Team Meat has announced the development of Super Meat Boy: The Game, an all-new feature length touch-controlled platformer designed for touch devices.
“Sadly, there was no way of [bringing the original Super Meat Boy to iOS] without the game becoming a pile of garbage, Super Meat Boy is a twitch platformer with precision controls, there was no way in hell this would work on a touch screen with buttons all over it, Super Meat Boy isn’t a game we want to make a sub-par version of just to cash in,” explained Team Meat’s Edmund McMillen.
“So, we decided to totally remake the whole game instead, from the ground up!”
To be clear, Super Meat Boy: The Game isn’t a “a s***ty port of an existing game with non tactile buttons spread all over the screen blocking the players view and making for frustrating controls”. And it’s not “the Super Meat Boy you’re used to, there are aspects of Super Meat Boy in there, obviously, but this is a brand new game with new art, new sound, everything.”
Sounds good to us.
