Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Frequently there are bugs throughout the game, such as if you get launched through the yellow cannon thing, many times we would have to restart because it would not be strong, and when we jump out just be a regular jump. Overall good game should make more challenges.
This game has incredible visuals and does a good job at actually being hard and making people rage at the game. The developers did a great job with this game since it actually has us hooked up to it.
The game is pretty good though there is a lot of ads.
Its a really good game but we found a glitch we dose not ruin the game but it's just there in the snow levels if you sled on ice and bump into a icy wall it make a transparent mark around the characters neck we did with the character lick and the level is July 1st 2025 in the 8th section.
This game is soooooo good and we've beaten like 500 levels. PLEASE update it!!! Also buff Hard Boiled because we had to beat 450 levels for Yolk with an extra hit point.
We love the charm of this game, the 2nd one doesnt seem as good tbh.
We love this game we play it all the time but can we please have a new update with new enemies and maybe new themes? We understand a lot of work goes into these games but just something to consider for us that play daily.
We remember playing this game in 2014 (we think) and playing it now gives us way too much nostalgia. PLEASE give VIP on May 11 to show when you made this prepossessing piece of art.
The ads actually take up time on your play through of the level witch means speed runs need to be deathless from the start.
Addicting. What else can we say.
Fav game but make more updates.
Leap day is the best game we have ever had now dont get us Twisted we like the game but this might sound crazy but level are great so if you are looking for a good game you should choose leap day.
We dont ever write reviews. We are known amongst friends as someone who plays every phone game there is. We have truly played every single popular phone game that has ever existed since 2012. This game is up there with the big boys. Yes there are ads, but guess what? Its like $3 to get rid of them and we are telling you it is worth the 3 whole dollars. The devs release a new level every day and each one almost has a completely different theme, each day has a completely new feel to it and they are truly challenging. We find ourselves completing the daily level every single day and then after we complete it we go back to ones we have never played before just to get more. Im telling you, this game is super cool.
Ive been playing this game since it first came out, we have every single character and also bought the VIP pass. Every 4 years on leap day, we log in to see what the special unique level is, and this year to our surprise, there was nothing. Just the same as any other level any other day. We were very disappointed to see that todays level was nothing like the one on leap day 2020, a boss fight against the king. Our question is did the developers stop making the level on leap day unique? We mean its the name of the game so we thought something special would happen in game today. But to our surprise, nothing :(.
We heard about this game before while watching a video about cancelled Sonic projects and that got us to download leap day, and Ive been having fun on it. All the other games we had are just plain, but this game is truly our favorite.
Its great to have a new level every day but what could make this game great is DLC that lets you make you own maps. Think about it.
The game was made by Your_Local_Yolk And we will have fun with without ads like geometry dash for example that doesnt have ads. So Your_Local_Yolk if there is ads in the game please delete them in a future update! By Borigamer.
We love this game but we feel like once you get most of the characters and just all the way to the top a few times theres not much replay value Its very fun theres absolutely nothing wrong just missing some replay value.
Its so unique and pretty darn addicting.
The game is way to annoying maybe make no adds and a little more easier we don't know who came up with the idea to make kids cry because how hard it is but every thing is great games at lease really fun to play.
Its the Jets game we have its like the only one we need we play it everyday but one day we were playing it and we came across this VERY INAPPROPRIATE AD please take some ads down we couldnt catch the name but we wanna recommend it to our 8 year old sister but we dont want her to see the inappropriate side of the ads so check please the ads you have in this game.
Leap day is a great game it is challenging but so fun we got gold trophy with all fruit.So if we can do it the game is not hard.
Leap day is a great game, gives us pizza tower vibes, but thats just how we like it, play the game! Did you do it.
Ive been playing for 7 years please add them to make it competitive.
We have been playing this game for years, starting when we were in high school and now Im a junior in college! There is a new level everyday and its the perfect combination of challenging and fun.
Amazing beautiful game, just a disclaimer for the editors and such, some of the enemies spawn out of order, and some just don't load in properly.
One of the few really exceptional mobile games doesnt try to do too much or too little. Simple yet has plenty to do. Honestly we love playing the game and our only complaint is all the ads but how else do you expect them to make money.
While we really enjoy the game, it gives you frequent ads that count against your time, and after youve died itll sometimes randomly close the tab. Other times, the character youve equipped doesnt properly perform their abilities (this only applies to the characters WITH abilities).
