Super Meat Boy - Part 5 - Pseudo Retro
12Super Meat Boy is a great example of a Pseudo Retro game. A platformer with bastardish difficulty but infinite lives. It also has a silly and brief plot. You play a boy made of meat whose girlfriend is made of bandages for some reason. She is kidnapped by a foetus inside a transparent cube.
Anyway, it's very well made, with very responsive controls, appealing graphics, great music and it's just good. There are also other playable character from other games that you can unlock.
This game was very generously gifted to me by Laffer35. Thanks!

Pseudo Retro is a series of let's play videos about modern games that have a retro feel about them, whether graphically or in their playing style.
Intro music is from the classic cracktro by Nemesis (and also apparently the game Heimdall):
