It is worth noting that this game isn’t nearly as difficult as the original, but the fundamental need to be on the move a sizable chunk of the time creates conflict through urgency and beauty through grace and fluidity. In fact, auto-running pairs surprisingly well with some of the design philosophies that allowed Super Meat Boy to get its hooks into me in the first place. In this case, I didn’t feel even a hint of revulsion. This is in spite of the fact that it’s an auto-runner, which is a genre I typically greet with complete disinterest or, in some cases, profound disdain. It might even be more potent this time around.Īs much as I loved the original, which was a punishing throwback to the platformers of yesteryear, I have to admit that this game holds more appeal to me. That said, the charm that captivated gamers ten years ago is still present. Super Meat Boy Forever is miles apart from Super Meat Boy in terms of gameplay.
Even riskier than a long development would be a decision to overhaul the gameplay or, dare I say it, even switch genres. Waits like this don’t always pay off, and sometimes it seems like audiences and their expectations move on. Finally, after all that time and a presumably large amount of stress, Super Meat Boy Forever is out on consoles. At the time of his departure, the public wasn’t privy to a whole lot of information in terms of the sequel, but there was an expectation that it was going to be mobile-only title.
Edmund McMillen, one of two original founders of Team Meat, walked away from the Super Meat Boy sequel to work on a new project called The Binding of Isaac. That’s a lot of time for things to change. In fact, it’s been ten years since the release of Super Meat Boy and twelve since the release of its flash-based predecessor, Meat Boy.
#SUPER MEAT BOY FLASH GAME MOVIE#
Since Indie Game: The Movie put the hardships and drama of designing games like Super Meat Boy in front of a broader Netflix audience. It sure has been a while since that big indie boom from two console generations ago.
