Platformer exudes charm, but it's not incredibly original.

What’s It About?
Leo follows a set trail to recover his fortune, but the game relies on split-second timing to avoid sharp obstacles and to flip switches. Players move him left and right using their left hand at the bottom of the screen and inflate him like a balloon, letting him float in the air for a short period, by pressing up with their right finger on the right side of the screen.
Is It Any Good?
There's an undeniable charm about Leo's Fortune. (That's pretty much a sure thing when the protagonist is a ball of fluff with a mustache and a deep Russian accent.) And that charm carries it a long way. The gameplay, though, offers nothing particularly new. It's a basic platform game and a fairly unimaginative one, at that.
The controls can be frustrating and will give some players trouble (though some will have no issues with them). But the overall polish of the game will keep even frustrated players around longer than most titles are able to. From Leo's comments and detailed facial expressions to certain Sonic-like properties in the game, there's a lot to like. Aside from the hero, though, there's little to love.
