Leap Year is a compact platform puzzle game about exploring a hand-drawn world and collecting the dates needed to complete a calendar. Hidden routes connect its rooms, and the map gradually reveals how its spaces fit together.
You move and jump, but ordinary platforming instincts can be risky: a jump may leave you with a fatal fall. Progress depends on judging landings and finding safe ways through each area.
Rather than gaining upgrades, you advance by learning rules and uses for abilities already available to you. Apply what you discover to reach new paths and gather the remaining calendar pages.
In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the clever map design and the satisfaction of realizing how the movement rules work, with many describing memorable aha moments as new routes and uses for familiar abilities click into place. Some also appreciate the focused, short format and hand-drawn presentation. Others say unclear routes, retracing steps, or slippery movement can interrupt that discovery.
