Herein lies half the fun of Super Meat Boy. Death isn’t a question of when for our little hero it’s a matter of how often and how spectacularly. And squish you shall, all over the walls, floors, blades, spikes and anything else you happen to come across. Even the stellar soundtrack follows this ideal, being rich hard rock during cut-scenes and menus then switching to an awesome 8-Bit chiptune version during gameplay.ĭon’t expect your cubey fleshiness to carry a firearm, do Kung-Fu, or anything else flashy you run, you jump, you go squish. You’d think the two styles would be a little jarring in transition, but it is done with such flair that it just becomes another element of Meat Boy’s insanity. Cut scenes are rendered in Flash-like (OK, probably Flash-exactly) clean vector lines, while in-game is a very crunchy low pixel affair. Super Meat Boy exists on two very different levels. Spiked pits, chainsaws and strange critters all conspire to keep you from giving Dr. Prepare to slip and slide your meaty self across some seriously treacherous terrain in order to rescue your beloved. This is classic arcade gaming at its best. The intro on start-up for Super Meat Boy kind of left me uninspired, but the moment the 16-bit logo came on screen and the low sample rate voice shouted the title I was hooked. It made me wish I had a knobby arcade-style joystick like the X-Arcade.
You’re girlfriend is a…I don’t know what, covered in bandages(?) who’s been kidnapped by your arch nemesis: a fetus in a mechanical body and a suit?!? OK, I can go with it… Then there are the accolades – like MTV calling it one of the best platformers of all time… Then there was that PETA thing where the animal-loving non-profit rebutted with their own platformer Super Tofu Boy to which Team Meat responded by co-opting the mushy soy character into their own game as an unlockable character that proved to be an impotent sloppy mess.
