Super Meat Boy Forever is Team Meat's newly revealed game for PCs and iPads.
Editor's Note: In our original story, we incorrectly stated that Super Meat Boy Forever was an endless runner. The story has been changed to reflect the correct gameplay. We regret the error.
Perhaps one of my favorite video games ever is Super Meat Boy, a brutally difficult but well-designed platformer inspired by classic games of old. It's also a game Team Meat has said would never get a proper sequel, although a touchscreen follow-up has been teased for years. Now fans can finally take a look at what Team Meat had in mind on the PAX floor: Super Meat Boy Forever, a new game designed specifically with tablets in mind. Although if you don't play games on tablets, it will get a PC versions as well.

Despite saying Super Meat Boy wouldn't have a sequel, Super Meat Boy Forever very much sounds like one. 'SMB:Forever is a full game like [Super Meat Boy],' Edmund McMillen wrote via Twitter, 'it has many chapters, bosses, warp zones, and tons more.'
The biggest question regarding a Super Meat Boy for tablets was how the controls work, given the original game worked best with gamepads. Based on a Joystiq gameplay Vine, whatever control scheme Team Meat used doesn't appear to hinder your movement. We'll have to see once it's complete, although with its current release date of 'When it's done', that could still be quite a while.

An announcement from Team Meat slates the PC release of Super Meat Boy for Nov. 30 and reveals two more playable characters, the Headcrab and Ball of Goo.
Super Meat Boy, the critically acclaimed, super-difficult platformer from indie developer Team Meat, is finally making it's way to the PC Nov. 30. The preorder is on sale via Steam, where you can pick it up at a 33 percent discount, so you'll only be spending about 10 dollars on the game. In addition, downloading the game from Steam will net you the Headcrab bonus character, who will be similar to the Xbox-only character Gish, but with more horizontal jumping power.
Even if you choose not to get the game from Steam, you'll still be able to grab an inexplicably cute bonus character, a Goo Ball from indie game World of Goo. It will play exactly like Gish but will be much, much cuter.
Team Meat is remaining tight-lipped about the 2 secret bonus characters that will be available with the PC version of the game in addition to the already announced Mr. Minecraft and Captain Viridian, saying only that 'one of them changes form, and one of them isn't organic.'
