About Badland
Badland is a side-scrolling action adventure set in a forest that looks like it came out of a fairy tale, full of trees, flowers and the creatures that live there. Something in that forest has gone terribly wrong, and you take control of one of its dwellers to find out what. The screen keeps moving, so you flap and glide your way forward through the scenery while the scroll carries you along.
What fills each stretch of forest is an inventive run of traps and obstacles, laid out across treacherous terrain. Objects along the way can transform your creature, which can open new ways through a tricky section. The world is drawn in dark silhouettes, giving the forest its eerie mood despite its beauty. The game has won awards, and its wide landscape view suits both computers and phones.

How to play Badland
Objective
Guide your forest dweller through the moving forest, survive its traps and obstacles, and uncover what has gone wrong in this fairy-tale setting.
Getting started
- On a phone, hold it sideways first; the forest scrolls past in a wide landscape view on any screen.
- Get a feel for flapping and gliding in the first stretch, where your creature is carried along by the moving screen.
- Watch the path ahead for traps and treacherous terrain before the scroll pushes you into them.
- Try the strange objects you come across, since some of them transform your creature.
Tips
- The screen keeps moving whether you are ready or not, so plan your next flap while the current one carries you rather than waiting until a trap is close.
- Precise flapping matters more than constant flapping; small, measured movements keep the creature from drifting into hazards.
- Treat each transforming object as a puzzle piece and think about how the change might help with the obstacle just ahead before you grab it.
