Legbreaker: A Challenging Platformer with a Unique Premise
Legbreaker is a free puzzle game developed by Azaan Lambkin. This side-scrolling platformer game puts you in the shoes of a kidnapped test subject who gains the ability to jump great distances thanks to an experimental serum. However, using this ability comes at a cost - one of your legs breaks every time you use it. With its unique mechanic and clever puzzles, Legbreaker offers a fun and challenging gameplay experience for fans of retro 2D platformers.
In Legbreaker, you play as a captive test subject with increased leg power, allowing you to leap to great heights. However, you must carefully plan your moves due to the risk of breaking your leg. The game features an easy-to-learn control scheme, with options to use either the W, A, S, and D keys or the arrow keys to move your character. Special jumps and dialogue progression are triggered by the Spacebar, and the game can be paused using the P or Esc keys. Pressing the R key restarts the level.
As you progress through each level, the puzzles become more complex, challenging your problem-solving skills with traps and interactable objects. However, the game does have some areas that could be improved. The movement feels a bit janky, and there is no way to control your jumps, making it difficult to gauge distances accurately.
Despite these drawbacks, Legbreaker's unique premise and challenging gameplay make it a recommended choice for fans of 2D platformers. If you're looking for a game that offers a nice bit of challenge and keeps you thinking, Legbreaker is worth a try.
