Team Meat has announced on Twitter that their squishy platform-puzzle title, Super Meat Boy, has hit the 1M sales mark on Xbox Live Arcade. The developer tweeted, ”Fun Fact: Super Meat Boy past the million sales mark last month! PLATINUM BABY.”
Back in March, however, not everything was so rosy between Team Meat and Microsoft, as the indie developer claimed that Microsoft had ”pushed” Super Meat Boy ”to the side” by not giving the game its own solo release day. Instead, it was paired with Tim Schafer’s Costume Quest, causing Team Meat co-founders Tommy Refenes and Edward McMullen to complain with profanity-laced tirades, prompting one developer, Zen Studios, to tell them to ”let it go already.”
Team Meat got over the perceived snub, and later in the year McMullen released the bizarre The Binding of Isaac, a nightmarish Smash TV-styled directional shooter based on the Biblical story of God instructing Abraham to sacrifice his own son Isaac to Him. The game earned generally positive reviews after its release on Steam.
