Also players have written fantastic reviews and comments too. Here’s one example:
“Undoubtedly the best game I’ve ever bought: the Decadent and magical atmosphere is spectacularly breathtaking, while the gameplay is simple and at the same time highly competitive. My addiction to it is such that I’m even dreaming about it at night! :)”

That’s just awesome. Thank you all! :)

The post First BADLAND update is here! appeared first on BADLAND - Atmospheric Action Side-Scroller Game from Frogmind.

BADLAND has been developed fully independently (no publishers, no investors) by our two-man indie game studio Frogmind with the help of a part-time audio designer, Joonas Turner. BADLAND is Frogmind’s first game and its development took one year of full-time work from both of the studio’s founders, Johannes Vuorinen (code) and Juhana Myllys (art).

We have already started working on Day II. We have big plans for it and we want to continue bringing something new in the Day II also. We will bring a new update that will begin the Day II next month, on May. Even before that, really soon we will bring a smaller update with new multiplayer levels to play with your friends.

BADLAND has received mostly 5 star reviews everywhere in the world. Thank you! Here’s a fresh screenshot taken from AppAnnie that collects reviews everywhere in the world:

Here are two different kind of user reviews from users from the App Store:
Unreal game 5/5 stars
After 5 years of playing all the best itouch/iPhone games. This game goes in my top 3 ever. This means this game is incredible. This is like an Xbox360 arcade game on an iPhone. Unreal 10/10 A must buy. Definately worth $4!

HORRIBLE!!!! 1/5 stars
I paid 4.99 to fly some stupid black thing around a tunnel??? That’s it?? Complete waste of time and money, I don’t recommend this to anyone! If some people like it, hey, that’s great, but this app certainly doesn’t work for me!

And here are some reviews from critics:

The post Release date announcement & new gameplay trailer appeared first on BADLAND - Atmospheric Action Side-Scroller Game from Frogmind.

We want to thank all the testers that helped us out to catch bugs and tweak things to the perfection. We are now really, really satisfied with the result. We are very happy that we had time to implement every feature we wanted to the launch version of the game. But we are definitely not stopping to the launch. We want to bring new content and features in updates. We want to keep developing BADLAND. Thanks also to you all hundreds of beta tester applicants! We really appreciate you wanted to help us. Unfortunately we couldn’t take everyone in due to very limited available slots because of technical limitations.

The release date then? The actual date is still not official but we can say the release will be in month’s time. We will let you know the precise date as soon as we can.

BADLAND will support iPad, iPhone and iPod touch – and it’s an universal app so you only need to buy it once and you can play it in your every iOS device. And because the game supports iCloud, your game progress will be same in every iOS device you own. There are no in-app purchases – you get the whole game with one purchase. Oldskool style.

Here are some fresh screenshots from BADLAND in Night. Enjoy:

Next week we will publish a new fresh gameplay video showing something really cool. Stay tuned! Exciting times ahead! :)

Some of you have asked about the multiplayer which was shown in our last blog post whether or not its available in iPhone and iPod touch. The answer is yes – it works exactly the same way as shown in the video playing with iPad.

Also, Juhana made a nice image about all the four different sections in the game: Dawn, Noon, Dusk and Night. Enjoy! :)

The post Finalization & testing appeared first on BADLAND - Atmospheric Action Side-Scroller Game from Frogmind.

The multiplayer is all about survival of the fittest – with no rules. It’s completely okay to push your opponent to a spinning circular saw in order to survive. The multiplayer shares the same easy to grasp controls and the gameplay mechanics as the single player, so it’s easy to pick any friend (or foe) to play against you. However, skills matter in the end. The physical gameplay makes sure that every game is different.

BADLAND will feature 12 multiplayer levels at launch, and we will keep adding more levels in updates.

During the past few weeks, we adjusted our estimate for the launch and we confirm it is this March.
