Just this one mechanic means you can target thin gaps between blades or run off the edge of a platform and still target a landing area inconveniently placed underneath an overhang. Hold it down for more height/distance and hit it again for a perfectly horizontal dash with fist or foot extended. The first button is jump, which doubles as dash-attack in mid-air. Super Meat Boy Forever is an auto-running platformer with no brakes and precision controls, with every hazard designed to put its two buttons to the test. Or at least temporarily, until they respawn a few seconds back at the nearest safe zone ready to charge forward again. The two of them set out chasing Doctor Fetus and nothing on Earth is going to stop them running full-tilt towards the rescue of their child.Ĭorrection: Saw blades, wandering critters, balls of electric zappy-death, bottomless pits, lasers, spikes, needles, razor wire, and other sharp and deadly hazards will do a great job of stopping them. This time Meat Boy is rested and ready, and Bandage Girl is just as tough. Until, of course, Doctor Fetus comes back to kidnap little Nugget. Doctor Fetus has been defeated, Meat Boy and Bandage Girl settled down and hid a kid, and all is peaceful in the world.
Super Meat Boy Forever picks up a fair length of time from the conclusion of the original Super Meat Boy, released just a little over a decade ago. Precision controls mean the challenge can start high and work its way up from there, because the less the brain has to think about what it’s doing and instead focus on doing it, the better it can perform. Super Meat Boy Forever ditches the joystick in favor of a super-simple two-button control scheme and then proceeds to wring every drop of potential from its simplicity. There isn’t an art form out there where minimalism is a hindrance rather than a challenge and gaming is no different. How many buttons does it take to play a game? As many as necessary and no more, as it turns out.
