Aside from the game being the bastard lovechild of Sluggy's Adventure and 4chan it's a pretty neat game. It's like a well-polished Game Maker platformer except crammed with unlockables and game modes.

Even if I don't really agree with the huge following it's gotten from the indie scene I think it's cool to see indie games taking a step up from being rough in their presentation to qualifying for Steam and Xbox Marketplace. Every segment of the game has a great level of detail put into them. Every world has an animated intro and an outro - as do most bonus levels - and there are tons of neat sections with their own specific cutscenes, art directions and themes that are only unique to those areas.

So yeah. The game's prolly worth getting if you're willing to pay for a polished indie run and jump platformer. Anyone else tried it?

ofWow, that's nuts. I read on the Meat Boy blog that there was some weird Twitter flamewar involving PETA, but I had no idea that PETA went out of their way to make a Meat Boy spoof.

I have a hard time believing they spent more money on this game than Team Meat did on Super Meat Boy though. Tofu Boy seems to be a direct clone of the original Meat Boy game which was just a bad Newgrounds platformer.

Also I like the look of desperation in Tofu Boy's face. It's like he knows he's in an inferior vegan knockoff game.

This rules.
