BADLAND is coming to Android and BlackBerry 10!

We have great news for all Android and BlackBerry 10 users! BADLAND is coming to both of these platforms! Check out these fresh videos running BADLAND on Google Nexus 7 and BlackBerry Z10:

If you want to try these out, the guy behind BADLAND’s audio, Joonas Turner, will be at PAX in Seattle this weekend in PAX 10 BADLAND booth with Google Nexus 7, BlackBerry Z10 and of course iPad available running the game. Come and say hi to him! :)

So, when is it coming?

Our best answer at the moment is “soon” or “as soon as they are done”. There’s still work to do. We want BADLAND to be as good gaming experience on Android and BlackBerry 10 as it is now on iOS. We’ll let you know about release dates as soon as we know.

Also, celebrating our PAX presence, the game is now limited time 50% off on App Store!

Multiplayer Update #2 now available!

Another free BADLAND update went just live! This time we focused on the multiplayer and brought four new multiplayer levels.

Also, big thanks to you, our awesome fans, for great improvement ideas! We listened to you and implemented a bunch of those. For example, this update improves the single player experience so that you do not have to restart an unfinished level even if you have killed the app. In addition, after you have finished all the levels there are currently available, the game now remembers which was the last Day and time of day you played. We are so glad to you give us feedback so we can improve the game.

The update is completely free so just go to App Store and download the update:

We hope you enjoy the new multiplayer levels and improvements as much as we do! Again, feel free to give us any feedback in the comments or by contacting us straight through the contact from in http://www.badlandgame.com/about/

So many reasons to celebrate. First of all, we have got so much positive feedback from you (200 000+) players about BADLAND that it is completely overwhelming. Thank you so much! Also, we got the ultimate award from Apple by receiving the Apple Design Award in WWDC last week! The trophy is so cool! Here's a picture taken in the same evening in Johannes' hotel room in San Francisco: (btw, it glows when you touch it, so it wasn't the best possible companion to sleep with ;)

In addition, it's now midsummer in the Northern Hemisphere and here in Finland the sun never actually properly sets. Here's a fresh photo taken in the late evening (~11 pm) here in Finland. Very lovely time of the year.

“Undoubtedly the best game I've ever bought: the Decadent and magical atmosphere is spectacularly breathtaking, while the gameplay is simple and at the same time highly competitive. My addiction to it is such that I'm even dreaming about it at night! :)”

That's just awesome. Thank you all! :)

First BADLAND update is here!

Today is a historic day for Frogmind and BADLAND. :) We just released our first update! At the very beginning when we started developing BADLAND we wanted to make a game that has a great potential for expanding. Our mission is to bring new content regularly. We have lots of ideas and stuff that we want to experiment so you can always expect something new when the update is released. In this current update we fixed some bugs and made some small adjustments and most importantly added four new multiplayer levels! Our next update on May will be huge, it will begin the Day II.

This is what's new:
– Four new multiplayer levels!
– The level result screen now always animates the completed missions in the current session
– Fixed Apparatus level's bigger power-up placement
– Small bug fixes

Here's a picture from one of the new multiplayer levels, ROULETTE:
