Seldom will you be exclusively moving from left to right since verticality and rebounding off walls are features of almost every level. It’s a nice surprise to see the presentation and wrapping surrounding the gameplay be such a delight in itself.Įven though the stationary platforming has been replaced, the gameplay continues to be rock solid. The scenes before and after the boss fights are particularly entertaining, too. The opening and theme of one of the worlds seems to parody Metroid, for example. Cute cutscenes take place at the beginning and end of a new world, and these often parody other popular video games, in addition to being well-animated and funny. The story involves Meat Boy and Bandage Girl trying to rescue their baby, Nugget. Bear in mind, though: it’s still tailor-made for platforming veterans. Although it’s important to note that Super Meat Boy Forever is actually an auto runner, unlike its predecessor, that doesn’t take anything away from how fiendishly fun the game is, and the superb level design, generous checkpoints, and challenging boss fights make for a delicious Meat Boy sandwich. His latest romp adds “Forever” to the title, and it might actually take you that long to see the over 7000 handcrafted stages in the game (a single playthrough only takes you through five worlds and over 30 stages that are randomly put organized into that run).

Meat Boy remains one of the most recognizable indie game mascots even a decade after his fledgling debut in brutal platformer Super Meat Boy.
