BADLAND is an endless runner/action game with distinct levels and physics-based gameplay. Playing as one or more silhouetted forest creatures, players must fly through each colorful level without getting stuck in the environment or destroyed by hazards. The core gameplay resembles Flappy Bird in that you must tap the flap button repeatedly to keep your character in flight. Creative power-ups, like one that creates clones of the protagonist, and numerous physics-oriented traps make for an interesting and challenging experience.

After a little more time cooking in the oven, BADLAND: Game of the Year Edition is finally ready for the world. The game releases May 27th on PC (via Steam), PS4, PS3 and Vita. Xbox One users have to wait two days to get their hands on the game, whereas Wii U folk will need to be a little more patient for an expected June release.
The central idea behind BADLAND is you're a little bird thing that was tossed out with the rest of the garbage. Gameplay is a cross between an endless runner and a platformer, though because your bird character is such a weirdo, things get crazy pretty fast. Crazy as in you can change size, splatter into dozens of copies of yourself, and so on. You'll need to use all of that craziness to survive a world of tilting platforms, sticky cockleburs, sharp fan blades and exploding plant things.
