Super Meat Boy is a 2010 platform video game developed and published by American indie studio Team Meat. It was designed by Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes as the successor to Meat Boy, a 2008 Flash game designed by McMillen and Jonathan McEntee. In the game, the player controls Meat Boy, a red, cube-shaped character, as he attempts to rescue his girlfriend, Bandage Girl, from the game's antagonist Dr. Fetus. The gameplay is characterized by fine control and split-second timing, as the player runs and jumps through over 300 hazardous levels while avoiding obstacles. The game also supports the creation of player-created levels. Super Meat Boy was first released on the Xbox 360 through Xbox Live Arcade in October 2010, and was later ported to Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Wii U, and the Nintendo Switch. A Wii version was in development but was ultimately cancelled.

Runs well on modern hardware.

Super Meat Boy vastly outperformed one "biz guy" who would "make up numbers" and pulled the plug on its marketing
We've all relished in those "I told you so" moments from time to time, but only a handful of humans on the planet can be proven as wrong as whoever su
