Super Meat Boy is a tough as nails platformer where you play as an animated cube of meat who's trying to save his girlfriend (who happens to be made of bandages) from an evil fetus in a jar wearing a tux.
Our meaty hero will leap from walls, over seas of buzz saws, through crumbling caves and pools of old needles. Sacrificing his own well being to save his damsel in distress.

VVVVVV is an old-school ultra-sadistic challenge-based puzzle platformer.
In VVVVVV, you’re a spaceship captain whose ship and crew is dragged into a new dimension, leaving everyone stranded and separated. It’s up to you, as their fearless leader, to venture through this strange new world to track them down and escape from this odd new place.
With the power of teleportation and a tight control over gravity, you traverse an alien world to accomplish your task.
VVVVVV is not a game about the value of human life. Because you’re going to die, then you’ll die again, and then you’ll keep dying – but you’ll learn to love it.
Changes:
This is a complete rewrite of the game to C++, making it run faster and better on Windows.
Game now comes with a level editor.
Includes *10 new dimensions* to explore, built in the level editor.
Uncertain of his sister's fate, a boy enters LIMBO
Limbo is a 2D platformer. It’s got puzzles in it. It is unremittingly grim from beginning to end. It is also probably one of the most beautiful games you will play this year.
You play as a young boy, waking up in the middle of a forest and trying to get… well, anywhere, because there isn’t a single place in the entire game that you’d like to hang around in. Make no mistake, this is a world that will snap at your heels constantly until you’ve made your way out of it. There is a very loose story of sorts, but it’s not really important. Limbo‘s main focus, and its main triumph, is the creation of some of the most stunning yet unnerving environments ever seen in a videogame. The grainy, high-contrast monotone look that must surely get dull after 15 minutes, doesn’t. While it does occasionally cause problems – discerning which tiny black spikes are going to go straight through your face, and which are merely part of the background, is sometimes difficult – for the most part it’s handled really well, and takes you through a series of markedly varied environments. Even if you’ve seen some of the game’s later stages in trailers or sceenshots, the shift in style still manages to take you by surprise, helped in no small part by how utterly absorbing and downright grim Limbo is.
Winner of more than 90 awards, including GameInformer’s “Best Downloadable”, GameSpot’s “Best Puzzle Game”, Kotaku’s “The Best Indie Game”, GameReactor’s “Digital Game of the Year”, Spike TV’s “Best Independent Game”, X-Play's “Best Downloadable Game” and IGN’s “Best Horror Game” Reviews:
“Limbo is as close to perfect at what it does as a game can get.” 10/10 - Destructoid
"The game is a masterpiece.” 5/5 - GiantBomb
“Limbo is genius. Freaky, weird genius. Disturbing, uncomfortable genius.” 5/5 - The Escapist
“Dark, disturbing, yet eerily beautiful, Limbo is a world that deserves to be explored.” 5/5 - Joystiq
