Team Meat has unveiled Super Meat Boy: The Game for iOS. In a post on the game's official site, creator Edmund McMillen revealed that the game isn't simply a port, but has instead been rebuilt from the ground up specifically for touch controls.

"As some of you know, we have been playing with the idea of porting SMB on the iPhone for some time," McMillen wrote. "Sadly, there was no way of doing this 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. Super Meat Boy isn't a game we want to make a sub-par version of just to cash in...so, we decided to totally remake the whole game instead, from the ground up!"

According to McMillen, the game is "a feature length touch controlled platformer SPECIFICALLY designed for touch devices." He noted that it won't be "a sh*tty port of an existing game with non tactile buttons spread all over the screen" but that it will still be "the Super Meat Boy you're used to."

McMillen confirmed that Super Meat Boy: The Game will be a brand new game with "new art, new sound, everything." Not many details are available, but more updates will be coming soon.
