The characters are also well depicted and you wish you had a mustache as lush as Leopold’s.
Everything, from the backgrounds to the platforms and the traps are all well crafted. Leo’s Fortune is a beautifully designed game. And although there aren’t a lot of levels here, you’ll end up playing them again and again if you want all the stars and gears in the game. The platforming sections were fun and challenging. The frustration with the controls weren’t as significant as it might seem and overall I found myself enjoying the game. Sometimes he’d jump nice and long and sometimes, especially when you have to make a critical jump he’d fall frustratingly short, making you jump several times, not knowing what you’re doing wrong, till you get him on the platform. I also couldn’t figure out the jumping till the end. Often you end up dying a ridiculous number of times because you just can’t get him to move as quickly as you’d want him to. Leo’s movements aren’t as twitchy as you usually expect from characters in these games and he carries a certain amount of inertia, which makes quick movements difficult. Hitting the buttons is one thing but the character movements are a bit sluggish. Thankfully, the game offers you to switch to fixed buttons on the screen, which is the ideal way to play the game, but while the movement controls have a wide touch area the jumping controls are more precise and thus you have to tap precisely on the buttons to jump, not so easy when you are looking at the character above and not at the buttons themselves. This does not work very well and often the controls don’t respond when you want to or you find yourself moving your thumb out of the screen and on to the bezel on the iPad. By default, you slide left and right on the left part of the display to move Leo and up and down on the right side to make him jump up and down, respectively. The overall gameplay relies a lot on quick movements, which is where I found the controls lacking. None of them are particularly difficult but they are fun to do nonetheless. Usually they involved moving some crates around to push a switch or weight down a platform. A poorly timed jump almost always ends in Leo falling to his death. More than skill, you need patience so you can wait and time your jump perfectly. The platforming sections in the game are quite tricky. Finishing the level without dying is quite difficult, however, as is finishing it under the specified time. They are right in your path and impossible to miss. Other than that, there are also some gears scattered through some of the levels that you have to find and collect.Ĭollecting the coins is the easiest part. Accordingly, you get one, two or three stars for the level. One is to collect all the coins, second is to complete without dying and third is to complete it within a certain amount of time. There are twenty levels in total in the game and each level has three optional objectives. Often, you will also have to solve a puzzle to open a door and progress in the game.
Most of the gameplay involves jumping from one platform to another, collecting coins and avoiding traps. This is useful to extend your jump, pressing switches or when you want to stop him falling down a hole by enlarging him. You can press and hold the jump button, which makes Leo expand and float in the air while slowly descending. You can make him jump up and down by the controls on the right side of the screen. You control Leopold, or Leo, by the controls on the left side of the screen.
