Board 8 > Hey transience (or groupies)

(+) Yeah! (+)

I just bought Super Meat Boy and am starting to get into some difficult indie platformers and the like.

Does anyone have his most recent favorite games list? I know it's mostly full of things like this and I'd like to buy more ok thank you.
---

Bleed 2 and N++ are the main two he would tell you
---

Dustforce

The End is Nigh was created by Meat Boy's creator as well
---

Yeah actually Dustforce I think is the best out of all of these.
---

Was the list archived?

@Mr_Lasastryke
---

yeah, i can probably find his list but i'm super busy right now (hence why i haven't been posting much lately).

i'll get back to this topic on monday probably.

(or maybe transience can make a new, updated list? last time he did one was last year, i believe.)
---

Super Meat Boy
The End is Nigh
Bleed (need to play Bleed 2)
VVVVVV

This. Collect all the strawberries.

Bleed looks amazing. Looks like the physical collection is for PS4 only though.
---

oh yeah Celeste duh
---

up
---

bump
---

oh hey. I love how people see super meat boy and just assume I'm all over it because it's an indie platformer. it didn't make my top 100 last time 'round.

what do you like about meat boy? if you can describe what it is that you like then I can rec you some stuff. I'll always rec n++ to anyone alive, but I might be able to find something more up your alley.

edit: just realized this topic is a month old so you've probably found something already. apparently the purge rate finally got changed too?! oh board 8 you're not actually allowed to change what is this
---

yeah, the purge rate changed sometime ago which is really cool.
---

@Nelson_Mandela you got a response dawg

Oh shit thanks Lasa for caring!

Yeah man, I've just been digging SMB lately because I'm an adult now and this game is basically catered to my schedule. I generally stop playing anything that requires backtracking or "wastes my time" now, but the SMB formula seems the opposite of that.

Basically I'm looking for anything that can be satisfying in short bursts (insert @ExThaNemesis joke here) and make me feel like I'm progressing even if I'm playing 30 minutes at a time. The mega man legacy collection on switch is really hitting the spot right now if that's any indicator.

yeah, get bleed or bleed 2. bleed 2's better but will cost you more and you can always go to 2 if you like 1. the game goes on sale all the time for between 2 and 5 bucks. warning though, it's more of a run and gun, contra-like than something as purely level based on meat boy, and the game is probably about 90 minutes long if you're good. (you won't be). it's fast as hell and feels real good to play.

vvvvvv is an easy rec. it plays fast like meat boy and is really easy to like. will also kick your teeth in, especially if you want to go for 100% (which you will).

n++ is, I think, much better than meat boy and has a ridiculous amount of content, but I wonder if you'll like its floaty precision physics as compared to meat boy's heavy and fast style. it's still amazing though, maybe the best game ever, certainly in the platformer space.

celeste is also highly recommended. you don't need me to tell you about that one though.

if you've got an xbox or pc, give ori a look. cave story's on a lot of different platforms now and is one of the all time games. these are more in the metroid style though, so don't expect quick bursts in quite the same way.

if you want a more nuanced and thoughtful experience, as compared to pure adrenaline, give spelunky or crypt of the necrodancer a shot. or braid, I guess.

Bleed looks like exactly what I need in my life. I'm a mark for physical releases on Switch though, but here's hoping one day...
---

But apparently there is a Bleed bundle for PS4!
