Treble Clef Guy the old game hasn’t changed

[@shupasopni]

It has. It's not a regular platformed but is instead an auto running game. I was interested when I saw the air dash punch thing (still am kinda but need to watch more) but that is definitely a bummer and a significant change.

Don't say "they" because the mastermind behind the original, Edmund, left Team Meat. This is what happened. Welcome to Rapture.

Not gonna lie, i played everygames by edmund mc millen. But this one isn't what i expected, i don't like this game, i don't know what "they" did

Did they only make it an endless runner so they could put it on mobile devices easier or something? Should have continued to develop on the original formula, looks a little boring.

Yahav13135 Still looks hard,though. And it's not an "endless runer"- It is a runner with normal levels just like any other game.

[@TheRobotDevilInside]

[@MrGamemasterman]

Yea I agree. I don't really like it. There are to many endless runners and I don't think we need anymore

[@causticquestionables7888]

The funny thing about this is that it shows that Edmund was what actually did make the game good Tbh this looks like one of those games on the app store that is called "Super Meat Boy 2 [Free]" but is actually just a trash knockoff

[@core_file374]

Doesn't look too bad. I'd rather take this than have Meat Boy gone forever.

[@darkcape419]

I understand you have opinions, but the basic art in Meat Boy was what made it very great. This simply looks like a cartoon which, I personally like, but I would prefer the original version. Just like in Plants vs. Zombies 1 and 2.

[@core_file374]

They hired actual Adult Swim animators to do this because now they have a budget. It seems reasonable, but Edmund's bouncy and simple animation is still the best.

[@GEB_Rosee_PPS]

its was gping to be a phone release only, but then it was like:oop poop, now this is official SMB sequel!.

[@wyllydw]

I loved the original super meat boy a lot, but this seems just like a boring endless runner hyped up by the meatboy label. If you really want some kind of sequel instead of this runner game, I'd recommend "the end is nigh" It's by the original creator edmund Mcmillen (and also Taylor) and plays a lot like meatboy. (Edmund didn't work on super meat boy forever. He's working independently from team meat)

[@wyllydw]

TemmieKaz I loved celeste too! But I still need to do the C-sides. (Those are HARD) Now about the end is nigh again, Ed and Taylor made that game in 6 months and I think it is amazing how they still managed to make a decent game in such little time. However I do agree that it could've used some more polish (like those crows) and I guess the main game feels a bit short, but I was surprised by how much optional stuff there was and all the cartridges, I think those were difficult but still fair in a meat boy kind of way so I really enjoyed it.

[@BioDomeWithPaulyShor]

"So what did people like about Super Meat Boy?" "Well, it had a charming artstyle and incredibly tight controls." "Hmm... what if we made a sequel that had neither of these?" Holy fuck who thought this was a good idea? Word of advice, go and play The End is Nigh (Also on Switch), it's a lot more like Meat Boy with art by Edmund Mcmillen

[@ciriak]

YOu forgot the music

[@rumpus5633]

What I don't understand is why the fuck is it an autoscroller? That gimps so much potential for an already awesome game that could have had so much potential for a proper sequel.

[@bluerious5475]

[@MeedasGuy]

The new art style is at least in my opinion the only reason I’m not sure if i like the game

[@Warcrafter4]

(Btw I know the original dev edmin isn't on working on this game) But didn't the music maker and the company have a falling out resulting in the original Super Meatboy/Binding of Isaac musician quitting?

[@rasec46]

That part at 08:37 seconds really shows why i hardly like auto-runners and it make a game feel like a mobile game. It's missing that control precision this type of games need.

[@heynavi8368]

Rasec46 fun fact. This idea of the game was actually SUPPOSED to be a mobile game. But instead we got it on the Switch

[@rasec46]

it's more the fact that he started running backwards and couldn't do anything except dying.

[@rasec46]

I think i heard about that sometime ago. The game actually looks fun but let's wait and see. Not really a fan of auto-runners. I think the only one i have on switch that i really love is Atomik: RunGunJumpRun.

