    Even though I just updated my status to show my love/hate relationship, which I believe is the most apt usage of that phrase ever, I just needed a tiny bit more space to talk some more about that. 
     
    That game is hard. Really hard. Sometimes it's not hard to finish a level, but getting your time down to that A+ time can be tough. Sometimes that is frustrating, but most of the time it's awesome. I haven't played a game that has put me through so much whilst still being enjoyable since the SNES days. This is new school old school gaming at it's best, I recommend everyone at least tries the demo, which helpfully chooses a bunch of levels from different worlds. 
     
    I have managed to A+ all levels from the first 4 worlds except 1. I am leaving the Dark World for later, and am going through world 5 at the moment. In short, despite having 300+ levels that take on average 20 seconds each, that doesn't mean it's about 2 hours of game. I have gotten at least 4 hours wear from it, and I have over half the game left. A much more difficult half, may I add. Try it out, you might find something you love.

    Can go from Love to Hate and back in all of 5 seconds with this game - the most frustrating/satisfying thing is getting one of the especially son-of-a-bitch bandages, they also make for the best replays, 10+minutes of Meat Boys running to their deaths all at once. I'm also loving the little nods to older systems and games inside the Warp Zones.
