Overview
Super Meat Boy HANDHELD! is a platformer developed and released by
Team Meat on April 3, 2010 for $0.99 for the
iPhone and
iPad. It is a purposefully bad version of
Super Meat Boy in a style similar to handheld games developed by
Tiger Electronics in the early 1990s. The game's description on the
iTunes Store gives humorous descriptions such as "All the branding of Super Meat Boy without a lot of the FUN! PERFECT!" and "Impress your friends with its custom backgrounds and sounds!"
The game was made in response to Team Meat developer
Tommy Refenes's rant at Game Developer Conference 2010 calling the iPhone App Store "the Tiger Handheld game of this generation" due to constant watered-down ports (including bad controls) of popular games.
