Super Meat Boy is a tough-as-nails platformer in which you play as an animated cube of meat who's trying to save his girlfriend (who happens to be made of bandages) from an evil fetus in a jar wearing a tux.
Our meaty hero will leap from walls, over seas of buzzsaws, through crumbling caves and pools of old needles, sacrificing his own well-being to save his damsel in distress. Super Meat Boy brings the old-school difficulty of classic NES titles like Mega Man 2, Ghosts 'n Goblins, and Super Mario Bros. 2 (the Japanese one) and streamlines them down to essential, no BS, straightforward, twitch-reflex platforming.
Ramping up in difficulty from hard to soul crushing, SMB will drag Meat Boy though haunted hospitals, salt factories, and even hell itself. And if 300+ single-player levels weren't enough, SMB also throws in epic boss fights, a level editor, and tons of unlockable secrets, warp zones, and hidden characters.
