The title, which is coming to iOS, is compatible with physical controllers (I used one made by Steelseries). Given the precise, physics-based platforming, having the tactile input mechanism is important.<br /><br />Leo can jump and float to the ground, or propel himself downward. These simple options, in combination with Leo&#39;s ability to stick to looping pathways make for enjoyable moments that borrow a bit from Sonic&#39;s classic 2D adventures (without the excessive speed).</p> <p>(Please visit the site to view this media)</p> <p>Leo&#39;s Fortune is fully voiced, with lush art and some tricky level design. As I was admiring the beautiful backdrops and rolling through Leo&#39;s adventure, I learned that the title is being developed by a team of three. I&#39;ve seen far less impressive endeavors from much larger teams.</p> <p>Leo&#39;s Fortune is not designed to be a meat grinder, but players should expect to run into spikes and fall of cliffs as they get the hang of things. The penalty for perishing isn&#39;t severe, though. 1337 has done a smart job of creating checkpoints that send you back only as far as the hazard that killed you.<br /><br />As Leo progresses on his journey, following the trail of golden breadcrumbs, he&#39;ll unravel the mystery of who stole his fortune. His suspects? Leopold&#39;s equally adorable family members. The adventure will take players through five different regions and a variety of scenery, including a mine and a rainy mansion. We&#39;ll find out who robbed the adorably mustachioed main character when the title arrives in April.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.gameinformer.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=6700338" width="1" height="1">Leo's FortuneTilting Point1337 Game DesignPlatformingLeo&#39;s FortunePreviewiOS
