However, for those looking for a true challenge, there is a collectible and a time trial on every level as well. And the ability to immediately restart from five seconds earlier makes it that much easier to progress. While the chunks get more difficult as you traverse the game’s worlds or attempt subsequent New Game +’s, they’re not insurmountable by any means. Unlike in the original Super Meat Boy, if you die, you only have to retry from the start of a chunk, not the start of the level. While on one hand this makes for endless replayability and was designed with streaming in mind, it also makes the game somewhat too easy at times. Each new game is different, smashing together chunks at random, although you can manually input a seed if you and a friend want to play the same exact levels as one another. Each of the game’s several worlds introduces new platforming mechanics and enemy types to traverse all within short but increasingly difficult levels.Įach level is made up of chunks, pre-generated sequences that are randomly assembled together into full levels. But now there are also enemies on the stages to avoid or punch. There is just as much jumping and bouncing off walls as you dodge blades and lasers as ever. Super Meat Boy Forever is an auto-runner with two buttons, one to jump and one to slide. Fettus is back at it again, kidnapping Nugget and forcing our protagonists to chase after the baby and the baddie. Meat Boy and Bandage Girl have a baby now, Nugget. But as its own self-standing title, Super Meat Boy Forever takes the challenge and wit of the original, spices up some of the mechanics, and delivers a unique level-generation system that makes every player’s version of each level unique from one another. Comparisons to the original game understandably abound, as well as comparisons to previous concepts for the sequel. What began its development as a smaller, mobile-only auto-runner has finally arrived in a full-fledged console package. Super Meat Boy Forever is the long-awaited sequel to 2010’s Super Meat Boy, produced and published by Team Meat for Nintendo Switch and the Epic Game store on PC.
