Brace yourselves for a mind-boggling, meat-mincing puzzle experience like no other, hitting PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on 22 June.

This thrilling match-4 puzzler was showcased at the Best Indie Games Summer Showcase 2023, unveiling its unique twist that introduces an array of deadly hazards. Get ready to face buzzsaws, missiles, and a host of diabolical contraptions, all cooked up by the mischievous Dr. Fetus in his laboratory. Mean Meat Machine flawlessly blends the hardcore challenge that made Super Meat Boy famous with an intense action-packed gameplay, creating a one-of-a-kind gaming experience.

What does the game entail?

Let’s delve into the game itself. Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine picks up the story immediately after the events of Super Meat Boy Forever. Having meticulously studied Meat Boy, the villainous Dr. Fetus now possesses all the necessary data to engineer the perfect clone of our beloved protagonist! However, there’s a slight hitch: the DNA sample he collected is far from flawless, resulting in…well, less-than-perfect clones. In response, Dr. Fetus concocts a series of merciless test chambers to separate the good clones from the inferior ones. Initially, these specimens bear no resemblance to Meat Boy, but over time, that unmistakably grotesque yet endearing face emerges. The perfect clones are within reach… almost.

Prepare to navigate through familiar locations from both Super Meat Boy and Super Meat Boy Forever, such as the picturesque forest, the hospital, and the salt factory. Be captivated by the stunning backgrounds and animations crafted by the talented artists behind the original Super Meat Boy Forever. Additionally, immerse yourself in the wonderful soundtrack by RIDICULON, which accompanies your every move. With over 100 meticulously hand-crafted levels, brimming with creative traps and hazards, the challenge is set before you. Survive this hardcore rendition of a classic puzzle formula, and you’ll face an epic boss battle at the end of each world, truly testing your skills to the limit.

Tommy Refenes, co-founder of Team Meat, couldn’t contain his excitement, exclaiming,

“Expect a blast as you attempt to group clones together to create matches while skillfully dodging the hellish obstacles we’ve designed.”
