Super Meatboy (Want to share my frustration)
Re: Super Meatboy (Want to share my frustration)
I watched all three levels. That was painful, and you're definitely a better man than I for putting up with all of that. Yeesh. Congratulations on beating that, you've definitely earned it.

Re: Super Meatboy (Want to share my frustration)
Glad someone is playing this. I am shocked that only two fellow Racketboy members on my friends list also has this game. If you're playing, add me: Radarscope1.
The game is nothing short of stellar. I have the Madcatz drumpad and, despite the level of difficulty, it's a joy to play. Perfect mix of frustration vs progress. Of course, I haven't tried to tackle the Kid warp yet....

I played the demo. I found it irritating that you have a limited number of lives in the retro/warp areas. Not really suited to such a trial and error game imo.

Just added u on xbl Radar! And yeah I totally agree. 10/10 for meatboy. It's competing for my personal GOTY game.

It's only for some of the warp zones (only found 3 of that kind so far) and tbh they're pretty easy once u get the hang of it. You can still retry them as many times as you like!

I recently beat the game and never actually found that warp zone. I'll have to go back to try it out.

Easy there! You know I would have bought this - Day One, but I'm currently unemployed. A lot of free time, but no monies... I'll have it soon enough, then your level times will fall!

Been wondering where you were on this one. It's right in your wheelhouse.
@Jrecee - those warp zones are maybe 4% of the overall game. They are bonus levels designed for extra challenge, hence the limited lives. The other 96% of SMB is much more fast paced. Shame to judge the demo and the game based on the warps.
