★★★★ Jack Miller 4/24/2026 v6755.1849.1962.1410
I'm very disappointed in this game but it was only one dollar and I really like the original so glad to support devs. I absolutely love the console version of Super Meat Boy. This mobile game is a lot different. You don't control the running or direction of your character, only time the jumps while your character automatically runs.
★★★★ Aeron Mesa 4/16/2026

Ok, the game just doesn't work anymore. the opening cutscene is what only plays, but after that?... NOTHING. the screen is stuck at the part where bandage girl and meat boy are teaming up to save their kid. tried every solution possible, nothing. please, fix this.

★★★★ Cyrus 10/29/2025 v6755.1849.1962.680
I'm having the same issue as some other reviews where the game freezes during the opening cutscene at the high-five. I have not been able to open the game and play it even after several reinstalls of the game. I'm on a google pixel 7 if that helps developers lol please fix. 😭🥺😭

Access blocked: Super Meat Boy Forever has not completed the Google verification process.
★★★★★ Jan tuomi 1/6/2026
it worked really well untill I had to factory reset my phone and install game again. Now start cutscene freezes at end of scene, it makes me start new game, even though I was on the final boss before reset... Cannot even play it anymore, sucks because I really enjoyed the game, loved the original meatboy on pc. Would give 5 stars if this didn't happen. Also I've been waiting months for an update to fix the bug, and uninstalling game, clearing cache, app storage, online and offline starting.
★★★★★ GuyDudeThing 12/26/2025
Just a poorly designed mess. Instead of methodically figuring out the path of the level and executing it like in the og Super Meat Boy (which was fun, rewarding and incentivized mastery), you instead throw Meat Boy into the obstacles until you eventually get through, which isn't fun and doesn't feel earned in the slightest. The controls are so simple that there is no mastery to be had, just memorizing what the level requires of you when getting better ranks which kills any sense of progression.
★★★★★ Kakyoinsfeet Skibidi 10/19/2025 v6755.1849.1962.680
I was playing, but I tried to go in, but it wouldn't load, and at the end of the cutscene, if I would freeze, what a waste of 1 dollar
★★★★★ Franky G 10/18/2025 v6755.1849.1962.680
I cant even open the game it refuses to load past the intro:[[ but ik fun game i just cant play
