Anyone who’s played through the original Super Meat Boy will know that it is one of the toughest, craziest platformers ever made. Perfection is required to get through its grueling levels, with death a regular and constant part of the experience. Enter Super Meat Boy Forever, which introduces procedurally generated levels into the mix in order to grant players an experience that lasts (nearly) forever!
It’s more of the Super Meat Boy that fans love, but with what Team Meat is calling “truly a remarkable feat of engineering and a monumental example of ignoring the limits of rational game design and production,” it’s clear that fans should expect the stiffest challenge yet from the series. Here’s a further synopsis of what’s coming on December 23 to the eShop:
The challenge of Super Meat Boy returns in Super Meat Boy Forever. Levels are brutal, death is inevitable, and players will get that sweet feeling of accomplishment after beating a level. Players will run, jump, punch and kick their way through familiar settings and totally new worlds.
What’s better than playing through Super Meat Boy Forever once? The answer is simple: Playing through Super Meat Boy Forever several times and having new levels to play each time. Levels are randomly generated and each time the game is completed the option to replay the game appears and generates a whole new experience by presenting different levels with their own unique secret locations. We’ve handcrafted literally thousands of levels for players to enjoy and conquer. You can replay Super Meat Boy Forever from start to finish several times before ever seeing a duplicate level.
The game begins several years after the defeat of Dr. Fetus. Meat Boy and Bandage Girl are happily together and now have a child named Nugget. Dr. Fetus of course picks the worst time to come out of retirement, abducts Nugget, and sets Meat Boy and Bandage Girl on a quest to track down their kid. Are you going to be giving Super Meat Boy Forever a download when it launches next week? Let us know below and online!
