Blacky Bird

A visually pretty mobile platformer, where you try to save as many clones of yourself as possible, navigating through narrow tunnels and treacherous environments filled with sawblades and other obstacles.

You can change your abilities and physical attributes via power-ups and sometimes have to sacrifice some of you clones to do a task that can save the lives of the others.

P.S: Saw this one is also on Steam, might replay it on PC someday.

Okayland

This is a platformer in which you're a flappy bird who has to fly through obstacles while trying to bring along clones. It isn't bad or anything but i quickly grew bored with it.

The beauty of simplicity

Wow, I never thought I would love this hidden gem so much. I guess I got it for free at some point on PlayStation Plus, and randomly decided to give it a try. I couldn't be more happy to do that. This game has the best physics I have ever experienced in a game. So on point! Everything moved the …

Wow, I never thought I would love this hidden gem so much. I guess I got it for free at some point on PlayStation Plus, and randomly decided to give it a try. I couldn't be more happy to do that. This game has the best physics I have ever experienced in a game. So on point! Everything moved the way it is supposed to. Never found a single glitch. Although there is no music, the ambient sound is very fitting with the dark atmosphere. The best part is that the levels were challenging, but not a nightmare to complete (except for one...). This is a game that anyone, from any gaming background, can pick up and play, and it is super entertaining. If you can get to play it with someone on couch coop, you're gonna have a blast.

A fun game to play with friends

This game is like playing flappybird with a physics engine and adding dozens of gravity and portal mechanics

to make complex puzzles. The art style is amazing and theres even some sountrack in this game.

It does get boring quickly but for its low price, its totally worth it.

Stunningly beautiful. The art direction for this game is exceptional. The gameplay feels very similar to Jetpack Joyride, but Badland took the concept a step further. Where Jetpack Joyride is a simple, high-score based casual game, Badland is more like an adventure, with multiple worlds and levels. In that sense, it's more like World of Goo or Contre Jour. They …

Stunningly beautiful. The art direction for this game is exceptional. The gameplay feels very similar to Jetpack Joyride, but Badland took the concept a step further. Where Jetpack Joyride is a simple, high-score based casual game, Badland is more like an adventure, with multiple worlds and levels. In that sense, it's more like World of Goo or Contre Jour. They take a casual game mechanic, but wrap it into something larger. It's a fantastic technique for a mobile platform like the iPad. World of Goo had a very distinct narrative between levels. It's less pronounced in Badland, more abstract. But the abstract story is in perfect harmony with the abstract visuals, and the whole thing works. I found the puzzles to be just hard enough to be challenging, but not frustrating. And they increased in difficulty at just the right pace. Really enjoyed this game, and look forward to the additional levels they'll be adding. Highly recommended.
