Summary

Leo is a famous Engineer who comes from a rich family, until one day his entire fortune is stolen. Recounting past experiences, Leo suspects his relatives Cousin Victor, Aunt Olga, and Uncle Sergej, who also lost their fortunes in tragic accidents, of being the culprits. Leo sets out to find the thief, and is followed by the steaming apparatus, the machine that keeps the world in order, who is seemingly faltering at its job as thorns and traps keep appearing all over the land. After travelling through trails, harbors, desert ruins and mountains, he encounters his relatives who turn out to not be the thieves and lead him to a snowy landscape where Leo finds the steam apparatus's facility. There, Leo encounters his wife Matilda, who had left years ago without Leo noticing, and had taken his gold because she believed it "took his decency". She led him to his gold, but on the way Leo discovers the apparatus has no more liquid metal to be able to continue functioning. Leo makes the decision to give his gold to the machine, thus losing his fortune again. Matilda, thankful for his kindness, walks home with Leo.

Gameplay

The game is a 2D sidescroller that is played using touch controls. Leo can slide along the ground to move and can jump by tapping the screen. Leo can also inflate to descend slower and solve certain puzzles and platforming challenges. There are gold coin's trailed throughout the levels, collecting them all will earn a star at the end of the stage, along with not losing any lives and completing the level in a certain timeframe. The stars are used to play bonus levels.
