"The original Badland offered a concise and elegant design; straying too far from those hallmarks would sacrifice its unusual identity. Frogmind’s sequel walks that line, forgoing multiplayer to present a thoughtful evolution of its previous formula. The resulting 30 levels are devious, varied, and beautiful. Simple controls make for an easy entry point, but mastering the physics-based movement to complete all these challenges is a monumental task."

The sequel to Badland, one of the most impressive, award-winning mobile games of 2013, was released last week to resounding praise from both fans and critics.
