Overview of Beta:

Thank you for testing our BETA VERSION of our game “LEAFBOUND”.

Leaf Bound is a side scrolling game in which the player controls a Ninja name Yuri. The goal is to jump your way to the top, while battling robot monkeys, collecting items, and defeating a boss. The release of the final will feature 8 levels, and a mini-game (maybe) for $1.99 (not final price).

We are nearing the completing the core of our game. We included 2 levels for testing. Level 2 is buggy but the intention is to play through level 1 and load level 2. We will release another beta after input and major revisions.

Developer’s notes: We wanted to make in game in which players can play for a few minutes at the time. Pick up and start whenever. Its not an epic game that takes 3-4 hours to beat. It is for those who simply have 2-3 minutes to spare while waiting; in line, for movie to begin, waiting for food, and the list goes on. We’ve poured countless hours, worked 10-18 hour days for weeks to make this game possible, and we hope to bring better quality, better experience, games to iPhone as we grow our library. It is an honor for us, for you to take part in our BETA Testing Phase–Go ahead and go BANANAS!

Don’t forget to respond back to us with the questionnaire below! Thanks!!

Game Play Instructions

Controls:

Yuri is always jumping so control where she goes by moving your finger side to side. It is best to keep your finger towards the bottom of the screen for visibility.

Enemies:

Bounce off leafs to advance higher into the stage. Stomp on Monkeys to destroy them and watch out for coconuts. You can stomp on the coconuts but don’t let it hit your head!

Graphic Interface:

The bar on the left side indicates how far up in the stage you have to go before completion.
The hearts are how many hit damage you have left.
The 3 circle slots are food items you have collected. Pairing the items in certain combinations will give your character special abilities or power ups.

- Tapping the up or down arrow on the main menu screen rapidly causes the menu to act funky.
