I was 11 when I played Super Meat Boy and I did just fine.
Why are people struggling with this game? There are even BUILT-IN HINTS/HELP in the game.
I don't get it.
you probably also had past experiences playing games like this
half these kids I'm sure have never even played a video game before, and they did pretty good for having that little knowledge.
Hell I'm sure in a couple years they'll probably be kicking your ass in some other game if they continue playing, half of them are not too bad at a game like this which is pretty difficult, especially for someone their age.
