beat this warzone you unlock it. [*] Glitch levels: These are like warpzones, but there's only one per world, and they only appear after beating the boss of the world. When you replay a level there's a little chance for bandage girl to glitch, when you touch her you'll get teleported to a single 8-bit level, with only 3 lives too. I think beating these levels doesn't contribute the 100% of a world, so you can try to find n' pass a glitch level or not. Some problems: I had a problem at the very beggining because meat boy moved 1 or 2 seconds after I pressed the buttons of my controller. I thought it has no solution, but playing with the settings I ended up fixing the problem, how? i don't know, but it is fixed (I keep playing with my keyboard cause I got used to it, though). Final grade: 8,8/10 It's a great pioneer indie game, a master piece indeed. If you haven't played it yet, you really should!! The feeling of satisfaction for finishing the game was overwhelming. Now I will take up the challenge of getting all the achievements. I'm sure I'll die, get angry, and cry a lot trying, but if I succeed, it will be the happiest moment of my life, and if I fail, at least I can say I tried. P.D.: I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID TO C.H.A.D., MEAT BOY!!! P.D.2: Brownie is a hero without a cape, he will be forever in my heart
