Check Out ‘Badland,’ An Upcoming Side-Scrolling Platformer

TouchArcade Rating:

You’ve got to stop what you’re doing and check Badland out. It’s a side-scrolling action adventure game that puts you in control of a small flying creature on a quest that will see it discovering what’s going down in its forest. The game’s teaser trailer sheds a bit of light on the matter. Surely, all those machine parts and traps weren’t there before, right?

What’s really exciting about Badland is its vision and its production elements, the latter of which are popping out of the YouTube player for us. On the other hand, its whole “one-touch" control mechanic seems pretty clutch, too. Here’s that video, by the way:

Creator Frogmind Games, a new two-man studio composed of RedLynx veterans, says we’ll hear more about the game “later this year." We’ll definitely be in touch.

          I saw those on one TA article and thought it was pretty funny how the entire comments section got taken over by them, I promised myself to do three of these. Fortunately for you, this is my third ;)

      Yet another stellar review from Ms. Campbell. :)

      I think this deserves 5 stars. Such an awesome game. Plus it's cheap super clear and tons of fun. You say 4 and while that's close, it's not justice. Very nice writing though. Agreed with a lot you said though. The human body IS a horror movie. Ha

      I'm on the same page with the author here. This game is good fun, good visual, more than worth 99c, but it needs something else to really bring up to that 5-star rating. I would love to see ghost replays and time leaderboards!

      I honestly find the graphics quite disturbing...
