'Dr. Fetus' Mean Meat Machine' Gets Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox and PC Release Date - Trailer

by Rainier on June 6, 2023 @ 9:55 a.m. PDT

Set in the Super Meat Boy universe featuring Meat Boy’s archnemesis, Dr. Fetus' Mean Meat Machine is a match-4 puzzler given a unique twist by the nefarious Dr. Fetus.

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, missiles, and molten lava. 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!

Thunderful, Headup and Team Meat are thrilled to announce that Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine is coming to PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam) on June 22nd.

“On June 22nd, people are going to get their mitts on Dr. Fetus’s Mean Meat Machine and kill a ton of Meat Boy clones..most likely by accident.”, said Team Meat co-founder Tommy Refenes. “People are going to have a great time trying to group clones together to create matches while dodging the obstacle hell we’ve designed for them. Match 4 puzzle games don’t normally have saws, but that’s why this game f***ing rules! Our latest weird baby is coming to PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and PC! I can’t wait for everyone to play it!”

Sticking with Super Meat Boy tradition, levels in Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine are short but very difficult. Levels are divided up in phases where each phase introduces more hazards and challenges into the level. After all the phases have been completed the level is completed. If a player dies in a level they will be restarted at the beginning of the last phase they made it to. The different worlds consist of several levels and each world has a boss fight level at the end.
