Storybook Leap

Storybook Leap is a platformer game developed by Ironwood Studios. It aims to make an interactive fairytale experience where the player can play through them from start to finish, but with a unique spin to it; the Leap mechanic that allows you to summon an item or a character to change things up. The games builds on the concept of multiple universes, with the idea of the characters from the other universe changing the scenario of another universe's story. 
==Gameplay==
===Startup===
The main title screen features the Storybook Leap logo in front of a fairytale book. Via starting the game, the fairytale book opens to bring you to the stage selection menu.
===Main Game===
The gameplay in this game is similar to many 3D platformers, where you can explore and jump through the area. However, progression in this game is done very differently, where you at first play through the seven fairytales start to finish normally, and then you have to play them through again via utilizing a mechanic called “Leap”, where you could summon an item or character into that fairytale that will change the plot via deployment.
One of the game’s core mechanics is known as the “Leap” system, where via using the right Leap, you can change the fairytale’s plot and thus would unlock new endings including a hidden True Ending if the right Leap is used. Each fairytale is divided by three different acts, with one rule regarding the Leaps is that only one Leap could be used in one act at a time for a maximum of three correct ones. 
The graphics in this game are the cartoon style 3D at 60fps, similar to the likes of Crash Bandicoot, Super Lucky's Tale, and the Mario games.

===Characters===
The first type of Leap that you can summon into a fairytale includes characters. Note however that you can’t just summon that character anywhere due to limitations, but if you try to summon it and nothing happens or the character isn't deployed at all, that means that there’s nothing for that character to leap into in that current scenario. For example, using the Magic Witch card during the beginning of the 3 Pigs story will yield this because there’s nothing the Magic Witch can do in the current area.
Leap Cards can be collected via exploring through hidden rooms or areas within each of the Acts.

==Fairytales==
The Fairytales are the main stages in the game. There are a total of seven. Each stage is divided into three acts that will allow room for the Leap to be used. Once the Leap is correctly used, it will change the trajectory towards Acts 2 and 3, and thus will potentially lead to the fairytale’s hidden ending.
Each act takes around 6 to 10 minutes from start to finish.

==Trivia==
*Due to limitations of how games work, only certain items/characters can Leap at a time and the wrong ones can't. This was due to coding, scripting, and programming the incorrect leaps that could've led to many endings would've taken forever.
