Super Meat Boy Forever is a hard-as-nails platform runner that was originally meant to be a simple mobile version of the oh-so-popular Super Meat Boy, but has since evolved into a fun-but-brutal platformer with lots of content.

About
Dr. Fetus is being a jerk again (as he does), but this time he's kidnapped Meat Boy and Bandage Girl's adorable little baby girl, named Nugget! Meat Boy and Bandage Girl will be put through the grinder (THAT ISN'T A MEAT JOKE SHUT UP) as they jump, slide, punch and kick through 6 chapters containing randomly constructed levels that increase in difficulty each time you rank them up. Beat a level, it ranks, next time you play it you get a harder version of that level until you eventually master it! There are bosses, secrets, dying, awesome music, beautiful art, and dying! Also if that isn't enough, there is a Dark World with extremely hard levels for those of you that like that sort of thing.

Critic reviews
- 9.0In its current state, Super Meat Boy Forever is best on mobile, but the iOS version at least needs a bit more work. Despite the issues, I’ve loved most of what Super Meat Boy Forever has to offer, and it is hard to argue against it being worth the very low asking price right now. It took nearly a decade to hit the platform following its original announcement, but Super Meat Boy Forever for mobile is here, and the wait has been worth it.
- 9.3Super Meat Boy Forever might not be the game I expected, but it’s a game I thoroughly enjoyed. Good sequels take the best elements of the first game and build on them. The gameplay doesn’t have to be exactly the same but in this case, it’s familiar enough, while adding many interesting new elements. The new high definition art style is on point and the level design and generation makes the sequel truly stand out.
- Super Meat Boy Forever will frustrate you; there’s no doubt about it. But that’s part of its draw. Just as games like Cuphead have an audience, the Super Meat Boy franchise has a slightly less masochistic one. Super Meat Boy Forever’s intention isn’t to deride you for playing.
- 5.5Super Meat Boy Forever is a game that suffers from inconsistent difficulty and some counter-intuitive mechanics. While the cutscenes and bosses are charming as always, this is one game that die-hards of the previous installment might want to skip. It’s still a fun time for those willing to overlook its flaws, however.
- 7.0Super Meat Boy Forever remains as vibrantly revolting as you remember the original being, but the platforming design doesn't live up to the established pedigree. The studio deserves credit for trying something different. If only Meat Boy's simple joys weren't diminished in the transition.

It will test you patience but the reward that you get from completing it is something that few games can match. It is an auto runner which is a bit different from the original but that formula grows on you as you progress in the game. There are a ton of unlockable skins if you are willing to put yourself through the arduous task of gathering the collectables mid run. I will say that the level of difficulty may be off putting for some but regardless I recommend you give it a try. At $0.99 it feels like an absolute steal for what you are getting. Did I mention that the levels are procedurally generated meaning that you can start a new save file and have almost a whole new experience. Ya it's great!
