    From what I've played of it, make sure you aren't using a keyboard. If you can play it with a controller, and like challenging yet fun side-scrollers, go for it.

    Why? I'm interested in playing it, I'm just not 100% sure if it's worth the $14.99, and I'd like to know what others think.

    Its more than worth 15 dollars, the levels are pretty short, but fun and there are alot of them. Some get pretty difficult too. 
      
    Most assuredly worth 15 bucks.

    I bought it for $3.50, and I thought I wouldn't ever play it. But, I found it fun; the instant restart REALLY makes it bearable, though the game will still probably frustrate you. If you don't have any sort of patience to retry something, then hold off on it.

    It's alright, I don't really think it's fun.  Just kind of frustrating.  I was playing the demo and clicked start and accidentally bought it!

    I got it for free, but I think it would be worth $15.

    If you're big into insane, precision gameplay with the difficulty cranked way way way up, then go right ahead.

    Same difference. If everyone here had "suggested" that you buy it, it would be as good as done.  
     
    You asked me why and here it is: It's a good rule of thumb to follow. If you need to be convinced by others to buy something, chances are high that you never wanted it in in the first place. Again, don't let others choose for you as you will ultimately regret it in the end.

    Sure? I would wait for it to go on sale. Then again, I'm not totally in love with that game as some other people on these forums are.

    It's challenging but super satisfying and pretty much an awesome game in every sense of the word. Most definitely worth the 15 bucks; I have about 25 hours logged into it so far and I've only beaten half the levels. If its the difficulty that's stopping you the only thing I can think of that compares to this difficulty in recent memory is Demon's Souls which I also really liked; so if you didn't the mind the difficulty in that then I guess your good for this. There was never an unfair moment from what I've played. 
     
    The Soundtrack. That's also fantastic.

    I bought it, but now it gets to the place that says press start, and when I press start, the sound goes away. Checked the settings, and the sound is around the 40s.

    It's 15 bucks. What's there to contemplate? 
     
    As for price, I like saving money on the "larger" games because I figure they can stand to lose some of my money. A bunch of people will buy the game day one, so I should be allowed to wait until a Steam Sale. However, I like supporting indie devs as much as possible, so much so that I'm willing to spend more. In fact, I get slightly bummed when they reduce their price. As a dev, I would want as many people to play it as possible, but as a consumer, I want consumers to support the dev as much as possible.

    If you want it right now, buy it.  If you can wait a little bit, wait till it goes on sale again on Steam.

    Glad to hear you bought it. I'm not usually someone who likes their games too difficult but even I had a great time with Super Meat Boy.

    I got it as a trade against a copy of HL2 and I think that was a waste. Seriously, something about the way you drift when jumping is just really off-putting. If it weren't for the controller support and leaderboards and amount of levels, the flash version would be better in every way.
