Developer Commentary
Meet Meat Boy! He's the protagonist of his self-titled debut, cleverly named... Meat Boy. A more traditional "hardcore" platformer in the same vein as Ghosts and Goblins, Mega Man and N. You play as the unlikely hero in search of your love interest, Band-Aide Girl, who's been kidnapped by a fetus in a jar wearing a suit and a monocle!

When (17 year old) Jon McEntee came to me with a very tiny little platformer engine where a little red box jumps around on walls... I knew I had to work on it with him!. Meat boy came together in less then 3 weeks and features a map editor so users can create their own levels.
