Super Meat Boy Coming To iOS Devices

Team Meat will be making a special version of Super Meat Boy for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) which will feature touch controls and everything, but it won’t be exactly like the console/PC versions of the game. More after the break.

Via Team Meat’s official blog:

So as some of you know, we have been playing with the idea of porting SMB on the iphone for some time…

Sadly, there was no way of doing this 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…
So, we decided to totally remake the whole game instead, from the ground up!

Here is the very 1st look at… “Super Meat Boy: The Game”

We just started working on it so I’m are sure a lot will change as development unfolds but we do have a few major talking points of what the game is and what the game isn’t.

What the game is:

– A feature length touch controlled platformer SPECIFICALLY designed for Touch devices.

What the game isn’t:

– a shitty port of an existing game with non tactile buttons spread all over the screen blocking the players view and making for frustrating controls.

– 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.

Super Meat Boy was a fantastic and really challenging platformer. Making it’s jump to mobile devices should be a very interesting run for the developer. Best of luck to them!
