Mana Pool: For those of you who don’t know what on earth Super Meat Boy is let me explain (and you may think I’m on hard drugs but I’m not). The game is a simple yet somehow gorgeous 2D indie platformer in which you play as a chunk o’ meat hunting for his beautiful bandage girl (a pink square) who is forever being stolen by (prepare for the best baddie you have ever heard of) a baby in a jar wearing a tuxedo… AKA Dr Foetus *Gasp*. The seemingly never ending chase takes you through a number of worlds, dimensions and head scratching boss fights all to save that small pink blob that you oh so desire.
Microsoft is a little slow this month when it comes to announcing the Games with Gold lineup for June 2022. This has led to the lineup leaking ahead of the announcement.
Super Meat Boy was a Games with Gold title back in 2016..It's leftover Meat from 2016
I actually really enjoyed Aven Colony when it was on Gamepass. I got it for free from Epic Store a few months back.
I’ll give it another go.
"Now that we finally have a sequel to the iconic super-difficult indie platformer, let's examine both and see which one's the meat to beat." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums

The last decade wasn't the Golden Age of platformers, that's for sure, but there were still many great games. Check out Wccftech's shortlist!
They put Celeste in the honorable mentions. Such a shame, this game is premium in platforming. Rayman is also def a 10/10 platformer.
