The sequel to the equally challenging Super Meat Boy, the premium action game Super Meat Boy Forever reacquaints the player with Meat Boy, the animated meat cube protagonist, who needs to rescue his child Nugget. You will then guide Meat Boy through a series of challenging levels.

As a true-blue platformer adventure, Super Meat Boy Forever features brutal levels packed with the most unexpected obstacles and borderline frustrating gameplay overall. It employs the same side-scrolling, bloody graphics too. There are lots of secrets scattered throughout the levels, unlockable characters, and ultra-challenging boss fights thrown into the mix as well.

A more difficult sequel

Super Meat Boy Forever is an action-packed platformer game developed as a sequel to the original Super Meat Boy game in 2010. It has several differences from the original that make it distinct and have its own personality. Unlike in the first game, this game introduces a version of Meat Boy that is continuously running, and you can control when he jumps, slides, or punches enemies.

Another major difference is in its art style and music. The art style took on a more cartoony look, yet it still keeps the bloody animations that take place whenever Meat Boy meets his demise on one of the saw blades. At the same time, players who don’t like the concept of endless and repetitive runners may not like it, especially as the controls are tricky to grasp at first.

Furthermore, the sequel proves to be more difficult than its predecessor in the sense that the levels get regenerated every time you restart — getting to learn and memorize how the levels go isn’t possible anymore. This also diminishes the game’s replayability factor. That, paired with its insane difficulty and steep learning curve in the beginning, can deter potential gamers instead of luring them in.  

Really challenging platformer game

In a nutshell, Super Meat Boy Forever is a grueling platformer game that demands acquired skill and a lot of patience. It comprises multiple series of difficult levels that are punctuated by even harder boss fights. The controls take time to learn and master and the game adds another layer of difficulty to itself by randomizing the generation of the levels.
