Super Meat Boy

From Newgrounds Flash game to indie hit

Verified

Super Meat Boy, released in October 2010 on Xbox Live Arcade and in November on Steam, grew out of a 2008 Newgrounds Flash game. Its brutal platforming and a million sales made Team Meat a symbol of the indie boom, later chronicled in Indie Game: The Movie.
