While the blocky cartoon style isn’t exactly groundbreaking, the art is unique and does a fine job of giving this game its own undisputed signature look. We also have to commend the overall aesthetic of this game. The game allows you to use ghosts of past failures to guide you through levels, the load times are non-existent, allowing for seamless restarts and overall, the game is fun and addictive thanks to the super tight controls. However, that is ok because its about getting gradually better with each try. Sure, this game might be frustrating and yes, for many players, you will simply hit a wall and most players will not see the end of this journey. A decision that makes this game a joy to behold. It’s a game that will test you thoroughly, relies on precsion and twitch reactions and puts all it’s assets into gameplay. However, by the climax of the first stage, the player will have to master each mechanic, hit very precise jumps and slides and even then, you still might not make it through. The game eases the player in with easy tutorial levels, allowing you to come to grips with the core mechanics. So let’s address the elephant in the room. We find out in our review of Super Meat Boy. However, does it stand the test of time and still offer a fun platforming adventure. This game is one of the most difficult yet rewarding experiences of the modern gaming era. This game plays rather like other 2D platforming adventures such as Super Mario Bros., Celeste, Shovel Knight, Sonic Mania or the MegaMan series to name a few.
Well, platform games are at a premium these days but Super Meat Boy was a revolution in 2010, giving fans another damsel in distress to hunt down Princess Peach style. It’s a decision that often pays dividends, pushing players in the right direction and allowing them to enjoy the self-contained levels and stages with no need for exposition or complexity. Whether it be a moustachioed plumber or a wacky bandicoot, the developers have always emphasised style and fun above telling a story. Platform games have always gotten away with a rather bare bones narrative.
