Super Meat Boy Forever

Jumping and platforming

A frantic auto-running platformer where Meat Boy or Bandage Girl race through procedurally assembled stages to rescue their kidnapped daughter. Precise reflexes and dark, slapstick humor define the experience.

Super Meat Boy

Jumping and platforming

A brutally tough precision platformer with hundreds of bite-sized, sawblade-filled levels where instant respawns keep you hammering away until you nail every jump. Its gross-out humor and replays showing all your failed attempts at once make every victory feel earned.

A brutally tough, tongue-in-cheek platformer driven by pulsing electronic music. Shifting gravity, rotating worlds and missile swarms demand precise timing and a high frustration tolerance.

Action Henk

Lots of humour
