This sure is a cute platformer with lots of gore.
Super Meat Boy is a platformer where all you do is run, bounce and repeat. The controls are simple – left, right, run, jump. The goal is to avoid traps and stay alive – and in order to do this, you’ll have to run to a wall, do a perfectly timed combo of run-jump keypresses so that you actually bounce off the wall, then land squarely into a spot where there isn’t a deathtrap.
Where do people find so many creative ways to impede me?
There are many stages in this game, but the eventual goal is to reach Bandage Girl, who basically is a more fanciful finish flag with a kidnapping story behind her. In order to reach her, you’ll eventually mess up and repeat is what you’ll do a lot, because if you mistime your steps, you restart completely at the beginning.
The game does offer some respite from the same old routine. There are some Bandages which you can collect, at the cost of making things tougher for yourself, which will allow you to unlock more characters with their own special ability, as there are special areas which will make the level easier for you.
The Steam version of this game runs good on a netbook.
