Team Meat is taking another run at Super Meat Boy. Again+ revisits the 2010 platformer with new art, music, cutscenes, levels, secrets and unlockables. Apparently sixteen years was enough time for our thumbs to forgive it.
The studio’s Steam listing, checked on Monday 16 November NZDT, promises more than 300 levels and a soundtrack by original composer Danny B. The Windows PC page is live, but its release date remains to be announced.
Familiar pain, fresh wrapping
Team Meat says the extra content is meant to give returning players surprises after years of mastering the original. It is keeping the meaning of the plus under wraps. The published screenshots show the familiar little red hero back among platforms, walls and a frankly hostile-looking environment.
For Kiwi and Aussie players, there’s no NZD or AUD price on the listing. There’s no launch time to convert either. Wishlist it if you’re keen; keep the space in your calendar until Team Meat supplies an actual date.
These are Team Meat’s announced features, not GetRekt test results. GamesRadar+ and Niche Gamer also covered the announcement, but both point back to the studio’s reveal and store information. That is one origin for the feature claims, rather than several independent gameplay checks.
Our take
The promising bit is the new material. A prettier version alone is a harder sell when the whole appeal is learning a brutally precise obstacle course; fresh levels and secrets give veterans a reason to be rubbish at it again.
Danny B returning is a welcome part of the pitch too. Whether the new presentation keeps every jump readable is something we’ll judge when we can actually play it. For now, the controller gets a temporary reprieve.
