Leap by Franklin Burnett

You stand at the bottom of a pit, a lone figure... Above you, only ledges, cliffs, and the long, punishing climb to the summit.  With a single Leap, you begin your ascent.

About the Game

...you Leap...

You stand at the bottom of a pit, a lone figure... Above you, only ledges, cliffs, and the long, punishing climb to the summit.  With a single Leap, you begin your ascent.

...you Leap...

Every Leap is a decision.  Every Leap is a chance at progress.  Every fall… is a lesson in despair.  No mercy.  Just you, gravity, and the relentless pull of failure.  One misplaced Leap, and you plummet—losing minutes, hours, maybe even your sanity.

...you Leap...

Like Sisyphus condemned to roll his boulder, you will climb again and again, knowing the pit owes you nothing.  Yet something within you refuses to quit. Is it hope?  Stubbornness?  Or just madness creeping in?

...you Leap...

Gameplay:

-High Stakes Platforming!
The higher you climb, the closer to victory.  But also the farther you will fall!

-Simple Controls!
Hold Space to charge and then release it to LEAP.

-Think Before you LEAP!
Every LEAP requires much patience and thought, DON'T RUSH IT! Or you will certainly fall back to the bottom...

Features:

LEAP is a simple to control game where you climb to the top only by LEAPing into the air.

  • The higher you jump, the harder you fall

  • You can enable checkpoints, which you can teleport back to.

  • Extremely difficult but addictive gameplay

  • 50 brutal floors.

  • Built in speed running timer

  • Practice mode.

  • NO annoying music or sfx at all so you can listen to your favorite music and LOCK IN!
