Super Meat Boy and The Binding Of Isaac creator Edmund McMillen has confirmed to Eurogamer that Mew-Genics has been delayed indefinitely. Formally announced two years ago as Team Meat’s (of which McMillen is one of only two members, the other being Tommy Refenes) unrelated follow-up to Super Meat Boy, Mew-Genics was dubbed to be a simulator game all about cats and your mission to attract as many to your humble abode as possible.
Beyond that, specific details and gameplay footage were never shown to the public and news on the game went worryingly quiet afterwards.
Confirming to Eurogamer the decision to put the game on hold, McMillen said:
I’m unsure of [Mew-Genics’] future but there is a chance we will attempt to revamp it in a few years with a new design of mine that will push it in a new direction that will hopefully make it more exciting...

What is Planet Ridiculon, and what are the strange sounds they're putting into Team Meat's mini-project, "Mew-Genics?"
In answer to the first question, that would be the duo of Matthias Bossi and John Evans, who are featured in the video below working on the music for Team Meat's mysterious, and allegedly very strange next project. As for the latter, we'll let the video speak for itself as Evans and Bossi put together some feline-inspired sounds (with a little bit of 20's/30's madcap music thrown in) for "Mew-Genics."

Over the weekend Team Meat continued their “Caturday” tradition of releasing some small nugget of information about their next project, Mew-Genics. Now that we have met the game’s five characters and are armed with the knowledge that it has over 12 sextillion different cats, Team Meat felt the next important marketing step to take would be to let us listen to the its title theme, “Cat Chase”.
Team Meat’s Edmund McMillen revealed the title theme on the company’s blog, saying:
“We really splurged with the soundtrack for Mew-Genics, the game will feature a full album of over 20 studio recorded songs. We really wanted to make the games music feature extended themes of the game or small stories within each song, kind of how Katamari did it in a way, except all our songs are about cats!”

And this is what the title screen song for Team Meat's upcoming mystery game "Mew-Genics" sounds like. Its official title is "Mew-Genics (Cat Chase)" by Matthias Bossi (whose work and site you can find here) and Jon Evans, both of whom will be writing and composing the planned 20-song soundtrack album for the game.
Evans and Bossi won't be the only contributors, though: Team Meat co-founder Edmund McMillen teased that we can expect announcements about special guest contributors in the lead-up to the game's release.
Here's the official bios for Bossi and Evans:
Drummer/Composer Matthias Bossi (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Skeleton Key, The Book Of Knots) and Bassist/Engineer/Producer Jon Evans (Tori Amos, Linda Perry) somehow simultaneously and magically moved to the same tiny fishing village in Massachusetts. When they're not making music together, they drink coffee and chop wood.

Super Meat Boy creators Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes can't even rest when they're taking a break. The duo, who are in the middle of remaking Smb for iOS and PCs revealed that they both had a little game jam over the course of a weekend back in September and the result is what McMillen is calling "the strangest project [he's] ever worked on.. and that's saying something": Mew-Genics.
McMillen was light on details, but said that it would be randomly-generated, strange, and full of cats. Promising that the Smb remake was still in development, McMillen says that soon they'll be sharing gameplay details, platforms, and screenshots for Mew-Genics "soon."
