Levels take like 1min to complete in total, but they're made of several chunks that have checkpoints at the start of them.

It's not endless btw in case people scrolled to the pros and cons, the 'endless runner style' means it's an auto-runner It doesn't happen very often, and for the most part this side of things holds up really well, but it is an issue we encountered on a few occasions during our playthrough. There are also times when the procedural generation throws a wobbly and dishes you out a section of platforming that's impossible to pass, forcing you to reload. Having level elements generate differently every time you jump into a new game, for us, actually serves to rob Super Meat Boy Forever of much of that addictive, highly replayable quality that kept us coming back for more in 2010. We miss being able to learn levels, to perfect the intricate death mazes laid before us and, honestly, chipping away at our best times as we got to grips with Team Meat's fiendish creations was our favourite thing about the original game. However, as we previously mentioned, the free-running, procedurally-generated nature of proceedings here does create some problems. If you loved OG Super Meat Boy purely for its insane difficulty, you're in for a proper treat here. We love how Team Meat point-blank refuses to hold your hand during these encounters, with the key to defeating bosses left entirely for you to figure out for yourself as you're repeatedly mashed and smashed around the screen. Speaking of boss battles, they really are a highlight of the gameplay here, bringing worlds to an exciting end with some imaginative and clever face-offs against screen-filling creations that will test your skills to the absolute limits.
