Super Meat Boy is manic platforming distilled into the purest possible form. Theres no enemies and the gameplay is stripped down to the most basic elements: youre just running and jumping through hundreds of levels, usually at warp speed since Meat Boy plays super fast.

The game also has this everyones here feel from the indie perspective since they packed it full of cutesy references from other games of its time. It actually feels kinda funny to go back to it and see platforming mascots from the 2000s since so many have come along since then. An updated Meat Boy would be interesting to see given how many thousands of notable indie games have come out since then. Notable indie games werent as plentiful in 2010.

This game is completely up my alley. Unfortunately, I also kinda dont like the weight with which Meat Boy moves. Theres so much gravity and inertia working against you here. Meat Boy ends up feeling kinda like Sonic, a game where you can go fast but never really have a lot of control over what your character is doing. Well, I shouldnt say that. You *do* have complete control over Meat Boy. Its just not the kind of movement that I want. I still like this game despite it, but it limits my enjoyment.