I was excited for a new meat boy, but then they made it into an auto runner. God has left us.

[@iatecarrot4173]

Team meat -"That would be good idea if we turn platformer into a runner!!!" Others - "No OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOD, PLEASE NO!!!!!!!"

[@SkellyLake]

For everyone complaining, Team Meat, the devs of Super Meat Boy, lost their primary artist and game designer, Edmund McMillen, who was, and is, currently busy with updates for Isaac, and his two new games, Mewgenics, and Legend of Bumbo, and he didn't have time for Meat Boy Forever. Also, SMB:Forever was originally susposed to be a unique port of the original Super Meat Boy, which evolved into this. I'm still buying it, as I loved the last two Meat Boy games, and even spent a ton of money to have them imported from Europe so I could have physical copies, and the character is one of my favorites, and I have faith that with the recent expansions of Team Meat, the game will be great. However, Edmund's concepts and level design will be greatly missed.

[@Meatzonee]

hmm, is he really working on Mewgenics.. im almost 100 sure Mewgenics is a team meat game. and now that edmund is gone, will never be realesed.

[@SkellyLake]

Meatzone Read his blog on Tumblr. I'm pretty sure him, and James Id will be working on it now.

[@nobodyinparticular2870]

Meatzone I know it’s late, but Edmund on his Twitter always gives updates about mewgenics dev, He is saying that after developing bumbo, he’ll start working on Mew genics

[@MarioMan392]

As such a huge fan of the original it’s a shame that this one looks so boring. Also, I know there’s controversy behind the original music but it was so good that I may have gotten this game if it had it. That music was incredible!

[@jakubmadron7776]

Controversy? Am I missing something?

[@notwhoyouneed5703]

This one doesn’t look that terrible per se, but it doesn’t look as good as the original. A shame because I was hyped about this one, but it looks like a mobile game

[@woolphyo5892]

jeez louise. no thanks. The idea of SMB as an auto-runner would be bad enough, but the wall jumping mechanic looks annoying as hell. "oops guess you're going the wrong way, time to restart" 2:20 really sums it up for me. The instant the player jumped off that wall, all control was taken away from them. Dr fetus beating up nugget at the end of every level is funny though.

[@rubixdude1067]

Like he wants nugget alive till the end so he can make meat boy and bandage girl mad but he forgets every single time that nugget is fragile.

[@Gamer_boi_1273]

The bad thing about Dr fetus beating up nugget is that it doesn't have sound like the original

[@TheOneBigRed]

Enemies would had made more sense if Dr Fetus had conquered the world and they were his minions. It's just harmless critters!

[@lionocyborg6030]

Not to mention Edmund himself made no monsters for the original flash game and only made enemies in Super Meat Boy extra hazards instead of combat encounters because Meat Boy is supposed to be so good he never tries to harm anyone; all he cares about is getting Bandage Girl back. Whenever he fought bosses, they were beaten in indirect ways e.g. the Lil Slugger is destroyed by squirrels clogging up the chain, Brownie isn't actually fought or raced as they are both trying to survive and are not really even enemies, Little Horn kills himself by accident and Dr a fetus is mostly a death course with a reference to Super Mario Bros 1 and 2's boss fights at the end. (Particularly 2, considering its difficulty) Having Meat Boy punch enemies in his way with a giant Popeye fist is very out of character for him.

[@darkcape419]

Lion O Cyborg so true.

[@benjamincurran5799]

