Ever the merry pranksters, Team Meat used April Fool's Day to officially announce the mobile Super Meat Boy game it's been prototyping. The snappily-named Super Meat Boy: The Game isn't a port but a "brand new" platformer designed specifically for touchscreens, headed to iOS and Android.

"Super Meat Boy isn't a game we want to make a sub-par version of just to cash in," Team Meat's Edmund McMillen explained in a blog post, saying they couldn't make a straight port "without the game becoming a pile of garbage."

"Super Meat Boy is a twitch platformer with precision controls, there was no way in hell this would work on a touch screen with buttons all over it," he added.

Describing Super Meat Boy: The Game as a remake "from the ground up," McMillen shared one solitary screenshot of Super Meat Boy: The Game. "There are aspects of Super Meat Boy in there, obviously, but this is a brand new game with new art, new sound, everything," he said.

McMillen stressed that SMB: The Game won't be "a shitty port of an existing game with non tactile buttons spread all over the screen blocking the players view and making for frustrating controls." Which is always nice to hear.

Though McMillen's post only mentions the iPhone, the other half of Team meat, Tommy Refenes, confirmed on Twitter that it's coming to both iOS and Android. And yes, SMB composer Danny Baranowsky is onboard too.
