Cosmic Leap

Cosmic Leap is an action platformer in which players have to jump from planet to another in order to reach the spaceship.

Cosmic Leap is developed by a single guy, Cosmic Leap, and the game is practically the definition of an indie title. This means that it has a simple idea which has been implemented in the gameplay, and the developer has only extrapolated what he can do with it.

It often happens for developers to many some games overly complicated, even if they started their game from a very simple idea. In the case of Cosmic Leap, it’s about a character jumping from one planet to another to reach a spaceship. It doesn’t get any easier than that, even if the players will find that the game is getting increasingly difficult.

The game has no story and it doesn’t really need one. After all, it’s about a guy jumping from one player to another to get to the ship. What more could you possibly need as motivation?

The gameplay itself is deceptively simple. In theory, you just run around the planet, and double jump when you’re close enough to the second one. There is a bit of gravity, and you will have top take that into consideration.

The first levels are easy enough, and you just have to time your jump correctly, but things get increasingly more difficult after that. All sorts of obstacles are going to be placed in your way, and you will have to either jump over them or time the original jump, so you don’t have to.

The demo just has very few levels so you won’t encounter any major problems, but the developer has some pretty interesting challenges for the rest of the levels in the full game. There are space ships attacking, moving planets, black holes, and much more.

The engine being used for Cosmic Leap is Unity, so users won’t need to have really powerful machines to play it. In fact, if you have a PC build in the past five years or more it will most likely work without any problems.
