![]() ![]() There will be areas that ask you to punch right above the ground, and because it is the same button as the jump, if you happen to have hit the ground before hitting the button (because of input delay, which the Nintendo Switch is notorious for, especially when hooked up to a 4k TV) your character will jump up, which almost always results in a death, and thus unnecessary frustration.įurther, the punch is used to activate almost every extra mechanic in the game (portals, movable platforms, creatable platforms, cannons, power ups), and some of those things restore your punch so you can use it again, but some of them do not. The punch and jump being mapped to the same button does not work, especially in the harder levels with tighter windows. This is where the complaints start for the gameplay. This ability is used by hitting the jump button while in the air and will propel Meat Boy forward for more air distance and more speed. ![]() However, for some obstacles, you will need to use your other new ability, the punch. For the most part, the best way to survive is to avoid the hazards by jumping over them or sliding under them. Along the way, you will encounter enemies, saws, spikes, and endless different types of hazards trying to keep Meat Boy from his child. The goal for most levels is to get to Nugget, who is on the far right side of the stage. On top of that, there are extra worlds and a warp mini-game in each world. There are the base levels in every world, then the boss level at the end of every stage (we will get to these), then there are the dark world versions of each level (unlocked after getting an A+ rank on the light world variant). That is not to say that there is not a good number of levels, because there is. There are also far fewer levels in Forever but that is because each level is about five or six of the levels from the original. Unlike Super Meat Boy, these levels are very long and feature checkpoints sprinkled throughout. Although, nothing in this game gets even remotely as difficult as Super Meat Boy gets. Of course, in the spirit of the original game, the game is fast and intense, full of tight input windows and miserable challenges. It was originally imagined as an infinite runner, along the lines of Jetpack Joyride, although after the endless development cycle, the idea was repackaged to feature actual levels and a story. Super Meat Boy Forever is an auto-runner, which is one of the main factors that has stuck around since it’s inception as a mobile game. We have to start this section by addressing the elephant in the room: gameplay-wise, this game is completely different from Super Meat Boy. ![]()
