About This Game

Leapin Lads is a surprisingly rich, randomly generated two-button arcade experience.

Conquer every challenge with just two maneuvers: leap one space or leap two. Each leap takes you deeper through vibrant zones teeming with tricky traps, mischievous monsters, and colorful coins. And with randomly generated levels, every run offers new ways to test your skills.

Get into a state of flow as you chain together a series of leaps with mesmerizing rhythm and grace; the game's simple controls becoming an extension of your mind. But beware—one wrong move could spell your demise.
