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!

Clear your brainrot. A color pattern lights up, you memorize it, it disappears – and you rebuild it from memory before the clock runs out. GridMaster is memory training for short breaks: a run takes one to five minutes, perfect for the train, a coffee break or the couch. Easy to learn, hard to master. HOW IT WORKS • Memorize: colors appear on the grid • Rebuild: pick a color, tap the tiles • Right? Next level. Wrong? You see the solution and go again DAILY CHALLENGE Five new patterns every day – the same for every player. Keep trying until you clear them all, keep your streak alive and earn coins. 200 LEVELS THAT GROW WITH YOU From a 3x3 grid with three colors to a 5x5 grid with five. Patterns get bigger, time gets shorter. Fast solves and combos earn more block points. NEW GAME MODES • Endless: no level list, the patterns just keep growing • Blitz: 60 seconds on the clock – right answers add time, mistakes cost time • Sequence: tiles light up one by one, tap them in the same order • What changed?: find every tile that is different • Flash: the pattern shows for just a blink (from level 15) TWO PLAYERS, ONE PHONE Put the phone between you: each player rebuilds their half of the grid. First correct half takes the round. First to five rounds wins. COLLECT AND CUSTOMIZE • Earn block points and spend them on cosmetics • A free loot box every 10,000 block points • Themes, grid styles, frames, sprites, animations and sound packs • Stats for your record, combos and play time Feels like a real board game: soft 3D tiles, haptic feedback on every tap, playable with one hand. How good is your memory, really? Find out.
