The game is designed around shorter levels which you can typically complete in around fifteen seconds. There’ll be the likes of vicious saws, deadly enemies, perilous spikes, and devastating liquids to cause you harm throughout your adventure though, and believe me, you can expect to meet your end quite a lot. Using these together, you’ll run, jump, dash, and bounce your way across a wide range of levels (over 300) that have been designed to push the player’s skills to the absolute limit. Everything is controlled with two buttons: one for jumping and one for dashing. The gameplay itself is very simple, adopting the age old mantra of being ‘easy to learn, difficult to master’.

It’s thoroughly entertaining though and fits in well with the whole ‘brutal’ theme of the gameplay – seeing a harmless little squirrel get wiped out by a wayward saw whilst grieving over his dead brethren shouldn’t have made me laugh (but it did), whilst Meat Boy’s grim approach to finally taking care of the vanquished boss C.H.A.D. Yeah, it sounds bizarre, and it absolutely is.Įverything is told through cutscenes with no talking, but it’s not difficult to see that it’s a dark little tale. You take on the role of the titular Meat Boy as he looks to rescue his girlfriend (the beautiful Bandage Girl) from the nefarious Dr. Whilst it’s easy to look at Super Meat Boy as just another tough platformer, there’s actually a point to the adventure. It was bloody tough though, but a good tough. It’s actually worked out well for me shamefully, I never finished the game when it originally launched, but I’ve finally been able to rectify that.
