Leap Year

This Game is a Masterpiece! The puzzle design is so deeply thought through! It is complex, and it doesn't break apart with so many movement abilities. And also, there are no Softlocks! Not even in a form of having to die to a spike to continue progressing, there is always a way out, alive. And I am not even talking about the March DLC, yet (Check my March DLC Review), which is a whole other game! Even bigger that the base Game. For those who are looking for a challenge or want to 100% the game (Luckily I am both of them).

The reason that I don't like this puzzle platformer is that it has a sort of reverse game design. Basically you are VERY limited in what you can do as the player. For starters you need to collect numbers in a very linear sequence. Then it fills the game with ideas that are of the "I gotcha" school of game design. Usually you get abilities and then you test how far you can get with it. That's much more intuitive then limiting the players abilities and the letting them guess what ideas you have had. This becomes clear when the game starts painting the solutions to its "puzzles" on the walls of the world. Because when the game doesn't do it you often have to make large circles around the entire map to retry the last jump or attempt to reach a certain number. Its just to tedious to be fun. The two hours that it cites as playtime seems measured by the designer himself then the playtime of actual players that need to find everything out themselves. Its not fun.

7/10，作为一个知识锁类型游戏，看起来毫无文字或者路径引导，但是隐藏引导是做的非常好的（是我玩过的知识锁类型里可以排到数一数二的了），地图美术风格很简陋的样子，却有很多小巧思，对发现规则是非常有帮助的。从1-28的难度曲线都很正常，不过没有小地图对我来说真的很不友好，我记忆力很差有时候总会忘记要去的地方在哪里（迷路了好几次）；二是本体一周目时间算很短的了，要不是最后29的跳跳乐难度突然一个提升感觉不到两个小时可以玩完（这种跳跃方式对我这个头脑简单的笨蛋来说不太能很好地反应过来）。建议打折购入，玩起来不费脑子很轻松一部游戏，dlc看到有人说会难一些也会玩的久一些，但还是不打算购入了。

Pretty fun game for what it was. When coming in I didn't expect much- just thought it would be funny if I owned Leap Year given my name, but I actually really enjoyed my time. :D

远比看上去的要复杂，我不看攻略真能卡一辈子，难度曲线有丢丢不平滑

A very short and somewhat fun platformer. I don't think the jumping physics make any sense though. I got it thrown in with a games bundle, I wouldn't have paid for it separately.
