You have infinite lives to complete a level, so if you do die (which only takes one hit) then you’re put back to the previous checkpoint pretty much instantly and you’re able to try again.

There were even times later on where I felt that the game had generated an impossible section as I could not see how to get through it, but this was never actually the case and through luck or judgment I’d find the sequence of manoeuvrers I’d have to do to progress eventually. Super Meat Boy did have an element of puzzle solving but Forever takes it to another level where quite often it won’t necessarily be your skill holding you back, though you’ll need plenty of that too, but you’ll need to actually figure out what you need to do to progress first. They do a lot with the limited interactions you have. These range from crumbling platforms, chaining punches between enemies in the air to cross gaps and switches to move elements of the level to platforms appearing and disappearing as you jump or slide, breaking objects which will slow things down for a time and catapults. As you advance they introduce so many elements that are often only used on that level and with no instructions, you only have so many things you can do so you’ll be able to figure it out pretty quickly.
Your character can wall jump and if you jump off the wall then you’ll run in the opposite direction so at a basic level you can jump between walls to get height or you may have to run back to the left before you can make progress to the right. It’s a very simple game control-wise but they achieve so much with it. You press down on the dpad for the dive/slide but jumping and dashing are on every face button, take your pick.
There are four actions and that never changes throughout the game: you can jump, whilst in the air you can dash forward with a punch, you can dive out of the air and you can slide. That’s right, Meat Boy (or whoever) will run to the right automatically, through a level randomly generated from pre-made parts, and it’s up to you to jump around the platforms and hazards safely. The big difference when you start a level is that Super Meat Boy Forever is an auto-runner, rather than a traditional platformer like the last one. There are checkpoints so those sections could be seen as mini-levels in themselves. Whereas a lot of the levels would take twenty seconds or less to complete before now you’re usually looking around the minute mark, give or take, but you don’t have to complete the entire thing in one life. There are six as opposed to the twenty, but each level is far longer. When you choose a world you’ll instantly notice a difference if you’ve played the last game – there are less levels per world. There are six worlds altogether, each opening up as you beat the previous one. Super Meat Boy was all about the gameplay and Super Meat Boy Forever is much the same. The story didn’t matter before and it doesn’t matter now though. That’s it, though there are cutscenes before and after each boss which are amusing and also follow the side story of the wildlife affected by Dr Fetus’ rampage. Dr Fetus is back and he kidnaps Nugget this time so you can choose to play as Meat Boy or Bandage Girl on each level, it makes no difference to the gameplay. The story in this one is similar to Super Meat Boy, but this time Meat Boy and Bandage Girl (who you were rescuing in the last game) have had a child called Nugget. And the music! So here we have Super Meat Boy Forever on the PS4, which holds a similar philosophy but changes quite a few key mechanics which might not sit well with fans of the last title.
It was such a finely crafted game with tight controls and excellent level design which was incredibly tough but fantastically rewarding.
