yeah this sux I keep getting burned by it as well. If you get a bandage and then die, basically you are risking the bug. I've modified my play style to keep playing for the bandage if this happens, then when finished exit the level. IF it's marked as collected, immediately quit the game from the menu and start it again.
it's a pain, but not as bad as doing 10+ levels, getting bandages, then next time you log in you have to do it again. Can't imagine this happening if you unlocked the kid and then next time he's not selectable.

I think I will stop playing for a while. Hands hurts, and it looks like World 7 will be a bitch!
I really wish that there was some kind of avatar award for beating absolutely everything, or at the very least clearing all of the Dark World levels. That way people would be able to show off that they managed it, and have an avatar item that not many others do.
I have two copies of Super Meat Boy for XBLA to give away on my website. All it takes is a comment on the post to be entered. Tell a friend if you already have it

FINALLY got The Kid. I may slam him into some buzzsaws just to spite him.
Can I quit after beating the dark world boss and come back to the escape later? Or do you have to do the whole fucking thing again? My hand is KILLING me. I can't get passed the cited worst part of the stage and I don't particularly want to keep the system on for eons until I'm ready to give it another try.

Luigi would be better because he has the flutter jump. Or Yoshi.
Or they could totally break the game and put Kirby in it.

god, I hated that part in the video. I don't think you can just go back to it later. That would be going easy on the player. My strategy for that part is to jump and be sliding up the wall, with meat boy on the wall exactly as the saw is in the 3 o'clock position. It doesn't always work, but it occasionally did with me.Dan said:

Controls way better, alternate characters with their own abilities, way more levels, better everything graphics/music/presentation-wise.

wow this comment brings me back.autobzooty said:
I remember playing Super Meatboy back when it was a free flash installer... oh the good ol' days.
So i tried out the demo on XBLA and sure enough i loved it just as much as teh Pc flash version, so i grabbed it while it was still 800 MS points. So worth it. So Good.

He's in Fate too.
This game is incredible. This is the first really punishing platformer I've played since N+ and I have to say that I like it even better than that game. At first I thought the unlockable characters would be just a useless extra, but there are levels or bandages that fit certain characters. While trying for par times I've also noticed that the levels are easier to get through if you just rush like hell. There are numerous levels where enemies aren't even an issue if you're fast enough.
The concept of the light/dark worlds is really well thought out. I always force myself to at least complete 5 or so dark levels before taking on the next light world, because those levels then seem easy by comparison.
Minor complaint: I could do without 'warp zoooone' every time I have to re-enter one :/
Anyone have tips for the bandages in the 3-7 warp zone, Tunnel Vision? Even with walljumping, I don't see how you're supposed to grab one of those and make it back to the wall.

which one is this? is that the keys floating around one?
If so, the answer is, it's possible to make it back to the wall, you just have to work on the height at which you jump out from and the time you turn back, you will land quite far down the wall and from memory should be jumping from below the level of the bandage.
Yup, just crazy wall jumping skills. On the bright side, the rest of that warp zone is a piece of cake, so you only have to worry about the bandages. I found these to be easier than a lot of others I've managed. Even just split them up and do them on different passes to save some stress.Creamium said:

The first of The Kid's levels was definitely the hardest for me. I must've died a hundred times there. It was really just the second wall-jumping section that got me though. All other deaths were from silly mistakes.PhoenixSFT said:
Similarly, it was the the second descending platform in his second level that caused most of my deaths. The timing was tough for me, where it wasn't for the first ascending platform.
The third level was the easiest, but I died a lot purely from exhaustion and the feeling of "I just want to get this over with." Basically, getting The Kid is as much a test of patience as it is one of skill. You have to be willing to develop your strategy, which may require death upon death upon death. The challenges weren't actually "unfair" like some of those in I Wanna Be the Guy, but the difficulty was up there with that game for sure.
Well let's think: what Indie darlings aren't playable yet:
- Dwarf Fortress (if minecraft works...)
- La Mulana
- Cave Story
- Noitu Love
- An Untitled Story (they already have ogmo.. )
- Knytt
- Eversion
- VVVVVV
- Iji
- Fez
- Shank
- Deathspank
- Darwinia (already cameo)
- Canabalt
- Dozens of japanese things (like Bunny Must Die) that i don't see happening
- Limbo
My top 3 guesses would be VVVVVV and Eversion and possibly the chick from Untitled Story.
Actually if VVVVVV doesn't make it, I bet there's a story of why.

Goddam Cotton Alley I hate thee! 5 levels I just cannot do :/
It's amazing I am still playing this, as it is sooo not my kinda game, I too rubbish to beat games like this... but still I go on. At least playing Cotton Alley seems to be making better at earlier dark world levels!
The fact I am around 4500 on the leaderboard amazes me, as I am always around 20,000+ in every other game I play
