The only progression that you get is the completion of each round, and so at first, it seems as if points don't matter. It would have been nice to have a constant tally onscreen throughout our round, just to get a sense of progression. Those points then disappear and are tallied up at the end. There is a point system at the end of each hole that is tallied up, depending on how many stokes you take. These animations act as a nice reward for finishing each hole, but you're rewarded with more than just that. With the completion of each hole, a new animation is presented that ranges from a cow-snatching UFO to a diving submarine. The game has an Easter-color palette that is complemented by smooth and fun animations, which keep you interested with each hole. Wonderputt is an 18-hole minigolf game with an animated eboy-esque art style, which was nominated by the Independent Games Festival for Excellence in Visual Art. The game in question is Wonderputt, a minigolf Flash game. But today, we're not here to talk about Meat Boy we're here to talk about another Flash game that has the potential to gain the attention of the big-game outlets and prove that Flash games are meant to be taken seriously. The Flash version was barley covered by the big game networks, and it wasn't until the game made its presence as Super Meat Boy that it got the attention it deserved.

Case in point: Before Super Meat Boy, there was the Flash game Meat Boy. During the past couple of years, Flash games have been starting to wipe away the stigma of being simple throw-away games without much depth, visuals, or gameplay value.
