The obstacles themselves might not win any prizes for originality – you push blocks, use timing to negotiate falling traps and leap spikes – staples of any good platformer. ![]() Skill and patience is a must, Leo can feel a little floaty to control, particularly initially, but you’re at least afforded an essential meter to show the speed you’re applying to his directional movement – as well as forgiving checkpoints – to help avoid the trickier puzzles becoming frustrating. To navigate the levels you’re going to need good timing and precise control of the intrepid explorer that is Leo.Ĭontrolling Leo is intuitive on a touch screen, with the left half of the screen being used for directional controls, and the right for inflating or deflating Leo, allowing him to glide gracefully between spikes, or to squeeze carefully between narrow gaps. The levels themselves are inventively created, starting off fairly simple to negotiate, before the latter levels crank up the difficulty significantly, but importantly, without it ever feeling unfair when you skewer yourself on one of the many traps. The cutscenes feature a simplistic greyscale colour, with Leo narrating in his bizarre Eastern European accent (think Borat meets Aleksandr the Meerkat), which contrasts nicely with the beautifully colourful levels you’re given to explore. The story is slight, yet effective in providing background to the globe-trotting adventure. Leo has lost his fortune, and it’s up to us, the player, to recover it, whilst uncovering the culprit behind the treasures mysterious disappearance. Recently named Apple’s Game of the Year Runner-Up (missing out to the excellent Threes), Leo’s Fortune is a gem of a platformer, and without a doubt the best game featuring a moustachioed ball of fluff ever made.
