What a beautiful, well-made, absolutely crappy cash grab of a game – Leap Day Review

This game has okay controls and looks very pretty. This is the extent of the compliments I have for this game. Everything else about this crappy, horrible app is made to shove as many ads in your face as possible. Ads are played in-between retries, so the devs clearly set the game up to require players to retry each level as many times as possible, with no regard for user experience. Levels are clearly designed to require pure luck and ridiculous split-second timing, making it impossible to pass a level without retrying at least several dozen times. Enemy hitboxes are horrendous. You will often die without even coming close to touching an enemy. Enemies can spawn exactly where the player is, killing them instantly and with no warning. Enemies/obstacles sometimes fly in from offscreen at unavoidable speeds, killing them instantly and with no warning. Levels often require split-second timing, but at the same time the player’s wall-jump ability only works properly if it is not done quickly. If the player attempts to speed through a wall jump, the game will “glitch” (I doubt it is accidental) and disallow the player from taking their regular double jump. Even when you play a game 100% perfectly and collect every single item, you still will not have enough in-game cash to buy checkpoints, forcing you to watch more ads. I do not suggest that you ever download this app.