This comment is from 2021 Honestly, despite all these negative comments, I think Super Meat Boy Forever is a GOOD game. Not as great as the original Super Meat Boy but just GOOD. I think the remastered art style is good, the level design is great and the music is wonderful but the gameplay? I wouldn't say it's the same as the original game. I mean, sure, the auto runner concept is fun and all that but the transition from a normal platformer to being an auto runner is probably a bit too "off the rails" for my liking. And there are only two controls: a jump button and a dive button. Your moveset involves jumping, punching, diving and sliding and yet Team Meat still finds clever ways to make levels for the four moves. On the topic of levels, adding a little bit to the "off the rails" I mentioned earlier, another big change to Super Meat Boy is the addition of Procedural Generation. Levels are this time made of chunks that are chosen based on a "seed" (that's a thing that allows levels to self build. If you know all about Minecraft's procedural generation, you'll know what a seed is). These chunks are then put together to make one full Forever level. Of course, there are checkpoints at the beginning of each chunk because a level in this game is really long and this would be frustrating if the good ol' checkpoints weren't a part of this game. And also there's also a function called "New Game+" that allows you to replay the whole game again with different levels. This replayability makes for a fresh new challenge that the player can enjoy. So this is why I think Super Meat Boy Forever is a GOOD game. (Wow. Now THAT'S a huge comment! This is probably the biggest one I wrote!) If there's anything I didn't say about the game, please reply!

A runner? Even the original Meat Boy (a flash game) knew what was fun. Tight, tough platforming is the name of the game. Both Meat Boy and Super Meat Boy kept to this formula, and were able to create a lot more variety to keep gameplay dynamic. Horizontal, vertical, and levels requiring you to grab a key to move on all did something new and exciting. Way more than a runner could ever churn out. This looks more like a flash game than Meat Boy.

[@psychicjellyfish9466]

Gameplay looks alright, music is fine, animation is great, I just have 2 complaints. 1: The Attacking It seems like the ability to attack enemies will really break up the gameplay, and not in a good way. It would’ve been fine as just a dash, even welcome, but an attack seems out of place. Meat boy never really “interacted” with his environment too much. 2: Checkpoints This kind of defeats the purpose of Meat Boy. Isn’t the whole point “die, die, try again?” Having checkpoints nullifies a big part of the difficulty, and therefore the gameplay. Hopefully this can be turned off on higher difficulties. *EDIT* After rewatching the footage it seems like a few things I said might not be as big of a problem as I thought. The way the levels are arranged, it seems like the idea behind the random generation is that each segment, checkpoint to checkpoint, is a single, traditional Meat Boy level. With that in mind, the worlds seem like they’ll be at a similar length to the first game. The attack is used a lot more creatively than I thought, essentially being treated as a dash. The reason it was made an attack instead of a dash is surprisingly deep: after killing an enemy with the midair attack, you can perform the dash a second time for extra distance. I still wish it didn’t have those weird freeze frames, but those were probably for extra reaction time. tldr: My gripes are subsided, and the game looks fun.

[@psychicjellyfish9466]

I also hope they add sound to the Dr. Fetus animations at the end of a level. They’ve got personality, but we need that extra layer of charm from the Meat Bois of old.

[@starfyrox103]

the levels in this look a hell of a lot longer than levels in regular meat boy, so i'd say checkpoints make more sense now. also, i remember reading somewhere a while ago that levels are randomly generated pieces of levels put together, so i guess you could think of it as a bunch of levels strung together as one

[@Wingedmagician]

I’m so with you on the first point. That punch looks terrible too

[@psychicjellyfish9466]

I will reiterate, I think it will be FINE to play, especially looking at that Dark World. These are just some parts they could’ve improved.

[@XSmoothiexXX]

[@frinkulon9176]

In my opinion this still looks like a fun game. The art style looks pretty good, the game looks a nice amount of difficult and the music sounds pretty good (even if it's not Danny boy). The only complaint I have (like a lot of people) is the frozen frames after the dash attack which look sorta disorienting. But even then I imagine it's for reaction times. I don't really care that it's an auto runner, I actually kinda like it because it keeps the game fast paced. The levels are apparently randomly generated so that provides a nice element of unpredictability and replayability. Just because it isn't exactly like the first game doesn't mean it's bad. A bit of change every now and then is good, and keeps games from becoming stagnant. If you really can't stand super meat boy being something other than the first game then go play some more of the first game.

like super meat boy 9/10 this shit -10/10

This would work as a thrown to the side mobile game, not the sequel to one of the greatest games of all time.

I asked on their discord about the change from platformer to auto-runner and they said: "Because i have already done a famous platformer."

