Super Meat Boy Creators Deliver Super Meat World
Super Meat Boy was one of the most loved indy games of last year. The old school gameplay fused with a plot that was … mostly made of meat … was loved by all sorts of players. There was only one real problem with the game, and that was replay value. Once you beat every stage, you could go back and do it again, or try to get better times on the leaderboards, but this was one of those games where each level only really had one solution, and once you figured it out, the game became less interesting.
Well, the creators of Super Meat Boy are out to change all that with Super Meat World! Super Meat World, simply put, is a Super Meat Boy level editor, that allows Super Meat Boy players to share their own creations with other Super Meat Boy players around the world. Now, this retro hardcore 2D platformer has infinite replay value as it has infinite stages!
Here is the full list of Super Meat World features, as told by developer Edmund Land to Kotaku.
-Users have the ability to create anything they have seen in game, minus bosses and warp zones.
-Users can then upload their levels to Super Meat World where they can be played and voted on by the community.
-Users can also take their uploaded levels and create full chapters with par times, custom titles and music.
-Users can choose from a full cast of 20 characters to play as in their levels and chapters, regardless of if they have unlocked them in the main game.
-Awesome chapters and levels will be hand picked by Team Meat and become featured as “recommended chapters”.
-The level editor is FREE, a final gift from Team Meat to the fans who have supported us.
“We always wanted to release a basic level editor,” Land said “but the idea started to balloon when we decided to buy servers and program a fully automated level portal (Super Meat World) to support these levels as a bonus chapter for the PC version. We will be doing one more update to SMW next week adding a few missing features and fixing up a couple editor bugs. After that we will be closing the book on the PC version, porting SMB to Mac and swiftly moving on to game number two (because we cant seem to stay happy without working on something constantly).”
What will this next game be? Well it won’t be Super Meat Boy 2. Land explicitly said there will never, EVER, be a Super Meat Boy 2. So get your fill of meat platforming now because it won’t be coming back.
