Frog Mind Games has confirmed that their upcoming, side-scrolling action adventure title for iOS devices Badlands is likely to hit the App Store in March. They've also confirmed that the game will feature four player, same device competitive multiplayer.

The game takes place in a forest and looks absolutely gorgeous. You control a blobby denizen of the woods who has to uncover the deep dark secret that lurks behind the trees. With physics based gameplay and a good dollop of imagination, Badlands is unlike most things you've ever seen.

Throw in the aforementioned four player multiplayer, which lets you take on friends and foes in dangerous races through spike filled forest tracks, and you're left with a package that looks amazing and is packed to the gills with intriguing new ideas.

It's just unfortunate we'll have to wait a couple more months before trying the game out. To cheer you through those barren times though, we've embedded the first footage of the multiplayer in action below.
