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 will make you question your life choices, your reaction time and possibly your monitors structural integrity. The controls are so tight it almost feels unfair that you keep dying. Almost. Each death is 100% your fault and deep down you know it, which somehow makes finally clearing a level feel absolutely incredible. It's the kind of game where dying 300 times on a single stage is just called a Tuesday. If you enjoy masochism with a side of dopamine, this is your game. [b][8.5/10][/b]
[b]Hate.[/b] Let me tell you how much I have come to [b]HATE[/b] since I began Super Meat Boy. There are almost 100,000 miles of tissue that makes up my organic form, and if the word [b]HATE[/b] was carved into every nano-angstrom of every inch of those thousands upon thousands of miles, it would not equal to ONE ONE-BILLIONTH of the [b]HATE[/b] I feel for Meatboy in this micro-instant. HATE. [b]HATE.[/b] [h3]HATE.[/h3] Besides that the game's pretty fun 8/10.
I still remember playing Super Meat Boy FOREVER!!! on my parents' phone with my brother when we were kids. It was so much fun~~~ and the game is hard as a rock, sometimes we got so frustrated, we almost smashed the phone. But we both beat the whole game!!! The mechanics and feel of it are totally different from the original game. Nostalgia QAQ. Such a good game.
