Don’t get me wrong, I love mobile development as much as the next person, but I can’t help but nod in agreement with Edmund McMillen, co-creator of Super Meat Boy, when he claims that “the core of what is wrong with the mobile platform is the lack of respect for players”.
When Team Meat set out to create a Super Meat Boy version for touchscreen mobile devices, creators Tommy Refenes and Edward McMillen vowed they wouldn’t just slap a virtual gamepad on the thing and do some half-arsed port of their downloadable hit for PC and Xbox 360.
Earlier today we posted a video of an insane Super Meat Boy run through The Kid’s levels. Well, I think this guy may have just topped it…
Absolutely anyone who finishes Super Meat Boy on 100% receives my everlasting respect, but this guy? Pulling off a no death run on the notoriously balls to the wall tough ‘The Kid’ levels? This guy takes it to another level.
The official – and tiny – Super Meat Boy figurines from Voxelous and Team Meat have been revealed. Just two inches high, they’re $US12 each (plus $US3.49 shipping for one, $US3.99 for two or more). The first set includes Meat Boy, Bandage Girl, Brownie and the pathetic Tofu Boy.
Super Meat Boy is a 2D game with relatively simple graphics. That’s what it looks like, at least. This action-packed fan film by Joseph Manalaysay captures what beating one of the game’s brutal levels feels like.