[@distalion]

Yikes

[@dallama2616]

Before you go saying this is a horrible game consider that it's a mobile game. If it were a pc game it'd be a solid 2/10 however as a mobile game I'd give it a 7/10. There is a difficulty aspect to this game and while it doesn't look as hard as the original i imagine it would get harder. I thinkd the levels are too long. A mobile game should have short levels for people with not much time.

[@that0ne]

This Soundtrack is so bad :( We want the music with the awesome rock guitars as in Super Meat Boy!

[@hiveknight7416]

Ok, it's not that bad, guys. The gameplay and graphics seen promising (though the soundtrack doesn't), and believe it or not, Ed and Danny left Team Meat on their own accord, so you can't blame them.

[@4lej0oo]

its look like endless levels. i liked more when there were short levels but too hards , that made special meat boy i think

[@hydra5379]

i can't believe you've done this

[@ILoveSMB]

so this game is taking inspiration from Super Mario Run now?

[@godofthecripples1237]

Super Mario Run didn't invent auto runners.

[@shearman360]

This was announced before Super Mario Run

[@jereweb0203]

This reminds me of games like Super Paper Mario. Everyone hates it because it’s different from it’s predecessor, from the gameplay style to the music. But if this game actually comes out, it’s gonna find it’s own fanbase. That’s undeniable. So there’ll be a sort of split between people who like the original SMB and those who like SMB Forever. And honestly, I think that’s completely fine.

[@casedistorted]

Jesus two years ago and it’s just NOW finally coming out?

[@thehillza]

This does not look good. Everything that was so great about the first game is gone. No awesome soundtrack, no great level design, it just looks incredibly slow compared to the first, it seems it has been made too easy with checkpoints and looks boring. After the genius that was the original I must say that I am very disappointed.

[@thehillza]

60 FPS Or Bust its more the checkpoints im referring to making it easy, not the level itself.

[@bluerious5475]

thehillza The checkpoints are actually around the length of the original game’s short levels, like 15 or so seconds. Due to how this game is generated, the checkpoints aren’t actually making the game “easier”, rather they’re pretty much just marking each SMB level that you beat.

[@isaakyhsialf4369]

This dude's dumb enough to not have noticed that the game has 5 differently increasing difficulties not to mention increasingly-difficult worlds to share...greater difficulties=incredibly hard+increasing difficulty in worlds=getting up to TAS, possibly not meant to speedrun...and understand that new players that theoretically would buy the game wouldn't be instant pros... If you like the original that much then go play it...oh wait you are tired of it no? Need something new...then why the trashtalk...

[@thehillza]

Dani Açevo it's all opinion though isn't. For me this game looks bad.

[@Lyendith]

To-do list for an SMB sequel: * More buzzsaws * A punch button * Even more buzzsaws * A slide * NOT ENOUGH BUZZSAWS Anyway, it… kinda looks like a poor man's Rayman Legends, propelling punch and all. It doesn't seem *terrible* but not terribly exciting either. The lack of sound effects in this video doesn't help, though I assume they will be present in the final game.

[@chicagobigchungusbobungus8842]

It’s seriously feels like I’m the only fan of this idea. I’m 90 percent sure if you pulled back the camera and told people it wasn’t an auto runner everyone would be calling this good. The art looks way better, the animation looks way better, and the gameplay looks exciting. Honestly disappointed more people aren’t looking forward to this.

[@meaniemoon]

ratio?

[@RooneyCantona]

A souless autorunner 6 years after the fad. Nice work, “Tommy”.

[@Yolipow]

The art and animations are gorgeous, but the gameplay looks boring, in my opinion.

[@shupasopni]

Yeah I don't really get the problem people have with the art.

[@tidal7643]

The animation is great however the art style is lacking the rugged and grity ness of the original (and the colors for everything else as a whole)

[@zblurth855]

[@mers3331]

...said no one ever

[@aaw7410]

The first one looked, felt, and sounded a hundred times better than this. What happened???

