Famed 2010 platformer Super Meat Boy has been revered by critics and gamers alike for its design, controls, and tough but fair level of difficulty.

How are the poor plant-based game enthusiasts supposed to enjoy it? If you happen to fall under this category, today is your lucky day, as these five vegan alternatives will ensure you’re not missing out on any of the stellar side-scrolling action. […]
If Super Meat Boy is objectionable, wouldn’t Celeste be as well? Madeline is also made of meat.
If it’s cruelty they’re concerned about, Meat Boy seems fine being a sapient bloody piece of meat, so what’s the problem?
Back when it made the transition from flash game to retail-release megahit, PETA put out a joke clone game called Super Tofu Boy. In response, Team Meat added tofu boy as a hidden character to later releases. His jump height is so low I don’t think you can even easily beat the first level.

No Plants Vs Zombies? It’s plant based, and the protein is already dead.
I assume the proposed substitutions have to be genre-constrained
Slime-san is a slime, which I believe are closer evolutionarily to bacteria than animals
