Description



Dr. Fetus` Mean Meat Machine provides the perfect combination of classic puzzle-gameplay and hardcore platforming elements that Super Meat Boy is known for. Puzzle your way through beautiful hand-crafted worlds and more than 100 puzzle-levels, filled with creative traps and hazards. At the end of each world, prepare for a gruesome boss fight that will provide the ultimate challenge.

Puzzle your way through familiar Super Meat Boy and Super Meat Boy Forever locations like the picturesque forest, the hospital, and salt factory in a fresh Puyo Puyo-inspired format. However, in Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine, matching at least 4 clones of the same kind and creating awesome combos isn't enough – you'll also have to avoid lethal hazards and traps, such as sawblades, rockets and pendulums. It’s a demented and hardcore spin on the classic puzzle formula you know and love!




Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine takes place right after the events of Super Meat Boy Forever. After meticulously analyzing Meat Boy all throughout Super Meat Boy Forever (did you notice the cameras in the levels???), the nefarious Dr. Fetus now has all the data he needs to create the perfect Meat Boy clone! There’s just one problem: The DNA sample he’s collected isn’t a perfect specimen, which in turn yields some…less than perfect clones…

But fear not, Dr. Fetus knows how to solve this problem. He creates a bunch of ruthless test chambers and starts sending all of the clones he’s created through them, in order to weed out the crap clones from the good ones. The specimens start out looking nothing like Meat Boy, but over time that grotesquely lovable face that Dr. Fetus hates so much, starts to emerge. Perfect clones are just on the horizon and after they’re done…who knows what happens next? Probably something to do joyously with torturing and killing lots of Meat Boys for the hell of it!

Enjoy dazzling backgrounds and animations from the original Super Meat Boy & Super Meat Boy Forever artists and listen to the wonderful soundtrack by RIDICULON, with unique remixed Super Meat Boy Forever tracks and new tunes.

most of the negative reviews just come from not enjoying the gimmick this game has. the layback nature of Puyo Puyo and excrutiating difficulty of Team Meat games, mixed together into this lab-made abomination did not

As an avid Puyo player, this game is horrible. It doesn't control anywhere near as well as it should and some of the A rank times are genuinely ridiculous

Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine is an eccentric and brutal fusion of two vastly different worlds—classic falling-block puzzle games and the sadistic, precision-driven design philosophy of the Super Meat Boy universe.

I’m as big a Super Meat Boy fan as anyone else. After spending about 15 minutes stuck in the middle of Level 1-13, I unlocked the achievement “Why am I still playing this?” It’s almost as if they know this game sucks.

Milking the fans | KAMGUSTA's MINI REVIEW It's a puzzle game similar to "Puyo Puyo" (for those who don't know, it's a variation of "Tetris") - a spin-off of the "Meat Boy" franchise. It checks a lot of boxes: nice and

It hurts leaving a bad review like this because I am in love with the art style and gameplay of this game so much. But some levels are super unbalanced, and the A+ timer is very inconsistent in difficulty. I hope they
