Playing the punishingly hard Super Meat Boy is a masochistic exercise for many players. But in a GDC 2011 presentation today, creators Tommy Refenes and Edmund McMillen – the two person Team Meat – layed out the many ways that the development process was equally masochistic, at times.
“I remember looking at the calendar and feeling the panic and feeling the stress of that, and... I said to myself, 'I will die when this is done,” Refenes said, in what he assured the audience was not hyperbole. “I kept thinking, 'If I make it through, I probably won't die, but it's OK if I die afterward.'”
Microsoft is a little slow this month when it comes to announcing the Games with Gold lineup for June 2022. This has led to the lineup leaking ahead of the announcement.
Super Meat Boy was a Games with Gold title back in 2016..It's leftover Meat from 2016
I actually really enjoyed Aven Colony when it was on Gamepass. I got it for free from Epic Store a few months back.
I’ll give it another go.
"Now that we finally have a sequel to the iconic super-difficult indie platformer, let's examine both and see which one's the meat to beat." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums

The last decade wasn't the Golden Age of platformers, that's for sure, but there were still many great games. Check out Wccftech's shortlist!
They put Celeste in the honorable mentions. Such a shame, this game is premium in platforming. Rayman is also def a 10/10 platformer.
"Team Meat?"
