As if this week couldn't get any better, as Andrew Vanbeck of the World of Spectrum forum's has just announced the release of 'Dead Flesh Boy'; a ZX Spectrum demake of the highly challenging gory game ' Meat Boy '.

Crown Cave - Increasingly difficult Platformer (Free Game of the day)

With games such as VVVVVVV and Meat Boy pushing the difficulty to the extreme, while keeping the level of fun at an all time high, it's no wonder so many games of it's type appear on free sites. Thus today we have another difficult platformer to show you in the form of Crown Cave. Developed by Launch444 you play as a brave fool who enters a mysterious cave to prove his mettle against the challenges that await him. Believe me there are plenty of challenges to be had in Crown Cave with spiked traps, falling acid, wondering fools and more of which I wont spoil.

Birden - Insanely difficult browser based platformer

If you thought Meat Boy was difficult or even vvvvvv wait till you try Birden from Bitendo Software. A game in which you must avoid all the spikes, traps and enemies to reach the exit, but I guarantee you will not last long as you will die over and over again in frustration. As a bird you can flap about to avoid these deadly devices but wrong one flap and it's instant death (and level restart). Not just that but the developer has decided to make the character like an elastic band, which ends up with you bouncing and sliding all over the place, thus you have been warned!

Splashy Slime - Impossible Game - A free Android game that screams fun!

We've just been informed by Paranoiax (Kai) that their free hardcore platformer, Splashy Slime - Impossible Game is now available for Android devices. A game which features hardcore game play but comes highly recommended, as you dodge saw blades, spikes and other rather nasty traps a long the way using wall jumps and springboards to your advantage. Splashy is a ton of fun as you'll be playing through 30 levels, spread over 3 worlds while listening to the brilliant chip tune soundtrack. If Meat Boy was a green blob of slime, this would be it! Play it now, it's FREE!

Brave Bit - Micro Platform Puzzle game with a kickstarter

If you really enjoyed games like Meat Boy, then you will surely enjoy this little gem. This is Brave Bit, a Micro Platform Puzzle game, which is developed by just one person for the Android, iOS, MAC and PC. A game where splattering death comes oh so often, as the rooms are layered with Saws Blades, Spikes and much more. Brave Bit has a rather interesting take on the gameplay style, as levels are Upward Scrolling, which according to the developers, is achievable through the use of a unique mechanic. By moving all the way across a floor and though the wall, the player is able to move Brave Bit up to the next floor. But there's more to this game!