[@ds-yu4dh]

Looks decent enough but the end is nigh and Celeste really makes this a hard sell. Is the original composer still throwing his temper tantrum?

[@TamarinPamarin]

The biggest error is that they changed it to the autorunner format ,WHY? Graphics aren't bad. The music isn't awfull but just doesn't sound like a meat boy. All levels look pretty long. Meat boy was about short challenging levels which wasn't too long to be infernally hard. Heard also that original developer isn't even here anymore. Just buy the "The End is Nigh" by the original developer.

[@LeoCurtis]

I dig this, honestly. Different, but still cool.

[@tidal7643]

Leo Curtis looks kinda boring

[@Shahars71]

I was kinda worried when I saw that it was going to be a runner, but looking at the gameplay here reassures me that despite this being a completely different sort of platformer, we're still getting the same Meat Boy madness like the first one.

[@Lichzim]

Shahars71 Indeed. A lot of people right now are hating on the game. I can understand why they dislike it but I really think its better to wait until its out and try it, instead of judging the book by its first few pages. For all we know the game could be just as fun as the original.

[@causticquestionables7888]

Lichzim The Great I think the reason peeps are angry is because of how obviously different it is, one of the things that made the game difficult is that enemies wernt able to be killed which would make you have to work around them, another thing is the ability of being able to platform effectively which is hard to do when your running one way forever, when you make a sequel you expect the game to be an upgrade rather than a downgrade (Like the style for one)

[@shupasopni]

I like the style and the dashing punch personally, but those are the only things I like about this new game so far.

[@anonimato9128]

Shahars71 Well, it's a runner with a little bit of platforming and no puzzles in it (at least the first world) But who knows, it may be descent compared to the original I mean, just look at how pissed meat boy is I'm sure this would be a good game

[@Shahars71]

Do the first levels really need to be hard? They're the beginning levels, the tutorial levels, they shouldn't slap you in the face with horribly unbalanced difficulty.

[@tosankhyllep3963]

I knew something is wrong with this game after Team Meat sold their souls to the Epic Store.

[@negdiffed]

So they took away control from the player for a mobishit endless runner? Pass. Music and art style also took a hit.

[@iferpe]

Edmund (the original dude) isn't on the Team Meat anymore, that's why it's so different.

[@core_file374]

Plus it's not endless. How stupid can people get.

[@negdiffed]

it's shit. get over it.

[@core_file374]

Sure hate how bad the first world is. Already smelling a bit trip runner situation, where everyone hated the game then it was one of the best.

[@negdiffed]

people that liked the first game for the physics-based platforming wont like this one.

[@tidal7643]

Also guys just because the game might still be hard don't mean it'll be fun. Hard games are fun cause of the satisfaction of a stressful and demanding game with tight controls and good level design. From what I can tell this game has neither so completing a level is just a "yay 🙄" instead of a "YEAH SUCK IT GAME". The mechanics are boring and don't seem fluid at all (something the og did perfectly). So yeah my 2 cents

[@elleon345]

Remember when people were comparing bit trip runner to endless runners, you know, those free games you can find on the app store for your mobile??? I'm hoping everyone's also wrong in this situacion, this game doesn't look bad, atleast not to me.

[@XSmoothiexXX]

Sergio Ballesteros I mean... it's ok but... why is it a runner? That can't be called "Super Meat Boy 2" Since it's not a platformer. The original game was awesome because the controls were awesome, but in this one, you just press jump and punch at the right time

[@Raygiik]

that's why it's don't called super meat boy 2.

[@uvuvwevwevweonyetenyevweug6314]

Raygiik ! First: That's why it's *NOT called Super Meat Boy 2 And second: In the official page it says that "It is Super Meat Boy 2 but with a less boring name than Super Meat Boy 2"

[@Raygiik]

First : English is not my native language, sorry Second : True, but they said on twitter that they probably will work on a super meat boy 2 after forever. I think they said it on the internet site to anticipate some questions, but i also think the reason it's NOT( :) ) called Super Meat Boy 2 is that it's not the same gameplay, it's totally another game.
