The best thing about Meatboy was going again and again and again trying to get better. The levels having a seed number and being generated take something away from the experience a little.
Super Meatboy Forever is an automatic runner for sure, but if you break down each checkpoint into areas like the levels in Super Meat Boy then you start to feel like that old friend you haven’t seen for years, may have got a new look, but they are still the same person you liked the first time around. I initially saw this as a clone of Bit.Trip Runner but that would be doing both games a disservice. However, once you are over the initial shock of the change, the game sort of clicks and you begin to love it. Initially, that feels like it will take all that was good with the original and make the sequel fall flat.

They are much longer and have checkpoints and it feels much more trial and error than Refenes’ and McMillen’s original. So it is a shame that the levels in Super Meatboy Forever feel like that lack that same attention to details upon first playing. You haven’t suffered rage-induced joy until you have beaten Super Meatboy. That feeling when you beat another level was only matched by getting through the end of Trials HD at the time. Whilst being difficult there was an eagerness from the design to keep you pressing ahead. Something that Super Meatboy did wonderfully well was craft intricate levels that you could happily spend hours, days and weeks either learning just to get through, or to try and perfect for better times.Įach level was tight and felt like it was crafted with pure unadulterated love. I won’t lie though, it will take a bit of time to accept Forever and a Super Meatboy game, as there are a LOT of differences that do have an effect on your approach to the game. The announcement of Super Meatboy Forever has me very, very excited and even the length of time between announcement and release hasn’t dampened my spirits for it. Then on my Vita and then also on the Switch.
I will go on record and say that I loved Super Meatboy and for a long time it was a permanent fixture on my Xbox 360.
