Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
As a 50-year-old this is a great game. The concept is simple. The artwork is beautiful. The action of the game is both funny and disturbing as you try to get at least one of your brothers through a gauntlet.
This game is so good we need level editor.
Got it for our steam deck and phone. Love the look and feel of this game. Im hooked.
We used to play this when we were little, nice game.
2 Years Every level done Personally unbeatable times This is it, Ive done it all. Am we proud? Yes Was it worth it? Yes Is it worth the money? Yes.
We really like this game and the challenges in it. The graphics are cool as well! But on online, the textures for time trial and survival are swapped. We also want a level editor like the first game. If that happens, we may come to this game as much as the first game. But overall, great game.
The game is great. Beautiful visuals, smooth gameplay, just really really fun. We have no complaints <3 this is what a true premium game looks like. We miss these kind of games in the AppStore nowadays.
This game takes everything we didnt like about the first game and makes it better like the movement. They improved it and made it better.
Game is great and very atmospheric. Its definitely worth the 99 cents. The only issue we have with it is the lack of content. Game does feel somewhat short and replay-ability isnt as warranted unless you really want to go for all the achievements. Unfortunately as of the time Im writing this the online servers have been taken down which is a shame as that was one of the fun activities left. Overall would still recommend purchasing and playing through.
Great game, but every time we put in our nickname online and click go it tells us that it wasnt able to connect to the server – no loading, no freezing, just instant denial. We have great connection, thank you very much! Fix our game please.
We thought it would be more harder puzzles because you can go back and forth but also straight up, although the place is really cool there is not that many puzzles. Maybe we will change our review.
Ugghhh how do we play this game? Do we try to let the furry guy escape? How do we play this game? Please answer this review! We want people to know how to play this game and enjoy it. We suggest adding a how-to-play feature so people can understand how to play. Again, Please answer this review.we know that this is a short reply to the game but we hope that we can learn how to play this game someday. It is cool though.
No way to reset progress to play again.
Controlling the character movement is HORRIBLE. Its ridiculous. Cant even get 1/4 way through the first level. Fun? Not at all. Waste of money? Completely. Am we just bad at games? No.
No adds at ALL it has VERY GREAT graphics and its very challenging which we LIKE its very long and overall we think we deserves 5 stars you should get it.
We love the timeline, but we need a brand new part of the timeline! This new part of the timeline is called darkness. The background is creepy, just like infinity. The only things that can defeat you in this time is frost lasers, saws, and a new death trap, the monstrosity. The 3 monstrosities are dragons, giant horned clones, and ogres. Dragons have the ability to burn you. Giant horned clones can crush you or stab you with one of its horns. Ogres can beat you up with their clubs. At the ending of the final level, there is an ending resolution! All monstrosities die, all lost clones get found, death traps are destroyed, and peace comes back to peaceful badland.
Thank you for making a game that has time in love put into it unlike most games today.
Feels and plays just as well as the original game. Very interesting plot detailed level and a nice challenge. However this game screen is not optimized for the mini 6 unfortunately. The black borders horizontally is huge and for a while we thought the controls were bad then we realized that we kept tapping the huge black borders instead of the screen. That is the only gripe. We ahve not tried out the multiplayer but it looks like it would be fun.
Please pleeeeeeeaaaassse!!!!!!! We would looooovve a badland 3.
We bought this game off of a memory of playing it in an apple store, remembering that we had fun playing it. As soon as we saw it, we bought it and LOVED it. By far the best adventure game on IOS. AWESOME.
The levels are cool. There is BADLAND and now there is the 2nd BADLAND. Which is BADLAND 2. There is more to this game than the first BADLAND. So download this game now.
We beg of you please make a third one.
Super fun, it really expanded from the first one. Very immersive, the online mode is really fun too… Im in the top 100! YEE Anyways would recommend.
We wish developers came out with more games like this! So fun and it takes more than a few days to complete.
The game is wonderful, almost as terrifying as it is beautiful.
This game is terrific, but addicting. Some of the levels are hard, but trying and trying again is part of the appeal.
This game s much better than the first you should get it.
The first one had editor. Why not the second one.the editor was great. It Been years when it came out. We are waiting for the editor why not now.
It is cool. It doesnt just go right, it can also go left. But we would love an level editor just like the first one.
The first game was alright but this game is better.you can now move in any direction.there is even 40 new levels.
Add a level editor though. Will post a better review later.
Badlands two was an enjoyment to play.
We have the first and second BADLAND games. We love this game, and it was worth the money, but we would like Frogmind to put a level editor (and an Eternal Day) in BADLAND 2. Thank you for reading this review.
Great game but it would be if there was a level editor.
This is one of the best games we have we do not regret paying the two dollars we play this game in our spare time and one time we lost track of time and was playing for like three hours its a super addictive game we recommend it to anybody just a suggestion but developer you should make a create your own level mode that be really cool and then you could post it people could try to beat it.
This is a really fun game and not just as a time killer, we cant stop playing it because not only is it fun and different and unique, but it also makes you think.
So good ! It is the best way to keep yourself entertained.
This is the best game we've ever played. Ps. Creators what happened to the land.
If you are a fan of Playdeads INSIDE or LIMBO you will love this game. Very similar atmosphere and side-scrolling mechanics. Gameplay is a mix of puzzle and super-meat boy. We were so glad to see no advertisements or micro transactions in the game: the number of levels and polish makes it completely worth the upfront cost.
In BADLAND 1 you have 4 player but we want 4 player can you add 4 player.
Slick presentation, never boring.
We hate people who hate some of the best games and its not 5$ its 1$ learn to count dumbys.
We are a gamer who loves all kinds of games so Ive seen our fair share of graphics and these are some of the most beautiful graphics Ive ever seen and the graphics give off a calm, quiet, and peaceful tone.
This game is great but we have a few suggestions: 1. Level creator 2. Multiplayer, like a race or something Thank you for making this game P.s. Please take our suggestion into consideration P.p.s This game was amazing P.p.p.s. If u can, make another! P.p.p.p.s Thanks again.
Frogmind, STOP including ads for your new game in a premium game we paid for…we dont want to play or even look at your sellout freemium crap.
SOOO….funny thing is, we had Badland 1, and we really enjoyed it, so we got Badland 2. Now, this was about a year ago, but… One thing though, we got so angry, we pressed our knuckle against the screen while trying to beat a level, and we cracked it. Please dont do what we did. It is still really fun, just frustrating. Let us rephrase that to challenging. But downloaders, BEWARE! LOVE THE APP THOUGH.
This game is super fun and has great graphics. We recommend this game to people who like challenges.
We thing badland2 is more beautiful with level editor, plz update it with level editor.
Its an amazing game and it would be cool with the level editor and a bit of a story to it.
