You Unlocked Flywrench!

We announced last night on our twitter that Flywrench is officially a playable character in Super Meat Boy!

Here are some screens of the animated intro when you find him. http://twitpic.com/yer16

When you find the secret warp zone you get sucked into the low-fi world of Flywrench, where meat boy is infiltrated by the popular flapping protagonist. You control Flywrench through 3 levels that are played out inside meat boys 4bit body. Once completed Flywrench will be avalible at the character select screen to use in any main game level.

Flywrench features the ability to fly for a short amount of time, flapping his wings to gain height and changing colors as he would in the original game.

Flywrench is a popular and critically acclaimed hardcore platformer by Mark Essen (messhof) and can be played on http://messhof.com/. (go play it if you haven't!)

That's 5 down
(Tim, CommanderVideo, Alien Hominid, Gish, Flywrench)
...7(?) to go!

Till next time!

Signed Meat Boy comics now for sale!

We finally got around to setting up the Super Meat Boy press comics in our etsy shop this week.

Each comic is signed by Tommy and myself, comes with 2 stickers and sell for 7$ (and if your lucky a button as well).


The comic is 12 pages long, 5.5 x 8.5 in, full color gloss with card stock cover. Originally made to hand out to press to announce the game "Super Meat Boy issue 1" was printed in Sept. 09. and limited to 1,000 copies and given out as a price on our weekly contests on twitter.

Once the comics are sold out this issue will never be reprinted, we will be printing a new issue closer to GDC, but once the current issue is gone its gone for good.
