📖 About Badland
Guide a mysterious forest creature through a hauntingly beautiful world, flapping to fly past deadly traps and obstacles.
Badland is an award-winning atmospheric side-scrolling action adventure platformer developed by Frogmind and brought to the web by GamePix . Set in a gorgeous forest that feels straight out of a fairy tale—yet something is terribly wrong—you control one of the forest dwellers to uncover what's going on .
The game's signature is its innovative physics-based, one-touch gameplay. Holding the left mouse button (or tapping on mobile) makes your creature flap its wings and rise, while releasing lets it descend . The real challenge comes from the screen itself: the left edge acts as a punishing timer, constantly pushing forward. If the screen catches you, it's back to the last checkpoint .
As you progress through over 100 levels, you'll encounter a variety of imaginative traps—spinning saws, falling boulders, lasers, and more . Scattered throughout the levels are power-ups that let you change size, clone yourself, or alter your speed, each introducing new ways to solve the environmental puzzles . The game also features a local multiplayer mode for up to four players, where survival of the fittest is the only rule .
