Bottom Line

Leo's Fortune is a beautiful physics-based puzzle-platformer that shines as one of the iPad's best games ever.
  • Pros

    • Creative puzzles.
    • Excellent graphics and sound.
    • Numerous, well-placed checkpoints.
    • No in-app purchases!
  • Cons

    • Repetitive use of some obstacles.

iPad games that have attempted to emulate the platforming action found on consoles, PCs, and handhelds have often fallen short—far short—of their intended goals. Touch controls lack the pinpoint accuracy that hardcore gamers require to navigate challenges. Thankfully, Developer 1337 & Senri understood touch's shortcomings when crafting the Leo's Fortune ($4.99), a gorgeous physics-based iPad puzzle game (also available on iPhone) that manages to avoid many of the control ills that bedevil most mobile platformers.

Story and Gameplay Basics

Leo's Fortune is the tale of a mustachioed fuzzball named Leo who sets off on a journey to discover who has swiped his wealth. Most games' stories are simply an excuse to propel the protagonist forward, but the voice acting in Leo's Fortune is so good that the story actually gives the adventure a welcome gravitas.
