Survival of the Fittest: Prehistoric Action-Adventure ‘UNGALAND’ Launches Steam Demo and Kickstarter

• Cartoon Chaos: A vibrant, 3rd-person action-platformer set in a reimagined prehistoric world.
• The Primal Seed System: A deep customization mechanic allowing players to slot elemental and reality-bending abilities into weapons.
• Kickstarter Live: Multinational developer MEV.Studio seeks funding to polish core systems and expand the island of Wa-Kabum.
• A Different Kind of Hero: Follow Oogie’s journey to becoming the “brute” his tribe needs, rather than the hero they expected.

The indie scene is heading back to the Stone Age—but with a colorful, “Souls-lite” twist. MEV.Studio has officially announced the launch of its Kickstarter campaign for ‘UNGALAND’, accompanied by a playable prototype demo on Steam. Combining high-speed platforming with strategic combat, the game invites players to explore the mysterious and reactive island of Wa-Kabum.

The Legend of Oogie and the Bunga Tribe

Players step into the loincloth of Oogie, a member of the Bunga tribe. Tasked with a sacred ritual to save his people, Oogie must navigate a world filled with ancient ruins and aggressive wildlife. Unlike traditional prehistoric tales, UNGALAND features a narrative twist: to save his tribe, Oogie must shed his innocent outlook and return as a hardened “brute.”

The environment is a key character itself. The island of Wa-Kabum is designed to be highly reactive, with secrets and rewards tucked away in corners that only the most daring (or reckless) explorers will reach.

Combat Evolution: The Primal Seed System

The standout feature of UNGALAND is its Primal Seed mechanic. These artifacts allow players to “evolve” their combat style on the fly.

• Ability Slotting: Slot seeds directly into weapons to add effects like freezing, teleportation, or even creating localized black holes.
• Strategic Combos: The game encourages experimentation, letting players mix-and-match abilities to find the most efficient way to take down the island’s massive bosses.
• Reflex-Based Action: While the visuals are charmingly cartoonish, the combat demands precision—blocking and dodging are essential to survival against the island’s diverse enemy roster.

A Community-Powered Journey

The Kickstarter funds will be used primarily to solidify the core gameplay loop and build out the main campaign. If the campaign reaches its stretch goals, MEV.Studio plans to add new environments, additional weapon types, and expanded lore challenges.

With its mix of platforming, “brute” combat, and the unpredictable nature of the Primal Seeds, UNGALAND is positioning itself as a fresh, high-energy entry in the 2026 indie calendar.
