Leo's Fortune
2014 · Platformer
Leo's Fortune is a gorgeous platformer that proves premium mobile games can compete with anything on console or PC when it comes to visual polish. The physics-based controls feel wonderful, the hand-crafted levels are consistently inventive, and the lack of ads or microtransactions means the experience is pure from start to finish. It's over in about two hours, and that brevity stings for a paid game, even at a modest price point. But those two hours contain some of the finest platforming available on a touchscreen, wrapped in visuals that still impress years after release. If you measure games by the quality of their best moments rather than their total runtime, Leo's Fortune punches well above its weight.