Even though there might us a glitch once or twice its very rare to see a game that is not only fun to play but isnt filled with ads. We keep coming back for new level and content. One of the best mobile games Ive played not made by a giant company.
Love it great graphics gets boring fast we need more content please.
We love this game. We play it nearly every day. We just got a new phone and it was one of the first apps we downloaded. BUT Ive been having an issue – some of the canons fire backwards and we are literally unable to complete todays (11/10/22) level. We never had this issue on previous versions until we downloaded it on this phone (we had a Samsung before this but we hadnt updated it in months so we are unsure if the Apple version is the issue or if it was an update).
Occasionally challenging. Unique. Fun. Rewarding.
Ive been playing this game since high school and now Im about to graduate college! It has always surprises us with something fun, new, and challenging but not too challenging! You should definitely give it a try.
Im trying to get every achievement and we have most except for fruit salad golden mile and also 1st gold why not pls give.
This game is the beeeesssttt. Like seriously what in the world. Good job guys. Best job. Ive been playing this game on and off for about 2 years but it got pretty serious January 1st, 2022. We needed to do something big. Our new years resolution was to win every. Single. Day. On leap day. Ive kept up with it pretty good. This game called to us. Its the only game ive ever played that we could play literally forever. Its been about 245 days, and we have 120 days to go. We are up for the challenge. We have improved greatly in our leaping skills. We went from 45 minute days to 4 minute days. Hopefully leap day will make a character dedicated to us because we are their most dedicated player. Cuz we are. Preferably a red themed charactermaybe like a fire vibe w like a fire tongue to grab fruits like lick (our fav character atm). Maybe named ruby? And maybe u guys could release it on new years as a celebration for our hard work? Ill leave that up to u guys. That would be pretty we sweet. We leave u all with this, Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?" "No." "we thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis… Was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians… To create… Life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about… From dying." "He could actually… Save people from death?" "The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities… Some consider to be unnatural." "Wh What happened to him?" "He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was… Losing his power. Which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself." "Is it possible to learn this power?" "Not from a Jedi. -darth sidious and anakin skywalker u guys r the best. We love u all. -leap days favorite leaper <3 #maketherubycharacter.
4 thumbs up are you kidding us we love it sooooooooooooo much we couldn't stop playing it totally recommend this awesomely awesome game so great.
But recently lick has stopped working right his tongue is not doing the grapple effect and its been happening for a while was wondering if this is was going to get fixed.
Its a great game its just that one day we logged on and lost all of our progress.
So we really like this game love it just wanted to say there is a glitch with luck if you you get to the top when you die sometimes it will teleport you to where the tongue was and not where the checkpoint was. Love the game keep up the great work.
We love the game. We play it every day. We think they should make a leap day unlimited where its an endless world which goes through boss levels every 15 checkpoints and switch the terrain after the boss level. That would be fun. But still, the game rules.
We like playing the game and like the characters it has. We like the game mechanics and the way the game has different levels each day. We think the game should add a playground more where you can create your own level. This can either be free or come with the vip subscription.
Awesome game and other games by this producer are fun but they need more stuff to do (arcade mode, stage builder).
Some things are a little buggy but you can do pretty much anything that the game advertises for free (granted you play a lot).
This game is so good, but there are so many annoying little bugs that will instantly get you killed or just crash the game. We have been playing this game for years and years now and the yellow cannons still dont always shoot correctly and can take us completely out of levels and some power ups just dont work sometimes.
We love the parkour and stuff, its a unique concept having a new level everyday! But, we think others can agree that it is too difficult. Some parts are extremely easy but others are just impossible. We dont really like when the difficulty changes so much. We think it is super unique, but cant there be an easier mode, or something to make it easier? We don't know, but great game.
Ive been playing leap day for YEARS at this point. We love this game so much. The only thing is that when we use those cannon things, they ALWAYS bug and send us in the opposite direction. That being said, we love how the levels range in difficulty. We do like a challenge. There are some bugs we think should be fixed. Otherwise, great game.
The leap day intermission is burned into our retinas because of how often ads play.
Have been playing this game for years and highly recommend. Just bummed that they didnt do anything for this leap day like they did last time. Guessing it means the game is dead but Ill continue to play.
Our ear drums explode every time we load up the game.
Dont get us wrong, its a fun game, ads are not a problem. BUT! We cannot express the amount of frustration we have when Im having a good run and a partially unskippable ad plays and it the run time is still going. Please if this is fixable, it would be greatly appreciated.
