“Super Meat Boy” is an old fashioned two-dimensional jump and run game. But because of the theme employed in the game, it could be very interesting to some gamers while at the same time some other gamers might find it completely weird. During the gameplay, the protagonist, Meat Boy, has to go through a complex web of difficulties such as spinning circular saws (meat cutters or grinders) as well as some scary looking characters.
What makes the game weird is that Meat Boy looks like a cube sized piece of meat. He has to escape the cutters and grinders usually found in a meat processing plant. And even weirder, he has a girlfriend named Bandage Girl who also looks like a cube of meat but with bandages all over. Meat Boy’s goal is to rescue his girlfriend Bandage Girl from Dr. Fetus, an evil scientist who can cause real trouble for Meat Boy.

It’s been a fortnight since the Epic Games Store began offering Subnautica for free. Today, that offer has a replacement; Super Meat Boy is now free to claim until January 10.
Super Meat Boy saw its initial release on the Xbox 360 in October of 2010, followed by a PC release on Steam in November of the same year. It’s certainly not a recent title, but it continues to be popular; it was also featured in the Indie Game: The Movie 2012 documentary film, along with Braid and Fez.
At the moment the game is available on Steam with a 90% discount, but Epic Games Store is offering it at the price of free. Here’s how the latter describes the game:
Super Meat Boy is a tough as nails platformer where you play as a boy without skin who needs to save his girlfriend made of bandages from an evil fetus in a jar wearing a top hat and a monocle.
Here’s the minimum requirements for the game:
Epic Games Super Meat Boy
- OS: Microsoft® Windows® XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 10
- Processor: 1.4GHz or faster
- Memory: 1 GB RAM
- Graphics: Graphics Card made within the last 4 years (Pixel Shader 3.0, Vertex Shader 3.0). DirectX 9.0c required.
- Hard Drive: 400 MB
- Controller Support: Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller or Direct Input compatible controller
It’s worth noting though that Steam includes both macOS and Linux versions of the game, whereas Epic Games Store only has the Windows version on offer. Also, Valve's Steam Input feature should be able to expand controller support further than what the game's developers support.
