Frogmind’s 2013 mobile hit Badland was downloaded more than 30 million times. And today, the Finnish company is launching Badland 2 on iOS as a bigger and badder action-adventure experience.

The new side-scrolling game builds on the original gameplay by making use of Apple’s 3D Touch feature and allowing players to maneuver in all directions. It has the same haunting yet beautiful art style and more variety of characters. And, at $5, it’s also a rare premium game in a land of free-to-play mobile games.
