Leaping Freddy may look like a cross between Mario Bros. and Lode Runner, but it lacks the tight, addictive gameplay that made those games classics. As Freddy, you roam the castle of an evil wizard, dodging deadly obstacles and collecting diamonds, magic items, and various kinds of junk food. Freddy jumps fairly well, considering his paunch, but he's awfully slow. Just crossing half the screen seems to take an eternity. Luckily, the castle's unfriendly inhabitants aren't much quicker. You'll find an option for adjusting the game speed, but even at its fastest setting it didn't seem to have much effect. The bouncy music is cute, and the graphics are no disgrace, but they're not enough to make up for the sluggish action. Young children might enjoy Leaping Freddy for a while, but serious gamers will want to take a pass.

Jet Set Willy style platformer
deejay169April 8, 2005
Pros
This game reminds me a lot of Jet Set Willy from the speccy. It's a well-made platforming collect-em-up. It has all the classic platform game elements, ladders, spikes, keys, doors, conveyor belts, wierd monsters, etc. The graphics are crisp, look good and animate smoothly.
Cons
The main problem I found with the game was that it was too slow. After realising you've gone the wrong way it's quite a thought to start heading back to get something you missed. The player character just doesn't feel as agile as it could be. Even simple things like being unable to jump off ladders makes it feel quite sluggish.
