Super meat boy forever all cutscenes full#
The simplified controls allow players to jump, which had been essential in the original game, and dive, which was a new move introduced to retain mobility since full directional control had been eliminated. Refenes described it as “a harder game overall, but much more accessible”. He thought that a true sequel should have new mechanics and expand beyond the original, so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to bring back his runner concept. He didn’t want to just reuse the same formula from the first title and simply pack it with harder levels just for the sake of doing so, though. Fast forward to 2017, and Refenes wanted to make a new Super Meat Boy game. Although the prototype levels played well, he had to shelve the idea. He eventually explored the idea of making a runner-style game in 2014, and designed it around utilizing only two actions: jumping and diving. Fans continued to ask afterward about a mobile version of it, but he didn’t think it was the right medium given how poorly the controls would translate. He recalled that getting onto mobile devices had suddenly become the new craze back in 2011, but the team was busy at the time with releasing the original Super Meat Boy on consoles and PC/Mac/Linux. We had a chance to sit down with Tommy Refenes, co-founder of Team Meat and programmer/designer for the Super Meat Boy games, at PAX East 2018.
Meat Boy now has a punch attack that doubles as a dash As it turns out, it was actually a recipe for success. Each of these things sounded like they could be out of place in a Super Meat Boy game, so having them all together in the same one might have spelled disaster. Levels would be procedurally generated by stitching together premade chunks of varying difficulties, replacing the fully-formed and polished courses of the previous game.
Gone were the directional controls traditionally shared by platformers, with input reduced to two buttons. It was billed as a runner (but not an endless runner), and that initially gave me a ‘mobile game’ vibe. I loved the original game, but its sequel sounded like it was going to be something entirely different. I wasn’t sure what to think when I first read about Super Meat Boy Forever.
