★★★★★ 5 stars, but one complaint..
Sun Aug 08 2021 Someone Who Loses PokemonThis game is absolutely amazing! A great game that is similar to the original Leap Day. The mini games you get to play were such a fantastic addition. Speaking of good additions, upgrading characters is SUCH a big improvement because the game gives you the ability to progress your characters, making the gameplay more exciting from your upgrading rewards. Being able to see other people’s level times also makes the gameplay interesting because you get to compete with others to race to the fastest time. One extra thing I like for this game is that if you’re having trouble with one checkpoint on a level, you eventually will get a star superpower for a short time that makes you invincible, hopefully enough to get you through the checkpoint!
My one complaint is that the game sometimes crashes. Sure, you can always get back on the app and respawn on the level you’re on. But as someone who likes to speedrun to the fastest time on levels, it could seriously mess up your time. When you get back on the app, the items you had equipped are always gone. But for casuals just trying to play the game, it’s not much of a big deal.
In conclusion, this game is much better than the original Leap Day because you get mini games, upgradable characters with abilities, and being able to have the fastest time on levels. The crashing complaint isn’t going to stop me from rating 5 stars because it can be fixed. Even if you haven’t played Leap Day before, this game is for you!
★★★★★ One of the BEST mobile platforming games
Sun Jan 30 2022 Zarb EbnerCrazy how simple it is to play such a deep 2D platformer with some of the tightest controls in the whole genre. One button! I really enjoy how this game can be played at anyone’s own pace even though the character auto runs. There are many spots in which you can pause to strategize a new challenge like enemies or spike arrangements, if you’re not going for the fastest time. But if you DO want to up your challenge, attempting to play through a level as fast as you can is also very fun and rewarding.
There are tons of mechanics in this game that I WISH I saw in others of this genre. Nitrome has been honing in this type of formula for years, and Super Leap Day might just be their magnum opus.
Please put the soundtrack up on Apple Music! Someone make that happen ♡ RoBKTA is an incredible composer.
★★★★★ Definitely fun, but I’m 100% uninstalling
Sun Jan 16 2022 CatcussesThis game is super fun, and I loved playing it at first. But, after a few months, I started to become really, really annoyed, by a few specific, but extremely prevalent issues. 1) It’s very easy to get soft locked, and not by anything you do, but by built in game mechanics you have no control over. The fact that using the little yellow guy is half of the time a help, and half the time a hindrance, because using him soft locks you, is so incredibly frustrating. 2) There are some sections that are quite literally impossible to beat, and most of them are in gravity galaxy, to be honest, so the only option is to die however many arbitrary times it takes to get a star to just pass through that section, which takes forever. The days I have to play gravity galaxy are actively not enjoyable, so literally 1 out of every 5 days, I dread playing this game. 3) You can’t start levels over, you have to just beat a level to go back to the beginning, which can be so frustrating, for so many reasons. I like to try and get as high up in the daily rankings as possible, but when you make a little mistake and realize your run needs to start over, but you can’t just press a button, you now need to finish the level, knowing you’ve failed… yeah, that’s super discouraging. In conclusion, I have never in my life simultaneously liked and hated a game as much as I do this one. Unfortunately, it’s gotten too frustrating, and the joy of this game has gotten lost under all the annoyances.
★★★★★ Awesome game with one or two minor frustrating things
Thu Sep 02 2021 BrandroidFrizzleFirst off, this game is pretty awesome. I have been playing Celeste and if you have played it, you’ll know how amazing of a platformer it is. This game has the same feel in some ways. Obviously Celeste is an incredible tour de force but this game nails the platforming action in a really similar satisfying way.
I decided to knock a star off because of a super annoying issue I’ve noticed. The app usually stays in the background and resumes immediately, but if the app closes it simply takes me back to the main menu and I lose ALL the progress on my current level. That’s really frustrating and destroys my motivation to complete all the levels. They are nice long levels and I often can’t finish it all at once. It is really disappointing it resets all level progress when the app reloads. There’s also no good way to see which levels you’ve completed (that I can find).
The second issue is pretty minor but the mini golf game is super lame. The mechanics are weird, the physics are dumb, and it always gives me “beginner” levels even though I’ve completed all of them a few times. That didn’t really affect my rating since I can just ignore them. However there are some really fun golf games (Golf on Mars, What the Golf) and it would be cool if they actually made it fun.
★★★★★ Lovely game, though there are a few bugs that I have noticed
Tue Sep 07 2021 nrosenbe17I love this game! I loved the regular leap day and it’s the one game I can zone out on and consistently play and have fun with. Super leap day definitely has increases the difficulty (especially prior to upgrading the leapers) One bug that I have noticed is specifically on the expert levels of pinball day, some of the portals do not work and show no sign that there is/would be another way to unlock them, I am not sure if this is true or if there are other bugs with the expert levels of gold day and race day. One of the main things that reduced my star level other than what was mentioned prior with the bugs, are any time I enter the golf day, racing day, or pinball day, any power ups I have active or have in my inventory (for lack of a better word) will disappear and I will have to redo that section of the level as well. It seems any progress that you make in that checkpoint section disappears and you have to redo it. I would love to see that fixed! Another thing I was wondering was if there is a place/email or contact information to report bugs. Thanks for making another great game!
★★★★★ Beautiful game (With a couple of small issues)
Fri Jul 08 2022 jrobt32I have had fun playing the first leap day game. Always fun trying to make every day on the calendar 100% completion. Then when I seen this one I had to get it. ITS WORTH GETTING!!! Im giving it 4 stars because of two reasons. 1) when you have the game in your back grown every now and then it will crash or when playing it might freeze up and crash the game. I haven’t ran into it a lot but I have Notice a couple of times now for one of those thing have happened. 2) when you get your gold coins like let’s say you have 15 gold coins. When you complete the level you don’t get all the coins you worked on trying to get. I don’t know if there’s something I’m missing or that’s part of it but I would like it if it gave you exactly what you earned when you gathered them. Other then that this game is by far my favorite and is worth getting to past the time and have fun. Now I can’t wait to try multiplayer. That will be sick to see what that’s going to be like.
★★★★★ Better and easier titles are out there.
Fri Aug 20 2021 MommyLen19I thought this would be a good Apple Arcade title when it released, but turns out, it’s not really that.
The game literally forces you to die and replay the same parts in the level over and over again just so you can get a gold trophy. Take conflict canyon, for example. There are a lot of parts where guards are wandering, and if you get spotted, they try and contain you and kill you immediately. Gravity galaxy is another example. There are too many parts where you have to time jumps right in order to get across things like enemies, spikes, ETC. The actually decent power ups are too rare, like the Shield and star. The Shield only protects for three hits, and if you get crushed even when your star gives you invincibility, you still die. Another bigger problem is that part of the level resetting after you die, meaning you have to do it over and over again repeatedly.
What I am saying is that there are too many hard parts in levels and should be more easier parts in levels. Until then, I’m gonna delete this title until those quality of life improvements are made.
★★★★★ I love it! Just a few problems
Mon Aug 09 2021 nerp05It’s really good and I find the first game to be kinda boring now that I’ve played this. The levels just feel way more involved and creative now. Music is awesome too.
However, the problem is collecting fruit and coins. Unless I play the whole level in one sitting, if I close the game and come back to it later all my collected fruit and coins will be back to zero. I realize fruit isn’t as important this time around but coins are, and either way it’s really fun to collect them both. So it’s annoying when I can’t collect 100% fruit for a level without playing it all at once, and even if I don’t get all the fruit my reward is significantly diminished if they got reset close to the end of the level. I also saw that the game crashes a lot for other people, but it only happened once for me.
