[Update]Rumor no more! Mr McMillen confirms that the Mr Minecraft will be inSuper Meat BoyPC.
A twitter stalker just sent us a hot tip. It looks like Team Meat (Super Meat Boy) has been chatting up the creator of Notch (Minecraft) with some public tweets, and Notch has given Team Meat permission to use Mr. Minecraft in the PC version ofSuper Meat Boy. I’ve contacted Edmund McMillen for comment on this, and I haven’t heard back yet. I’ll let you know if we land some confirmation.
This last bit isn’t actually a rumor, I’m throwing it in here anyway. Danny Baranowsky, the composer forSuper Meat Boy, is holding a contest. Remix one or two songs from the game’s score, and you could land a spot on the official soundtrack.
I didn’t have the space in the full review to talk about how great of a job Mr. Baranoswky did onSuper Meat Boy‘s soundtrack, so I’ll do that now. The soundtrack is fantastic. It starts off a bit low key, but by the darkworld Hell levels, things get truly insane, and awesome. I’m still humming that particular track to myself daily. It’s likeRockapellameetsPetey Wheatstraw.
