NOW IN 2020: Edmund McMillan and Danny Baronowsky both hold the top two spots on my list for very different games. Edmund also worked on The End is Nigh (which most of ya'll haven't played -- try it!), so they clearly made an impact on my decade.

Quite a few games this decade get quality shout-outs for being platformers (The End is Nigh, Celeste, Super Mario Maker 2, VVVVVV, Rayman Origins) as well as action-platformers (Cuphead, Speedrunner HD, Bleed, Mega Man 11), 3D platformers (Super Mario Odyssey), and Metroidvanias (AM2R, Ori and the Blind Forest, Outland). I also had other games I've liked but didn't include on any of my lists like Cloudberry Kingdom.

I love running and jumping. Super Meat Boy has that.

Now, I will admit in recent years other hard platformers have revealed how floaty our meaty friend feels, but at the time that level of control was borderline-revolutionary and I still generally prefer that floatiness to others. My bigger issue with its controls is how SOOOMETIIIMES you'll slide straight up a wall on a walljump you intended. Like...I kinda figured it out, but really it's still beyond me. Still, the way he climbs up walls and leaps off them? Yeah, that's without parallel.

Quick thoughts-time! Best levels are Dark 2-12 Grey Matter and Light 6-2 Schism. Worst levels are Dark 7-19 XOXO and that whole warpzone from Dark 6-1 The Witness Best world is Hell. Worst world is Rapture Half the bosses suck and this whole genre could take a note from Reflection in Celeste. Best cameo is Headcrab. I don't respect speedruns using Naija. Super Meat Boy Forever looks like a move-forward-only kind of mobile game and I don't expect to buy it. Shout-outs to that poor squirrel. Best shirt is my shirt:

Let's finish this.

Super Meat Boy is about jumping at your problems and dying your way to victory.

It's not just any game -- Super Meat Boy became a mentality, and for that it is my game of the decade.
