    MIND = BLOWN

    Honestly, I'm the kind of guy who just loves Leap Day as it is...any additional things you guys add are just icing on the cake.

    I must ask though, if power-ups are implemented, will that introduce any new payment mechanics in the game or will the game remain as is, with the freemium side + the premium unlock?

    @metalcasket if we added power ups I imagine them currently to either be you hit a box like in Mario and get the power up/have the power up come out then collect it. On collecting it its active.

    Or similar to above but on collecting it it is kept in the game hud somewhere to be triggered when you want...more like Mario kart. This could also open up taking them to other levels and getting them as gifts for completing days. Maybe also in an in level shop more zeldaish which in that case would probably make sense to add the option to buy with real money in some way....we put in transactions and ads where they make sense but only if the idea is good that way with it first.

    Of course there could be other combos of this or other ideas that we think up in the time between now and actually doing anything like this.

    It also needs to be considered what power ups would work given there is a one button game. Wings for infinite jump seem obvious. Possibly auto shooting or shooting on jump for some things might work.

    Fruit magnet. One segment skip. Invincibility. Raccoon suit (does nothing, but because reasons). Spear Head (destroy enemies from below). Stick to walls (double edged sword - easier for timing, but can't slide).

    Paid Power Up - earn trophies from a past level (for people who haven't played every day since power-ups)

    Oh god please don't add a bunch of IAP power ups that would ruin this game for me. Love the new update!

    I left a nice and extensive 5 star review on the AppStore. It should appear by tomorrow morning. Thank you for the update Nitrome!

    Wow! That last section was hard, I really loved it! It looks like it's gonna be randomly generated, sounds great. Good work on the beach background too.

    I see a lot of people asking for power ups and I can understand the reason, but I disagree somehow to introduce them. I imagine that for some people would be nice to have some help to finish the level, but in my case I enjoy the amount of fun that the actual difficulty gives to me, so I would avoid any item that makes this "short daily experience" even shorter or easier. Maybe if the game was focused on high scores I could find a reason to look for that help, or maybe if that kind of power ups were changing the gameplay somehow, making the experience richer.

    Otherwise I understand the tendency is not to make ultra hard games anymore, and they would be a great way to monetize the game so I would not complain if they add them ^^.

    Good work guys!

    The "end chuck" was a lot of fun and quite challenging today. I don't really understand how the latest update's endings will be different from earlier, but I do love the continued support for this great app!

    This weekly end boss business has me very intrigued!
    I am picturing a huge boss sticking out from the top of the screen and you climb to "bop" him as he throws junk down at you!
    Or a boss that uses random green (Mario) tunnels to travel and try to bite you and you got to avoid him and occasionally "bop" him too.
    Or a large Frankenstein-Yolk slowly chasing you up the tower and you have to "bop" things to fall on him!
    I would really like to take on that pink "KING" running the whole leap day event! Does this King have a name?
    Looking forward to anything you guys do with this game. My favorite go to mobile game every morning! ###
    P.S. Please add the fruit cup for a year achievement, as I am planning to always get a fruit cup and need the 365 day bragging rights! ##

    Another petition:

    What about a way to mark our favorite levels? I've played across a bunch of really cool ones I would love to play again several times but I can't find them.

    Thanks!

    Lots of new traps coming to Leapday soon :)

    Btw Sorry for the screen grab. I'm not at a computer and Touch Acades upload image system ignores the cropping of images on my phone :(

    One minute left in today... But I finally have a chance to say that today's end zone was first one I struggled with. I should hurry up and submit this before it becomes irrelevant

    Is there any point in completing previous days?

    Have to watch over 60 adverts and there isn't any reward for doing them?

    Love the game!

    Of course! The reward is all the amount of fun and happiness you will have completing them. :D

    Yeah I found it pretty easy actually.

    Ending isn't that bad. One you understand how it works it won't take you long.

    I beat today's too, the end zone was pretty easy once I realized you just jump through the first small right opening.
    Got it done with the new Solder_26!
