General Information
Welcome to Meander Land!
In a world flooded and broken by war and cataclysm, it is the job of cartographer Corylus Flint to chart out what remains of the land and the people on it in his trusty biplane. When his plane breaks down, however, Corylus is forced to crash-land on Khnumia, a desert island smack-dab in the middle of mafia territory!
There, he meets a motley crew of ferocious beasts, dastardly villains, and even some unlikely friends. Can Corylus escape the island and continue his life's work!?
History
A whopping ten years ago, a fangame known as Super Anjelo Province was released. This game set out to capture the feeling of the classic handheld games that inspired it, right down to the limited pallet and the screen crunch.
For the game's one-decade anniversary, it has been lovingly remastered with new original characters, a new story, and a ton of quality-of-life improvements.
The original version was one of the first games I ever released and the winner of the MFGG forums' game-of-the-month award, so I am proud to present its updated version: Meander Land!
Improvements + Updates

- The gameplay has been tweaked and rebalanced with tighter controls and more forgiving level design. The lives system has also been removed.
