yeah, get bleed or bleed 2. bleed 2's better but will cost you more and you can always go to 2 if you like 1. the game goes on sale all the time for between 2 and 5 bucks. warning though, it's more of a run and gun, contra-like than something as purely level based on meat boy, and the game is probably about 90 minutes long if you're good. (you won't be). it's fast as hell and feels real good to play.

vvvvvv is an easy rec. it plays fast like meat boy and is really easy to like. will also kick your teeth in, especially if you want to go for 100% (which you will).

n++ is, I think, much better than meat boy and has a ridiculous amount of content, but I wonder if you'll like its floaty precision physics as compared to meat boy's heavy and fast style. it's still amazing though, maybe the best game ever, certainly in the platformer space.

celeste is also highly recommended. you don't need me to tell you about that one though.

if you've got an xbox or pc, give ori a look. cave story's on a lot of different platforms now and is one of the all time games. these are more in the metroid style though, so don't expect quick bursts in quite the same way.

if you want a more nuanced and thoughtful experience, as compared to pure adrenaline, give spelunky or crypt of the necrodancer a shot. or braid, I guess.
