Super Meat Boy Forever – Action Game Review
Super Meat Boy Forever is a Action game from Headup GmbH, first launched in 20th April 2023.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 201+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Super Meat Boy Forever Stand Out
Super Meat Boy Forever takes place a few years after the events of Super Meat Boy. Meat Boy and Bandage Girl have been living a happy life free of Dr. Fetus for several years and they now have a wonderful little baby named Nugget. Nugget is joy personified and she is everything to Meat Boy and Bandage Girl. One day while our heroes were on a picnic, Dr. Fetus snuck up on them, beat Meat Boy and Bandage Girl unconscious with a shovel and kidnapped Nugget! When our heroes came to and found that Nugget was missing, they knew who to go after. They cracked their knuckles and decided to never stop until they got Nugget back and taught Dr. Fetus a very important lesson. A lesson that can only be taught with punches and kicks.
The challenge of Super Meat Boy returns in Super Meat Boy Forever. Levels are brutal, death is inevitable, and players will get that sweet feeling of accomplishment after beating a level. Players will run, jump, punch and kick their way through familiar settings and totally new worlds.
What’s better than playing through Super Meat Boy Forever once? The answer is simple: Playing through Super Meat Boy Forever several times and having new levels to play each time. Levels are randomly generated and each time the game is completed the option to replay the game appears and generates a whole new experience by presenting different levels with their own unique secret locations. We’ve handcrafted literally thousands of levels for players to enjoy and conquer. You can replay Super Meat Boy Forever from start to finish several times before ever seeing a duplicate level. It is truly a remarkable feat of engineering and a monumental example of ignoring the limits of rational game design and production.
They don’t give Oscars to games, but they probably will after Super Meat Boy Forever becomes the best movie of 2020 and 2021! Our story takes Meat Boy and Bandage Girl through several worlds in search of their darling little Nugget with beautifully animated cutscenes and musical accompaniment that makes Citizen Kane look like a reaction video to an sled unboxing. Players will laugh, they will cry, and when all is said and done maybe they’ll emerge from the experience a little better than when they started. Ok so that last part probably won’t happen but marketing text is hard to write.
- Run, Jump, Punch and Slide your way through literally thousands of levels!
- Experience a story so that it will influence the cinematic landscape for decades to come.
- Fight Bosses, find secrets, unlock characters, live in the world we’ve created because the real world can kinda suck sometimes!
- The long awaited sequel to Super Meat Boy has finally arrived!
This Action game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We cant see the floor the cutscenes are broken and sometimes the game just crashes we were about to s-rank the game until this happened.
Once we came back to playing the game, cutscene audio started to freeze and the game has lost it's audio. So we have to keep deleting and reinstalling the game. Can you make a new update to fix that.
Even though it isnt like the original, we still love the plot and the animations. Its been a little while since Ive played the game but its still in our mind. Awesome job making the game in mobile Tip if you have read through here If the floor is not showing in any level, put the game in 60fps(in the settings) it will reappear.
This is a very good game and we enjoy the graphics and gameplay but we really wish that minigames that can be found on PC and console could come to mobile. Also, theres a strange glitch where when we load the game up for the first time, the surface part of the floor and the surface part of the wall dont load in and sometimes the background also gets messed up. But the second time we load the game, everything thing looks normal. We dont know if this is from us pressing the buttons too fast or something but its kind of annoying and we hope it gets patched soon. Everything else about the game is perfect and might even be one of our favorite mobile games ever.
This game makes some people rage, this game makes some people want to send the device they are playing this game on to the moon and blow it up sometimes, but the rage it makes you feel is the perfect kind of rage that makes for the perfect experience, we have had tons of rage games like this like super mombo quest, yet when we beat that thing we felt absolutely engulfed in adrenaline and amazingness, and its the exact same for super meat boy forever, not that we have beat it yet, but its certainly an educated guess.
The game is very good, a bit less peak from the actual Super Meat Boy, but still good. Though, whenever we play, the first level doesnt have any ground loaded in, making it basically impossible to S a level due to not being able to see where the ground is. Other than that, 10/10 would download 15 different times.
It is good for: -what it can do as a mobile game -price tag is teeny.
The game may be raging but the game is fun and nothing is wrong with this game.
Now, the game itself is really fun, even if its old, it gets a lot of hate in 2024, but we dont really see it, worth the TWO dollars, honestly it should be five dollars, too over hated, but it could use an update as in a new world or more controls, dont get us wrong the controls are..well not the best but it is still good, but could use a menu for controls, we dont regret buying it at all.
Some times we hate the game ngl but sometimes its fun.
The game is infuriating, but to us, kinda in a good way since it makes the thrill of beating it so much better. However when we got to tetanusville, we couldnt see the ground, at all, which is making it really difficult for us to play. Id like to see that fixed, but other than that, the game is pretty much awesome.
Every time we exit meat grinder, the floor graphics glitches and it would be extremely hard for us to play.
The walls( and floor) are missing for us all of a sudden >:(.
This is an amazing game that Im still currently attempting to beat 100% but the main problem we have is with the textures of the floor, they never load no matter how much we restart the app and its really making the game unplayable for us.
Please update game so that we can play more smoothly. If you dont read this message it will probably be too late.
Ive progressed far and have had a lot of fun until.. Tetanusville had invisible walls and floors.
The ground just disappeared when we reset the game, and we would lose all our progress if we deleted the game.
We noticed that there is a red border on the left and right side of the screen that stays no matter what. The game will sometimes not show textures after you play a warp zone which is annoying because you gotta close the app and reopen it. The second warp zone is impossible to see your character since it is in a meter. If we make a new game in the mobile version the seed will be very different on different platforms. Although the touch controls work very well and these factors arent too bad but very annoying.
