It'll be for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and will be a free to download game. http://leapyup.wix.com/leapyup <-- for SCREENSHOTS of game UNLOCKABLES -Reach specific high scores to unlock different color character skins including a special character at the highest unlockable high score. -Unlock 4 save points so you don't have to start from beginning unless you choose to.

7MTNLFYR3J4F thank you. I've had a quick a play and I'm not sure what I'm doing, I'll keep trying but the second I tap the dude flys of to the side extremely fast and it's game over. Am I supposed to be going up through the gaps? Or landing on the grass platforms? Im sure I'll get it eventually.
Hello, cloudpuff. Thank you for trying out my app. You're supposed to land on the grass leaps and then jump onto the next grass leap and avoid the moving spiky beams. I created the game myself and had nobody to help me test it so I kept making it harder, that's why it's fast. Since I played it so often, to me it feels easy. So your suggestion is I slow down the speed of the character moving left/right? Which iPhone are you using or iPad or iPod Touch? You should tap the right or left side of screen to change directions. It's not just a single tap anywhere on screen.
Thank you. I'll try again # I was trying to aim for the gap in the logs to pass through, no wonder I found it difficult lol. I'm using an iPad mini1 The speed might not be to fast, I'll give it another go in the morning and let ya know how I get on. #
XAWNYEYA7RJN thank you Dev; If you had not wrote how to play to cloud puff, I would not have been able to figure it out either. I managed to be able to land on a grass thing once so I kind of understand the concept. I do believe it is to hard right now. I feel like if you are introducing a new concept in game play it needs to start out a bit easy so the player can understand it. I would suggest to start out slower then speed up. Right now, although I did manage to land, when I tap, the character does a quick swipe to the right or left and it seems impossible to land. Almost like there's not enough time to land. When I did land, I hit the moving logs immediately. Do not be discouraged. For a first game, it looks great. How many devs can say they've figured out an original their first time? My suggestions: Slow it down When the character lands on the moving grassy platform, let it stop there instead of bouncing off. The challenge could be to get through those moving obstacles. As the game progresses, the character would have to jump off sooner or the platform could disappear....or??... You could choose to have two levels. An easy or tutorial level or casual play. Ie: slow. Obstacles don't move. No limit on how long the character stays on a platform...... And; A 2nd hardcore level. Mostly like you have it now. This could actually make the game available for more people to play including kids and the elderly and just casual gamers looking for a good time waster. Have a few ads that are not too obnoxious. Maybe some pop up ones but not timed video ones. ( they are so frustrating!) add 1 iap for ad removal. There are those that want to support the developer and this is a great way to do it. And; you also make the game available for those that don't care about ads and would never purchase the iap anyways. Have different characters that the player can earn. Add gems or coins throughout the game that the player can get by leaping over them as they play. Use this in game currency to 'purchase' the new characters or outfits. If you really wanted to, you could offer volunteer video ads. The player would not be obligated to watch any of the ads. But, if they did, they would get 'paid' with in game currency to help with purchasing the extras sooner and although not much, you'd get a little extra too, to go towards your App Store fees. (((- Edit: I read in your post that there are unlockable characters or skins. I would still suggest being able to earn them with in game earned currency. With how hard the game is, the player may never be able to see the unlockables if it is based on score.))) Good luck to you. There's a lot of potential here! Edit: I re-read your 1st post. You wrote that you want to know what device we are using. (Sorry) I am playing on an IPad Air. Update: 8.3
I agree with lav. I managed to land on the grass several times but it jumps straight off and hits the logs every time, it kind of feels like I have no control over that, since I can't seem to be able to land on the grass anywhere other than the lower left of the screen, and because I can't control when or the angle he leaps off the platform he hits the logs. I like Lavenders suggestion of having him wait on the platform until the player wants him to jump off. The building up speed as youngonsounds great too, it'll give the player enough of a chance to get the controls etc and then build up to super fast the higher you get. I think with a bit of balancing then the game will be lots of fun and addicting,
It's really fast, I think you should slow it down for the first few levels and then bring it up to speed later on. Add a more detailed instruction on game like objective because I was confused in the beginning.
I wrote in this post in INSTRUCTIONS TO PLAY to tap on right or left side of screen to change directions. I guess people didn't read that part. But that's alright, I appreciate your suggestions and will work on them. Thanks again for trying Leapy Up.
Lavender, I very much appreciate your suggestions and will definitely work on them. The reason why it's so hard to start for many people is because I worked on the app myself and tested it myself. I guess once you make a game and you play it so many times that to the developer it's easy. So I kept making it harder because I couldn't tell. But thanks for telling me the character moves too fast. I will slow it down. In fact, I'll take all your suggestions into consideration. Again, thank you for your feedback, I'm glad I didn't release the game into app store right away and asked for user feedback first.
cloudpuff, thanks for playing Leapy Up and thank you for providing the much needed feedback. Seems like everyone is saying the same thing, that the character is moving too fast, I'll slow it down and I'll work on everyone's suggestions.
