Overview
Super Meat Boy is a 2010 Indie game developed by Team Meat, who self-published it. On Steam it has gathered 29,255 player reviews, 94% of them positive, which counts as a very positive reception among indie titles in the Indie category. The game is available on linux, mac, windows, and launched at $15. As a self-published Indie project, Super Meat Boy sits among the independent releases indielist tracks where the developer Team Meat retained both creative and commercial control, a path many indie studios weigh against signing with a publisher. indielist's white-box model estimates its lifetime sales at roughly 1.6 million to 3.7 million units, with the full Boxleiter factor breakdown shown on this page rather than a single black-box figure. Within indielist's catalog of indie games mapped to their studios, publishers, and funding, Super Meat Boy can be compared against similar Indie titles and benchmarked on review counts and estimated sales.

≈ $13.5M to $31.6M net revenue (Steam cut + refunds + regional discount applied)
indielist estimates lifetime unit sales for Super Meat Boy at roughly 1.6 million to 3.7 million copies, with a median around 2.6 million, derived from its 29,255 Steam reviews using a multi-factor Boxleiter model (version v1.0). That median maps to approximately $22.5M in net revenue after Steam's 30% cut, regional pricing, and refunds. Unlike black-box trackers, the full calculation is shown on this page: a base review-to-sales multiplier is adjusted for release year, launch price, review sentiment, studio size, and genre, and every adjustment is listed so developers, publishers, and investors can audit exactly how the figure was reached. The range itself reflects genuine uncertainty — review-to-sales ratios vary widely between games — so indielist publishes a low, median, and high band rather than a false-precision single number, and treats free-to-play, heavily discounted, and bundle-distributed titles as having wider error margins still.

Ecosystem
indielist positions Super Meat Boy within the Indie segment so players can surface comparable titles by shared tags and genre rather than by storefront promotion. On the developer side, Team Meat's other releases are one click away, letting players and analysts see where Super Meat Boy sits among the studio's body of work without a publisher in the loop. Because indielist maps studios, publishers, games, and funding into one connected graph, the same Super Meat Boy page serves three audiences at once: players hunting their next Indie game, developers studying how comparable projects were positioned and what they sold, and investors tracing which teams and labels are active in the space. A machine-readable markdown mirror of this page is published at the same path with a .md suffix for AI assistants, and its review, price, and sales-estimate figures are refreshed on a schedule rather than frozen at launch.
