And that genre, that’s HABP, right?
Hard As Balls Platformer.
Loved when this was done with Fallout 3.
Much easier setup though, since the 360 has a composite out option.
No, it’s a shmup (shoot 'em up). There is very, very little platforming and most of the stages are bosses with no levels. The platforming elements are just in stages designed to collect 5 gold coins.
Super Meat Boy is hard but, to me, it feels fair. I say this as someone who grew up on the one-pixel-off-and-you’re-dead forced difficulty of some NES platformers. SMB feels like a challenge rather than an engineered prank.
For merciless but fun - check out The Gungeon. Top down shooter rougelike dungeon crawler. Though the more you play the more you unlock and the easier it gets to a degree.
