- Mewgenics' developers made one of my favourite hardcore platformers, and you can grab it right now for less than $4 - 24 February 2026
The End is Nigh is effectively an unofficial sequel to Super Meat Boy: it's a reflex-oriented platformer with quick deaths, quick respawns and very dark humour. Protagonist Ash "flops his way through a future of pain and suffering" in search of a friend whose body parts are spread around a spike-filled hellscape. Collectibles are tumours... Read more.
- The End is Nigh STEAM WORKSHOP Update! - 24 October 2019
Greetings TEIN fans! 2 years ago Ed and I released this game upon the world and while it ended up being a fairly niche game, the people who played it loved it and it’s had a small but dedicated community of speedrunners and modders that have been active ever since. The stuff people have made has been very creative and it even surprises me at some of the things people have been able to do with the game. Anyway I had TEIN’s code project open to prep the epic store version of the game a few months ago, and figured, while I’m in there, why not add a bunch of features modders had been wanting for a while, so that’s what this update is about. More customizability, easier modding, and WORKSHOP SUPPORT to make it ultra easy to play the stuff other people have created! If you’re interested in modding the game, please check out our discord server. There’s plenty of people there who know more abou…

- Abz and The End is Nigh are currently free on the Epic Store - 5 September 2019
Another week, and another twosome of gaming freebies fired up from the depths of the Epic Games Store, this time catching the light and taking the form of underwater adventure Abz and post-apocalyptic platformer The End is Nigh. Abz is the brainchild of Matt Nava, who previously served as art director on developer That Game Company's seminal Journey, and there are clear similarities between the two games. Both focus on a lone protagonist's slow, steady journey intruding upon magnificent natural sights, and both blend genteel puzzling with frequently breathtaking set-pieces, enriched by the music of Austin Wintory. Indeed, Abz 's stylised rendition of a lost undersea world, and its aquatic inhabitants, is never less than beautiful - even if the experience doesn't quite manage to deliver the emotional wallop that it's clearly aiming for.

- The End is Nigh and Abzu are now free on the Epic Games Store - 5 September 2019
Thursday is upon us, and that means it's time to once again turn our eyes to the Epic Games Store, where a pair of new games have gone free for the week . First up is The End is Nigh, an action-platformer by Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel, in which you'll die a lot, "but that's okay because you are probably already dead anyway." The End is Nigh is a game about Ash, a survivor of some world-ending event who "flops his way through a future of pain and suffering," as the game listing puts it. "Feel his stress levels rise as you throw him into an endless swarm of decaying, mutant animal-like creatures and help aid his final epic quest... to simply make a friend (out of pieces of people he finds along his journey)." That lovely-sounding concept is backed by more than 600 levels, 12 chapters, collectible tumors, and—somewhat oddly for a pixel platformer—an M-rat…

- Wot I Think: The End Is Nigh - 24 July 2017
You can’t walljump. For me, this is what defines The End Is Nigh , the hardcore platformer from Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel. McMillen’s last co-created platformer was Super Meat Boy, a game that made simply moving left and right a kinetic joy. The End Is Nigh is by comparison a slower but no less difficult game. (more…)
- The End is Nigh is a stranger and more surprising Super Meat Boy - 18 July 2017
The last thing I expected from The End is Nigh, Super Meat Boy creator Edmund McMillen’s latest game in the controller-busting platformer genre, was for it to suddenly open up into an exploration adventure with forking paths and curious characters.  You play as Ash, a sentient ball of guess-what and one of the only survivors of a nondescript apocalyptic event. Ash gets lonely and decides to find a friend, but needs the body parts to build one first, which can only be obtained by jumping through dangerous obstacle courses.  At first, it feels like business as usual, moving from screen to screen dodging spikes, making precise leaps, finding secrets, and grabbing collectibles (tumors, this time). Air control and momentum are still emphasized and feel similar to Super Meat Boy’s floaty but precise controls. The most apparent difference is that wall-jumping is out and…
- Now Available on Steam - The End Is Nigh - 12 July 2017
The End Is Nigh is Now Available on Steam! The End Is Nigh is a sprawling adventure platformer where you die a lot, but thats ok because you are probably already dead anyway.
- Edmund McMillen's The End is Nigh is reminiscent of Super Meat Boy - 16 June 2017
The End is Nigh , a collaboration between The Binding of Isaac creator Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel, will release on July 13, it has been confirmed. Along with the news, a new gameplay trailer has been uploaded by Glaiel, offering a more substantial serving of footage than previous videos. For anyone who played and loved Super Meat Boy – which McMillen worked on – this looks essential. Even the movement of player-character Ash looks similar to that oddly loveable chunk of meat, though the levels don't appear to scroll, instead switching to different screens. Whether the game holds surprises or whether it is, indeed, a fairly straightforward platformer is besides the point: I think it's gonna be good. Here's the video.
- The End Is Nigh shows off deadly platforming - 15 June 2017
Super Meat Boy co-creator Edmund McMillen and Closure dev Tyler Glaiel have shown off more of After announcing The End Is Nigh last week, the deadly new platformer they announced last week. As you might expect, the new gameplay video is full of spikes, pits, jumping up and sliding down walls, quick deaths, quick restarts, and odd-lookin’ sad creatures. Unlike most games announced around E3, this one is coming soon — in just under one month — so have a look, tired eyes. …
- Binding of Isaac creator Edmund McMillen reveals The End is Nigh - 7 June 2017
The Binding of Isaac creator Edmund McMillen told the world last month that he and collaborator Tyler Glaiel had been working on a brand new project that was very near, but not quite ready for, an official announcement. Today he unveiled that project as The End is Nigh , "a sprawling adventure-platformer where you die a lot, but that's okay because you are probably already dead anyway."  The End is Nigh puts players in control of Ash, "one of the few 'things' that have 'survived' the 'end of the world'," as the Steam description puts it. "Follow Ash as he flops his way through a future of pain and suffering. Feel his stress levels rise as you throw him into an endless swarm of decaying, mutant animal-like creatures and help aid his final epic quest... to simply make a friend (out of pieces of people he finds along his journey)."  You will als…
