Great game. Really fun, and the controls are spot on. Man, why the hell did I play that crappy Meat Boy flash game first. 
One weird bug though, when I exit the game, the program crashes instead of exiting normally. It doesn't really seem to have any negative impact, but it's weird. I wonder what's causing that.

Same thing happens with me.
Planescape Torment does the same thing. Dunno why.

They know about the crash on exit (happens every time) and a fix is coming. It doesn't affect your game, or at least they say it shouldn't!

Reading Team Meat's tweets on Twitter, it seems that some people are being huge fucking assholes and insulting them in angry e-mails.
Way to go, shitheads. What better way of encouraging an incredibly talented small indie team that it's worth making more games than being dicks to them? Is the fact that they started working on this patch the very day of release not enough for you?
I'd understand being pissed off if launch-day issues weren't addressed after a few weeks or whatever, but god forbid you have to wait an extra day to play your precious game. Are your lives that empty and meaningless that an extra day's wait warrants being a little bitch about it?

You think that's bad. I started checking global leaderboards. Right now it has it's problems. Some jerk already got 100 bandages and unlocked Mr. Minecraft and is absolutely crushing some leaderboards with no one to oppose him. Also prior to the patch that little robot Josef was bugged and moved super fast, faster than Meat Boy. Now theres times up there that no one can compete with. One of them just happens to be mine:lol
Currently topping 2 leaderboards, only 298 more to go!
Man this game is so awesome. Just hit ch5. I love it when you feel like a certain level is near-impossible and then you complete it, you wonder why you had so much trouble with it in the first place.:lol
Yeah the same thing happens to me. Although some other games have had that same issue. (for me).
Crashed like five times so far in less than three hours. Pretty terrible on that front.
Not sure what I think of the game itself. Beating the levels as far as time goes is a lot more fun than getting the bandages. Some of the latter are stupid and feel annoying compared to how quickly the stages normally flow.

I'm terrible at this game :lol Freaking spinning saws in the retro level.
After playing the PC one with a wired X360 controller for a while and feeling like there is a tad bit of lag between when I hit jump and he jumps I checked out the X360 demo and yeah it feels a bit more responsive.
It could be that I'm using an LCD on my PC and a CRT on my X360. But I'm using the "Evo certified" fastest response time LCD so I wouldn't think it'd be an issue. It's very minor (like maybe 1/10th second or 1/5th second lag), but sometimes when I'm doing a running jump off a block I just run off instead of jumping :X I'm getting used to just hitting the button a tiny bit before I need to jump. It also affects re-adjusting myself in the air for landings a little.

0s are bugged, probably will be patched out. Not sure which one Cactus Jump is. Personally besides the bugged robot one I did my second one was complete a 20 second level par in 1 and a half seconds. Turns out you can just barely jump between 2 saws and reach bandage girl a lot quicker. A lot of people figured it out and theres a ton of 2 second times. People cheated, I just cheated the bestest.
I don't know, man. As consumers they have the right to be upset when a product is delivered with serious issues. Yeah, Team Meat is small, and yeah they started working on the problems nearly immediately. But most people probably don't know the specifics, and were justifiably upset when their $10 purchase turned out to be broken.Ben2749 said:
Was it patched today? Seems to run much better than it was for me, though it does still crash when changing resolution in-game.

A+'d dark/light for world 1. I enjoy playing the game on and off and taking my time.

I didn't read the previous post about tofu boy so the tweet was the first I heard about it and found it hilariously awesome they are doing it.snack said:

It helps, but honestly I'm not super impressed with the controls given the precision needed on some of the levels, particularly the "glitch" levels. It's got kind of a... slide-y/floaty feel to it that makes a few of the sections more annoying than they should be.
Wallach said:
Really? I really disagree with that. The controls are pretty much spot on. I consider myself someone who really cannot stand floaty controls or non-premise platforming. I -hate- the way LBP controls. SMB plays pretty much like how I would expect a Nintendo 2D platformer to control. There's nothing floaty at all about the controls. If you're talking about the momentum, that's part of the way the character handles. It's not any different from how Mario accelerates, and how you use that to your advantage in tackling the stages.
As the levels get harder and harder, it becomes less frustrating instead of more. Sort of transcendent. I don't just look for a way to proceed, I look for an optimal way to proceed, and build a good time section by section as I figure out how to actually navigate the level, while developing mastery of the required execution. I might die 100 times before finishing the level, but as soon as I do I can repeat it at a high percentage and with a solid time.
Wonderful game.
Wonderful game.
Do non-completed glitch worlds stay on your map after you access them, and quit the game? I accessed the second glitch world 3 times, and it never saves on the map, and I have to go get it again.
No he's right. Meatboy has floatyness to him. This game relies heavily on pressure sensitive movements so being spot on most of the time just won't happen. It's a huge step up from the flash game, but Meatboy is too fast, and sliding to your death while running happens more often then it should.
Also, the fan mechanic is total ass.

Many levels are meticulously built for speed runs too. Because of this I find going very quickly through stages is just as easy of not easier than being slow and careful. Everything lines up nicely for clean, quick runs.

Ha ha, they're actually making Tofu Boy a playable character. I knew they would :lol
I just hope that he's terrible to control, that would be really funny :lol

Yeah, I'm enjoying the game most when figuring out the fastest routes. Not quite as fond of gathering some of the bandages so far, especially when the fans are involved. A couple of them I looked at and was like "helllllll naw" and went right on my way. :lol
Edit - Anyone playing this on Steam should add me, I want some more time scores to compete against! (Steam ID: Wallach)

Ok, the fact that they just add characters in updates like that immediately redeemed the PC version.
