    Leo’s Fortune
    Mindless Platformer
    Leo’s Fortune is really the first mindless platformer I’ve ever played. I say mindless, because I didn’t feel my brain being engaged even a little. I will give credit to the feel of the game and its platforming, it feels perfect But the platforming is insanely simple, the puzzles are insanely simple and there is hardly any risk. This feels very much    Leo’s Fortune

    Leo’s Fortune is really the first mindless platformer I’ve ever played.
    I say mindless, because I didn’t feel my brain being engaged even a little.

    But the platforming is insanely simple, the puzzles are insanely simple and there is hardly any risk.
    This feels very much like a beginners platformer.
    Leo’s fortune is much like LIMBO in a sense that it’s very much focused on trial and error, not so much with the environment though, but with its platforming.
    Checkpoints are almost instantaneous which leads to a very casual experience.
    Sure the floatiness of the platforming will lead to hundreds of deaths, but
    anyone can get through Leo’s Fortune with no issues.
    Casually going through Leo’s world can be a good thing, but it leads to this experience ultimately feeling unsatisfying.
    The color and art design is beautiful in Leo’s Fortune but I still found the majority of the levels to feel pretty bland.
    Proof that pretty isn’t really enough…
    There’s no real personality to the game or it’s world.
    Leo of course is adorable as a teal blob with a mustache, but you don’t really feel a connection to him or the story going on.
    You spend the game following your gold, trying to reclaim your fortune.
    Thrown at you are super simple physics based puzzles, obstacles, and falling sections that are really just there.
    You’re pushing forward non stop.
    The game feels almost like a dumbed down version of Super Meatboy, Limbo, Rayman, and Sonic The Hedgehog all mixed together.
    There are 20 main levels that take around 5 to 6 minutes each to complete your first time through, and 4 bonus levels that act as mini games.
    These minigames are unlocked by you collecting all of the gold in each level, passing levels without dying, and by speed running them.
    this is where the challenge can set in if you feel as though the game has intrigued you enough to want to replay these levels.
    But like I said, these levels aren’t special.
    They aren’t memorable.
    They honestly feel like LittleBigPlanet community creations.
    That being said I still loved mindlessly playing through this game.
    I loved watching the story unfold, and the pay off was worth the 2 hour journey to the credits.
    Leo’s Fortune is worth a play through for platforming fans that maybe want a break from the stresses of the world, just don’t be surprised if you’re not craving more by the games end.

    Facts:
    1. Mindless platformer
    2. A strived story
    3. Ugly interface

    It's a insult even for past gen an interface like this. Come on, even a child could do better!

    Leo's Fortune is a story that strives to be deep, but even though the bigger picture questions it wants to pose are significant and good, the game fails a bit short in making me care enough to really strike gold. it questions what greed can do to a person's psyche and how it can effect one's personal life, as well as asks the question, what does it really mean to have wealth?

I liked the game's attempts at asking these, and the gameplay is good fun, but the story didn't peak for me sadly. On the gameplay side this is a good physics-based platformer in the same vein as Limbo or Teslagrad, and also has some Sonic or Super Meat Boy speed run features, but is on the lower end of the spectrum of platformers that have been coming out a lot recently that have a very deep story behind it. I would recommend the platformer lover or person with the extra few dollars that wanted to just play through something in one sitting to give this game a shot, but keep expectations tempered, and play the game for the quick, fun levels, which this game excels at.

    Leo's Fortune is still a charming, visually stunning platformer, but it's also a little too short and easy.

    It’s not a bad game at all but it doesn’t do much to differentiate itself from countless other physics-platformers. Because of the visual style and tight controls, it’s a game that doesn’t overstay its welcome and acts as proof that there are mobile games worth your time.

    It's not a must-buy, not even for platformer fans, but it's a cute little game that most people can find some fun with.
