Oct 18, 2017 Super Meat Boy developer Team Meat recently discussed the Super Meat Boy Forever price after being asked if the game would be free by a fan on Twitter.
The much anticipated sequel to Super Meat Boy
Dr. Fetus is being a jerk again (as he does), but this time he's kidnapped Meat Boy and Bandage Girl's adorable little baby girl, named Nugget! Meat Boy and Bandage Girl will be put through the grinder (THAT ISN'T A MEAT JOKE SHUT UP) as they jump, slide, punch and kick through 6 chapters containing randomly constructed levels that increase in difficulty each time you rank them up. Beat a level, it ranks, next time you play it you get a harder version of that level until you eventually master it! There are bosses, secrets, dying, awesome music, beautiful art, and dying! Also if that isn't enough, there is a Dark World with extremely hard levels for those of you that like that sort of thing.
Features:
- Jump, Slide, Punch and Kick through 6 chapters filled with randomly constructed levels. Beat a level, it ranks up, next time you play it you get a harder version of that level.
- Tons of replayable levels! Bosses! Secrets! Punch and Kick stuff! and OTHER SURPRISES we aren't talking about just yet!
- Difficult platforming with great controls that are accessible to anyone but still require skill and practice to truly master the game.

Showing a total disregard for standard retailing convention, Xbox Live Arcade platformer Super Meat Boy will see a price cut from launch day.
Developer Team Meat announced that the game will be available for 800 Points (£6.80 / €9.60) for a limited time only before reverting to 1200 Points in November.
Its explanation for this outré sales strategy?
'We wanted to be able to do something special for Xmas,' explained co-CEO Edmund McMillen, 'but it felt like a sale only two months after launch would be a kinda sh*tty thing to do to the fans who just bought it.
'After much brainstorming Tommy and I pitched the idea of possibly launching with a sale, a way to reward the fans for buying the game at launch. Now this to my knowledge isn't something that MS has ever done, but much like 'teh Internets' we though we might as well approach the idea of a sale with the same innovative mind set.'
That's a great deal, providing you're a masochist. Eurogamer's Tom Bramwell awarded the platformer 9/10 earlier this week, noting, 'This is a hard game. It should make you want to throw the pad across the room, get up to retrieve it but then change your mind and stamp on the cat.'
Super Meat Boy launches on Xbox Live Arcade tomorrow, before terrorising Mac, PC and WiiWare users later this year.
