Team Meat, the sarcastic but lovable team behind brutal platformer Super Meat Boy, is apparently working to bring its runaway hit to iOS devices everywhere. So if your iPad is gathering dust, now might be a good time to get it cleaned up and ready to go.

The studio revealed that instead of porting the game from XBLA/PC to iOS, it is working on a brand new game specifically developed for mobile devices. According to the post, there was no way for the team to port the game without it “becoming a pile of garbage,” so they elected to start over.

The blog post goes on:

“Super Meat Boy is a twitch platformer with precision controls, there was no way in hell this would work on a touchscreen 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.”

Team Meat doesn’t provide much in the way of details, but it does note that the game will be a feature-length, touch-based platformer. The company also mentioned that the game features new sound, new art and new “everything.”

Will you play Super Meat Boy: The Game on your iOS device?
