Everyone’s favourite squishy heroSuper Meat Boyis back, but not in the brutally-fast-platforming way you might expect. Team Meat have announced Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine, a match-four tile puzzler that follows Meat Boy’s archnemesis as he attempts to cook up the perfect Meat Boy clone.

You might notice that some of the meat clones look notably unlike our Meat Boy, hence the deadly Tetris test chambers. Dr. Fetus is trying to weed out the good clones from the crap ones, and the best way to do that is to squash the loveable bundles of DNA while riffing on the most iconic puzzler of all time.

Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine is coming to PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch, and the wicked puzzler has a tentative 2023 release date onSteam.

The original Super Meat Boy made it onto our list of thebest platformers on PC, despite its age. It’s still just as snappy and satisfying as ever, although I’d still like an officialSuper Meat Boy Galaxysomeday.
