The worlds and the game are somewhat sadistic and quite dark in theme and artwork. It’s so weirdly addictive to watch and is often quite hilarious to look back on if playing with a bunch of mates round. This is because it shows every single attempt and on a gimp level in which you have failed 1000 times (at least that how it feels) you get to see every single failed attempt in an amazing meaty blood bath montage. The best feature in my opinion is the replay at the end of every successful level which I find myself watching more than playing. In all honesty (and risking sounding stupid) that is actually what makes the game fantastic as it really provides you with that sense of achievement.
Super meat boy forever sucks trial#
In a nutshell your going to find yourself flying through one level and then before you know it 20 minutes later, your hands and eyes are hurting and you are learning through the painstaking medium of trial and error.

There are boss fights at the end of every world which are all relatively unique. This is a minor issue in my opinion as many tricks that are needed to pass through certain levels might not be obvious to some people and more to others, so in a sense its down to interpretation. However don’t expect to be able to set a difficulty or for the levels to become gradually harder, because from what I found that is simply not the case, you might find yourself on one level being stuck for hours only to fly through the next world altogether. There are a number of worlds in which you will come across a myriad of levels (around 300 to be precise). The gameplay is for the most part brilliantly simple, yet occasionally frustratingly inconsistent. The seemingly never ending chase takes you through a number of worlds, dimensions and head scratching boss fights all to save that small pink blob that you oh so desire. The game is a simple yet somehow gorgeous 2D indie platformer in which you play as a chunk o’ meat hunting for his beautiful bandage girl (a pink square) who is forever being stolen by (prepare for the best baddie you have ever heard of) a baby in a jar wearing a tuxedo… AKA Dr Foetus *Gasp*. For those of you who don’t know what on earth Super Meat Boy is let me explain (and you may think I’m on hard drugs but I’m not).
