Fallen Leaf

Fallen Leaf is a platforming game about Leaf, an eager treasure hunter who must stop a repressive, merciless ruler that Leaf has accidentally reawakened. With magical gauntlets and help from an ever-growing list of extended relatives, Leaf searches for a special item capable of vanquishing evil, travelling through dark caves, deep oceans, dense city skylines and the clouds.

The journey

You jump and shoot through over 70 stages filled with secrets. Across 4+ expansive world maps, you choose routes, visit towns inhabited by NPCs and uncover hidden stages. The varied locales contain a wide range of enemies.

The story also explores the mystery of an ancient evil and the “heroic wizard” who sealed it away, with themes of redemption and retribution alongside comedy.

Combat and characters

You collect gauntlet upgrades to strengthen your attacks and find magical sub-weapons that let you adapt your approach to combat. Projectiles have weight, rewarding careful, strategic play and punishing mindless button mashing. You can also unlock additional characters, each with a unique gameplay style.

Visuals and music

Fallen Leaf uses an 8-bit color palette with more simultaneous colors and a widescreen aspect ratio. Its soundtrack features chiptune melodies.
