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. 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. 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 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. For what it is 2D platformer: 7/10 Overall: 7/10 … Expand 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. I loved watching the story unfold, and the pay off was worth the 2 hour journey to the credits. That being said I still loved mindlessly playing through this game. They honestly feel like LittleBigPlanet community creations.

The game feels almost like a dumbed down version of Super Meatboy, Limbo, Rayman, and Sonic The Hedgehog all mixed together. Thrown at you are super simple physics based puzzles, obstacles, and falling sections that are really just there. You spend the game following your gold, trying to reclaim your fortune.

Checkpoints are almost instantaneous which leads to a very casual experience. 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. This feels very much like a beginners platformer. 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.
