Cute and fun jumping game

If you have lots of free time to spare or just looking for something to distract you from stress, you should try playing Meat Boy. It is a very cute platformer game where you will have to jump from wall to wall in order to rescue the princess. 

Unexpectedly challenging

The first level of the game is very easy that it will make you think you are in for a simple and effortless game. win. Imagine my surprise when I found myself having a hard time trying to surpass level 3! The game has its own special twists that are really challenging. There are levels where you will find it difficult to jump from one wall to another because of how far they are apart. It would always take me several tries before I am able to properly time my jumps. Aside from timing, it is also important to be able to properly control and direct Meat Boy. Some levels are not going to wait for you try and try until you get the hang of jumping from wall to wall. There are maps that will continuously scroll upwards. You have to remain above the bottom line and not get caught in its movement, otherwise, you will restart the level. You should also look out for meat grinders! Landing on them will mean instant death so be careful.

Build your own map

Meat Boy gives you the chance to create and design your own map. You get to choose different map backgrounds and decide whether you would like to add in a scrolling map feature or to just keep it unmoving. Building blocks of different types will also be made available to you and you can use them to design your map’s path. Put walls, grass, and even meat grinders wherever you would like! Map making is equally as fun as the actual game itself. Of course, you can go ahead and try to survive your creation. You can place Meat Boy anywhere on the map as its starting point. This feature of the game might remind you of Minecraft, except it is in 2D and follows a jumping platformer gameplay.

Very easy controls

The controls are very simple and easy. You need to press on the arrow keys to control Meat Boy’s direction and then press on the spacebar to make him jump. There is nothing else you need to worry about when it comes to controlling Meat Boy’s movements. While the controls are simple, do not be surprised when you find yourself hitting the spacebar repeatedly and with added force each time. Winning the game will really just rely on being able to get the timing of your jumps right in order to complete the level and reach the princess.

Enjoyable 2D game

Meat Boy is a very fun game that you would consider an underrated treasure. It is very challenging and thrilling despite its simple graphics and design. I would say it is one of the best games you can play if you need a breather from a stressful day at work or if you just have nothing to do during your free time.
