As a strict vegetarian...

My boyfriend's brought Super Meat Boy for our Steam account and despite having a putrid hatred for platformers and a dislike for the concept of Super Meat Boy being meaty, bloody and squelchy since I'm well... I'm vegetarian, I've decided to play it and I'm actually really enjoying it!

It's not the type of platformer that annoys me, I can see why it's an award winner... very simple, really good controlls,  I'm really good at it which makes SUCH a change, the only thing I dislike is the collection side of it and that's not compulsory. The meaty, bloody and squelchyness did at first bug me but I very quickly got over it as I stopped relating Meat Boy to err... dead animals and started seeing him as a separate being that isn't actually meat... just a block of red that leaves red trails? I'll try not to think about it too much, noticed you can unlock other characters so I look forward to that!

  1. Super Meat Boy is amazing! And i'm not a massive platformer fan either.

    I can see the meat thing being less of a problem when you unlock a non-meaty character.
