Super Meat Boy is fucking incredible. I beat the game yesterday, but of course that means that I've only accomplished about 40% of it so far. Some of the levels are so mind-bogglingly difficult that they don't even frustrate me. I have to actually believe that I can beat a level for it to frustrate me.
For instance, the three levels that you need to beat to unlock the character from I Want To Be The Guy are hands down the hardest levels that I have ever experienced in any video game ever. Ever. N+ expert levels are like a gentle breeze on a warm spring day compared to the ferocity of this shit. I worked on the first level (which is one single screen) for three solid hours. After three hours, I finally beat it. I was overwhelmingly ecstatic until I realized that it was but the first of three levels that increase in difficulty with each one, and that you have to beat them all in one sitting, or start over again. After an hour of working on the second level, I called it quits. I will be going back to it, though.
