I got Golden God in Super Meat Boy on the 360. 200/200 achievement points. This game is better than SMB.
Basically SMB 2.0. Better graphics than SMB, better gameplay than SMB (thanks to even tighter controls), better level design than SMB, better sound effects than SMB. The soundtracks are so different it's hard to compare, this is upbeat yet relaxing music to listen to while gettingI got Golden God in Super Meat Boy on the 360. 200/200 achievement points.

Basically SMB 2.0. Better graphics than SMB, better gameplay than SMB (thanks to even tighter controls), better level design than SMB, better sound effects than SMB. The soundtracks are so different it's hard to compare, this is upbeat yet relaxing music to listen to while getting gibbed. Still an excellent soundtrack, just neither exceeds the other as they're both high quality. SMB actually feels like garbage when playing after this one, it just feels "dated" and ancient control-and-level-wise.
There is an easy mode that has checkpoints. Hard mode is your standard "die and start back at the beginning of the level" affair. There's a permadeath mode where you only get one life for the entire game - some people have actually managed this!
You will die many times. You will love it. You will beat the level set and then go back to get all the coins and find the hidden item. You will hate that it expects you to no-death run each level set in order to fully complete this game.
Major props to the developers for allowing players to disable screen shake and animated backgrounds if they find them too distracting and/or nauseating. There's also an option for infinite jumps, if you want to cheat a bit - I recommend leaving this disabled (obviously). This game is one of those beauties that allows double jumping. Everything about the controls feels natural and fluid.
This game is outstanding. This is the peak of the genre to date.… Expand
