In brief: The Epic Games Store is giving away another title for absolutely nothing. This time, it’s the 2010 platformer Super Meat Boy. The game’s free until January 10 for anyone who holds or makes an account with the digital storefront.

The Epic Games store will be offering a free game every two weeks until the end of 2019.

Following its launch earlier this month, The Epic Games Store gave away alien ocean survival adventure Subnautica for free up until December 27. Now, the classic Indie title Super Meat Boy can be grabbed for absolutely nothing for the next week and a half.

Super Meat Boy is the work of Tommy Refenes and Edmund McMillen. It’s challenging enough to be labeled the Dark Souls of platform games—you can expect to die countless times. The story mode features over 300 levels across five chapters, so there’s plenty to keep you busy. It was also one of the games that appeared in the 2012 documentary Indie Game: The Movie.

Super Meat Boy is currently discounted by 90 percent on Steam, but the game’s official Twitter account notes that the Epic Store deal is the first time it's been 100 percent free and not “pay for a subscription” free. The team also notes that the sequel “is not too far out now.”

Seriously though, this is the first time Super Meat Boy has been free free not 'pay for a subscription' free so have at it and enjoy!!! Spread the word and remeber that the sequel is not too far out now!! https://t.co/qhljwRXTdM

While it lacks an extensive library, the Epic Games Store is taking on Steam by giving away a different free title every two weeks. It also gives developers 88 percent of the money it makes from game sales, unlike Steam, which takes a 25 - 30 percent cut.

Last week, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney denied allegations that the store shared user data with parent company Tencent “or any other company.”

Super Meat Boy is free on Epic Games Store and everyone can get the game for free until the promotion is running. Super Meat Boy is the second game to come free on Epic Games Store after its launch.

Epic Games recently launched their own online game store to give Steam a tough time. Dubbed as Epic Games Store, it offers different games for sale but the list is currently very little when compared to Steam plus many features are still missing. However, there is one thing that Epic Games is doing in order to attract people and that is free games.

The latest free game on offer to everyone using Epic Games Store, Super Meat Boy, is a very difficult platformer originally released back in 2010. Super Meat Boy is an unforgiving platformer where you will play as a little boy made of meat who wants to simply be with the love of his life but an evil genius keeps taking it away from her.

You will need to clear different worlds to get to her and at the end of each world, there is a boss like level where you will need to overcome different obstacles of the stage and reach the end before the boss kills you. It is a very fast paced and simple game.

There are no complex controls here. A jump button, sprint key and left/right controls are all you need to play the game making it easy to play even without a controller. You will die in the game a lot but the fast paced reload makes every replay almost instant making it a continuous flow of the game.

As you die and move around the stage, the stage gets covered in red blood since you are a meat boy and you drip blood everywhere. The game is also very small in size making it an ideal title for laptops and tablet computers.

If you have not played the game, then we recommend that you get this amazing indie title for free and try it out yourself. All you need to do to get the game is to make a free Epic Games account and add the game in your library. Here’s a link for it.

The game is free until January 10 so you have plenty of days to add the game to your library. After January 10, the game will be worth $15.
