About

Welcome to the world of relentless platforming and meaty challenges in "Super Meat Boy," a fast-paced indie game that became a cult classic in the gaming community. Developed by Team Meat and released in 2010, this quirky platformer combines precision, speed, and a healthy dose of humor in a pixelated adventure that is as challenging as it is rewarding.

The game follows the story of Meat Boy, a small, animated, and, well, meaty cube, on a quest to save his bandage-wearing girlfriend, Bandage Girl, from the evil Dr. Fetus. What unfolds is a series of brutal and increasingly complex levels filled with saw blades, spikes, and other hazards that stand between Meat Boy and his love.

What sets "Super Meat Boy" apart is its tight controls and lightning-fast respawn system, allowing players to master the intricacies of each level through trial and error. The game's difficulty ramps up quickly, offering a relentless yet addictive experience that keeps players coming back for more.

With its charming retro aesthetic, a soundtrack that gets the heart pumping, and a sense of humour that embraces the absurdity of its premise, "Super Meat Boy" has earned its place as a challenging and beloved platformer that appeals to fans of classic gaming difficulty. Get ready to dash, jump, and slide your way through a meat-infused obstacle course in this indie gem that celebrates precision and persistence.

Intro

Meat Boy, Super Meat Boy, Funny creature, Meat Boy, Super Meat Boy, Is he gonna beat ya?

The wheel hath spoken and hath decreed that we return to the platform genre! But this is no ordinary nostalgia trip; we're only going back as far as 2008, to a humble flash game on Newgrounds (remember Pico's Quest? Oooh, I member!) It's Team Meat's brutal magnum opus SUPEEEEEEEER MEAT BOY.

Time: 5 of the Queen's hours
Score: Progress (Level) w/ Deaths
Difficulty: Yes
**Boy: **Meat
To clarify: progress is measured by levels completed in order (no jumping from one world to another) and you should prioritise ALL of the Light World Levels before moving on to Dark.

In addition, you can ONLY use Super Meat Boy and no other unlockable characters.

Tie breaks will be determined by who can complete the most Dark Levels with Super Tofu Boy in 20 minutes.

The Deadline for this one is just shy of TWO WEEKS with the next spin of the wheel scheduled for 13 April, owing to some well deserved annual leave for me and Dec (separately, I might add!) So get your entries in by midday on 13th.

Good luck, it's going to be a bloody mess out there!

Results

1st) Fusha - 3-11 (Dark World), 1314 Deaths, Time 4:56:20
