Super Meat Boy Forever

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. I 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 i boot up the game my screen decides to pull a grandma with laxatives and shake violently like its having a seizure. Three: The stages ground won’t 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 who’s been around since the ps vita days, this is madly disappointing to me. Also I’ve been scrolling through the replies and have noticed the review team has not been responsive. I am currently on an IPhone 12 max and currently running iOS 17.1. Please fix these issues and this game will certainly go far.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy this got ported to mobile. It's fun to play, but every now and then, the game bugs out and ruins the experience. I've had cutscene audio playing strictly in my left ear since I booted the game up, I've had cutscenes jitter back and forth to the edges of my screen which becomes very nauseating and hard to look at, and the bug that ruined the game the most was the ground disappearing during The Clinic, making it almost impossible to traverse through unless you have the level completely memorized. Not only that, but the controls become frustrating at times and it becomes a struggle to jump and punch when the time comes. I'd much rather have specified buttons rather than having one side of my phone be multiple moves. Again, I know the game is amazing and deserves its praise, but for now, it's getting 3 stars because of the bugs and controls. If the bugs are fixed and the controls become easier to use, I'll definitely give the game a higher rating.

The game itself is beautiful and fun. I don’t even mind the auto runner mechanic that much. But man, the “two button” control is awful (even for mobile). In a game that requires very specific controls, the touchscreen jumping is too floaty, and 99% of my deaths are due to punching in mid air rather then jumping again. The save points are forgiving, but having precise control would’ve made this game a true sequel.
