About the Game

Welcome to Meander Land!

In a world torn by war and strife, it's up to cartographer Corylus Flint to chart out what remains! However, when he crash lands on the mysterious island of Khnumia, he must find a way to escape and continue his life's work!

Along the way he meets a variety of quirky allies and diabolical foes, though the line between the two can be blurry...

The Game

Meander Land is a short-and-sweet 2D platformer inspired by the monochromatic handheld games of the late 80's and early 90's. In it, you play as Corylus Flint, a young man armed with a bottlecap gun and his wits! Your overall goal in each stage is to battle the enemies along your path and reach the door at the end. 

Features And Mechanics:

  • Run-And-Jump your way through 12 stages, plus a few alternate paths!

  • Make your way past enemies and face off against three diabolical bosses!

  • Collect bottlecaps scattered throughout each level and fire them from your trusty bottlecap gun to defeat tricky enemies!

  • Unleash the power of the Coyote Jump: press the jump button at any point after running off a ledge for a mid-air boost!

  • Jump on enemies' heads to to bounce yourself up to higher places!

The History

In 2013, Super Anjelo Province was released. This game was made to tie the worlds of the Super Anjelo Land and (what would become) Meander Forth together. Over time, however, the creative vision for the two games shifted, leaving Province a bit of an orphan project.

For the game's 10-year anniversary, Super Anjelo Province was remastered into Meander land. This updated version features a rewritten story, new original characters, a new soundtrack, and a myriad of other tweaks and improvements!

Improvements

  • Tweaked gameplay with tighter controls 

  • Original soundtrack composed by developer WhiskerFjords

  • New characters and cutscenes 

  • Over 80 four-color palettes to choose from

  • Native gamepad support and custom keyboard controls

  • Integer screen sizes and better fullscreen support
