Super Meat Boy is the answer to an impressive manner.
=========
Gameplay:
=========
In hundreds of levels you have to bring a lump of meat (Meat Boy) by running and Hüpfeinlagen from the starting point to his lover (Bandage Girl). It applies abysses, circular saws, slime monster, heat-seeking missiles, and to overcome other obstacles. As useful thereby proving for a Meat Boys speed, on the other hand the ability entlangzuschlittern on your trail of blood and thus also hochzuhangeln walls.
The whole is interspersed with wordless scenes that exude a wonderful charm with their slapstick humor and the great figures mimic.
The difficulty of the game revolves screw on very quickly, and you have to prepare yourself to always and over and over again to land in the circular to be hit by rockets, or pixel width to miss the saving platform. Several thousand deaths are inevitable.
The great and fascinating thing is that at all possible frustration it's just absolutely motivating and ultimately immensely satisfying to a level to be a matter to crack. I often stood at the beginning of each level and thought to myself: "How the hell is that possible?" To it then but tackle me work your way slowly, and ultimately to reach the finish line. Despite the difficulty of the game is in fact never unfair, and always realize that it is after all possible, even if one progresses only a few feet with every death.
Then unlockable characters come to increase motivation with their own properties as well as hidden levels added (Warp Zones).
=========
Technology:
=========
The control is kept very minimalistic (Left, Right, Running, Jumping) and works even awarded keyboard. With a little practice, you can very precise jumps perform (and it must also).
Load times, there is no, and after each death you stand in a split second back at the starting point in order to take the next attempt.
==========
Others:
==========
The game notes you that here people were at work, which are games lovers themselves. In many places references to the other games and the Warp Zones are deliberately kept in the style of old-generation consoles (z. B. with 8-bit NES graphics and -Sound). Even an Internet Meme got to the game ("Forever Alone").
=========
Conclusion:
=========
Yes, Super Meat Boy is bucking hard. But if it can not be put off, gets - dirt cheap - one of the best Jump 'n' runs since Super Mario NES debut.
