Super Meat Boy

Is the Linux port good?

Bugs and all?

Well there were two glitches in Ch 4 - Hell where one of the laser sentries dissappeared in two of the levels (lol that made those levels easier). Not sure it's OS centric or generic bug.
Apart from it it is perfect with the NVIDIA proprietary drivers. YMMV with the drivers/graphics card stack.

Another bug is that the graphics settings are not saved. Though I play with the default Window mode and resolution anyway.

Sorry... World 5 . The world with windmills.

Got confused a bit.

Any one could get the recent Steam Gift pile achievement of this game. Entire Xmas level in one play session.

[Krow]

I got it. Used a trainer. :-P

[Liverpool_fan]

Managed that level. Phewwwwwwwwwwwww.

Final boss now.

[Liverpool_fan]

Sigh the game consistently crashes with a "Segmentation Fault" on Arch 64 in the Boss Level of "The End" when..

Spoiler:

Dr. Fetus "suit" is broken and he presses the button in the remote control.

Have done that thrice and it crashes Hopefully an update fixes it ASAP. Reported it in Twitter to @SuperMeatBoy anyway.

[Liverpool_fan]

It's a confirmed bug.

This game works so well with AMD Open Source drivers.

I am at the level 3 boss. Brownie. Game has a good learning curve. Levels get easier as you keep trying. Much better than bit trip runner where the more you try, the more frustrated you get.

Patience makes this game easy.

Disagreeeeeeeee.

[Liverpool_fan]

Disagreeeeeeeee.

The epic music helped to ease the frustration for me.

[Krow]

And controller configuration is pathetic in bit trip runner. Smb is good that way.

Lol I played with the keyboard.

[Krow]

Well, this game does have a few annoying bugs. Like I fell through the floor and died a couple of times. But other times I zipped through enemies too. Mostly the game is very well-made. Those who quit this game in between, learn patience.

I finished the Brownie boss level. There is another bug here. In my case Brownie used to run very slowly at the start and pick up only after reaching the top salt hurdles. By then it was too late and he never reached the end. Even when I cleared the level, technically Brownie should have died in the salt factory.

PS: Can anyone open Team Meat (Super Meat Boy!) - Blog ? I get an Apache HTTP Test Page 2 page everytime I try.

Thumbs before fingers. Live it.

[thetechfreak]

Got this game working again. I am pretty sure my keyboard will be destroyed even before I complete half the game.

Open with Opera Turbo.

Played a bit today. Reached the world 1 boss.
apparently there are hidden levels!

[ico]

yeah, there are warp zones. Some random warp zones whereas some are used to unlock characters. eg, Commander Video in the above screenshot.

I am starting to play this now, after watching the movie- "indie game- the movie"

The random ones are all glitchy and fun. I've been playing again. Reached Rapture worlds now. This is the first time I've got this far. But it's getting extremely tough now.

[thetechfreak]

Oh dear due to some problem I lost all my saves and am back at 0%.
PC shut down directly when there was a power cut. After rebooting I got some popup from Steam about save conflict; but chose to ignore it and play.

Now after few hours I'm at 0% completion

Saw the trailer, needs quick reflexes.. "i no has it"

Play.

You'll develop them.

To all who have completed the game or even have come close: The difficulty of the last levels look unreal. The dark world levels of later chapters look more or less uncompletable. The dark levels of chapter "The Rapture" and "The End" seem like a joke by devs(heck even the light levels are hard to complete)
Trying to finish the later levels thanks to some save games from ico
