Where the eff is the SMB topic?? I just got this game yesterday and I'm in love with the game.
What is super meat boy? It's platforming in its rawest form. You are meat boy, he runs and jumps. What are his powers? He runs really fast. There are a ton of unlockable characters, including the minecraft guy, gish, and the head crab (in the steam version), each with their own special abilities.
This game oozes style, the music, the graphics, the old school parodies. It nails just about all of these things and more.
Gameplay is a more evolved version of N the ninja, I feel this game handles a lot better though. There's TONS of levels, there's also a darkworld, and I believe a minus world. It's got tons of replayability, oh and replays are neat to watch on particularly hard levels, you'll see all of your tries in one single replay, which you can save for bragging with later.
Who else is already on the SMB boat?? I feel like I've needed a good platformer like this, haven't had a good old school platformer in a long time, it requires twitch reflexes for some of the harder areas, and it's just overall a blast. It just came out yesterday on steam for 14.99. They also have the game released on XBLA, but I hear they don't have some of the special characters the pc version does.