The game is quite fun but when you leave the app or quit (swiping up), the sound is gone when you go back. It goes back to normal now and then but we dont know how to replicate.
Everytime we get into the game it like glitches but idk why it does that, and the second thing is everytime we play a level the floor disappeared please fix this bug.
The game is good but please remove the invisible floor glitch we really hate it plus it makes us think we are going to fall through the floor of levels and boss fights.
Every time when Im on the second boss, we hit that thing which switches the air and when Im going to hit the brain, it wont let us and we go straight to the broken shards and die and we dont like it.
Please change it the guy sticks up the middle finger and we spent 2 dollars on this game we will play it more if you change the middle finger part please and if you do thank you.
Sometimes when we click, it doesnt register and the cling boss is too hard because when we hit this thing to turn on the fans, it doesnt turn them on.
Ive been playing again but one issue the ground isnt loading pls fix it and its kinda annoying.
100% best game on the App Store. Meat Boy.Forever.
The music is very good and its a console quality game. We remember smashing controllers during the Xbox 360 days playing the first game. This is a endless runner spin on the game and is very fun.
Ive played for several hours and it played fine, but now its all glitch when opening and certain textures dont load on the third world.
We love the super meat boy games very very much (even if the bosses are not the best) but it really stinks that the music doesnt work for us, Ive tried deleting the game and reinstalling it Ive tried messing with the setting the last thing we tried was turning our phone on and off and nothing worked. Please fix this problem.
Really fun and great port but there is a continuous glitch where only the level props and obstacles are visible and another where ALL the cutscenes flash on and off and moves out of frame.
This games art and music are cinematic at most. The controls are decent (needs an update). The gameplay is surprisingly fun and cutscenes feel like your watching a movie. We have four problems with this game though. One: Randomly while fighting the lil slugger boss, Meat Boy (while spamming punch) will decide to freeze in air killing you. Two: Whenever we boot up the game our screen decides to pull a grandma with laxatives and shake violently like its having a seizure. Three: The stages ground wont load and it displays an invisible texture causing stages like stage 4 to be impossible. Four: This game feels like an IP dump. Feels like they found a generic 2D auto run template off of google and slapped it with the super meat boy brand. As some one whos been around since the ps vita days, this is madly disappointing to us. Also Ive been scrolling through the replies and have noticed the review team has not been responsive. We are currently on an IPhone 12 max and currently running iOS 17.1. Please fix these issues and this game will certainly go far.
Hello! So we are not sure how to report bugs. In the latest version, with iOS17 update, the game is very glitchy. We have a video of it but nit sure where to send this bug report. Really screws with our eyes the way it is glitchy on the iPhone 13 mini. We have the game updated to the latest version too.
Sometimes the screen glitches out and then when you go into a level some of the platforms are missing please fix.
Its a good game but the controls are bad and the ground just disappears randomly and the screen looks like its having a seizure every time a cut scene play but the music is good.
We like the game because its a good touching type. We like how the game works with the touchscreen we thought it was gonna be harder than swiping what its typing so thats good anyways, we like the game. Tell us a good port we just wish they actually port Super Meat Boy 2010 game to be ported into iOS and android. Can you Magine oh yeah its also controller compatible oh to do is grab your controller. Make sure it has Bluetooth and then youre good to play your game so thank you team meat reporting this game in so is dr fetus mean meat machine went to iOS and android see you in. Dr fetus mean meat machine.
We havent seen anyone else mention this but every time we beat the warp zone it wont give the character or show that we completed we love the game but It wont allow us to complete any of the warp zones It NEEDS and update.
This is the best game on mobile. Period. And one of the best games ever made. Super Meat Boy Forever is AMAZING!!!!!! Get it. Now. Right now. 10/10 5/5 100/100.
Been wanting the meat for so long and its finally here albeit with a simplified control scheme. Im not a fan of these controls but they work well here and the gameplay is smooth. Some levels are tough but there is always a way and its fun figuring it out no matter god crazy it makes you. Hopefully more content is released because this game deserves it. Maybe even a level editor so we can create our own to share.
Good gameplay. Some minor bugs need to be fixed. For example, the camera will keep moving down when restarting from some checkpoints after dying.
Im having fun with this game but our only problem with it is that for us, the cutscene audio only plays out of one ear. After the cutscene the rest of the game is fine.
Enjoy having this game at our fingertips now! Well done.
Stoked on the release! First impressions: Beautiful artwork, great voice work for the cutscenes, fun/challenging levels, and easy to learn controls. Looking forward to sinking our teeth into another maddening Meat boy marvel.
Its been years ! Glad its finally out.
This game should have launched on mobile. It doesnt feel like a console game, and definitely didnt warrant its original price when it originally launched.
Ive long awaited this for a long time.
The controls of this game is very weird. Most of our deaths are due to the game not registering an input. All we ask for is a toggleable visible controller like in lots of mobile games.
This game is very good. But we think they should add a mode so you dont have to keep getting out of a level and getting back in for s rank. There should be a mode so if you die it just sends you back to the start and that should give you s rank if you beat it.
We cannot hit the second boss though whenever we flip the switch then try to hit him its like hes not even there.
Could be better but some textures on the lab dont load in levels and make it really hard to beat.
The floor texture wont load and it just shows the decorations. At first it was just on file 1, but then it happened to every file, even after deleting them and starting new ones. We hope this gets fixed soon because we can barely figure out what to do, especially on parts that require wall jumping.
