About Leap to the Top+
You are a frog, every second. You can control your movements only while jumping, or charging a super jump. With this simplicity, it takes seconds to learn how to play, but a very long time to fully master each stage.There are seven stages, each with its own unique boss battles and stage mechanics. One stage will have you using switches to open parts of the stage, while opening new threats. Another will be about timing, hiding behind pillars. Each stage takes time to learn and master. Once you beat a stage, look at your time and try to get a better one with your newfound mastery.Every stage outside the final stage has 5 hidden coins to collect for true completion. Some can be gotten with special movements made to teach and test the player, some require going out of the way to get them. Coins are always interesting and fun to collect, and getting all 30 unlocks the final stage.Can you Leap to the Top?
What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
"Leap to the Top+" is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. What's notable about this one is just how bad it is, from the ugly monochrome graphics that probably took less than half an hour to slap together, to the garbage gameplay, and finished off with absolutely awful technical execution. The only differentiator here is that it's one of those platformers where you continually jump, so you need to time your moves between platforms. That's all. This really is just garbage, free 1990's Flash games were better, and those were free, this one, believe it or not, is a paid product. The developer genuinely seems to think he should get paid for this. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tw…8 found this helpful
Leap to the Top, developed and published by Michael Richard Lannon, is a challenging indie platformer that takes a familiar genre and builds an unusual twist around its central mechanic. Instead of giving players complete control over movement, the game places them in the role of a frog that jumps automatically at regular intervals. This seemingly simple idea transforms the entire experience, forcing players to think differently about timing, positioning, and momentum. What initially appears to be a straightforward climbing adventure quickly becomes a demanding test of patience and precision. The game's objective is deceptively simple: ascend through a series of increasingly difficult stages and eventually reach the summit. However, every section introduces new obstacles that require careful planning and execution. Since jumps occur automatically, success depends on learning the rhythm of movement and adapting to the environment rather than relying on reflexive button presses. This creates a unique flow where players must constantly anticipate their next landing spot while avoiding hazards and navigating narrow platforms. The result is a platforming experience that feels both fres…
