Pros
- Nice Art
- Voice Acting

♥♥♥♥
- Extremely Repetative
- Seemingly extremely strict in time management for routes. Just seems like you have to be very exact in how approach each run for endings.
- The events really aren't all that interesting.
- No gallery

Neutral
- Story really isn't all that interesting or funny so far. However I haven't really had a decent run yet so maybe there is some good in there to be found, thus neutral instead of negative.

Overall I can't really recommend this game, it's not really all that fun or interesting. You have two turns a day. First turn is selecting an area to train or wandering around for an event or maybe a shop. Then the second turn opens up spots to talk to one of the girls, or shop/wander again. Then after a certain amount of days there is a scripted event in castle. This is all you do each day over and over, and you only have 30 days. Can't really comment on the adult scenes as other than the scripted ones I didn't see any yet.

I picked this up instantly since I really like Love Sex & Second Base (same devs) a lot. I highly Recommend that game instead if you haven't already picked that up.

This one hurts, cause I really like the other games by Andre. Love & Sex 2nd Base is a great little Dating/Slice of Life Sim, I highly recommend trying that one out. Leap of Love is a bit of a throwback to the old school RPGs like Kings Quest, but modern gamers will probably find the learning curve a bit steep. The difficulty level is just too high for me to enjoy it. Some elements are great, art is good, characters are well written, but after nearly 4 hours and playing through the game multiple times, all I got were bad endings. So it needs a very robust hint system, or game guide, or something that doesn't feel like you are being punished for playing. First half dozen or so deaths, I was like ha ha, fun times, lets try again. Once my deaths got over double digits, I just had to throw in the towel. It tipped from fun, to just frustrating. I may go back later if there is an in game guide or something to give me some kind of happy ending, but as it is now, I have to warn off players who don't enjoy super challenging games.

Leap of Love is an adventure visual novel with many different paths, unfortunately most of them will lead you to a bad ending.


You are a frog who longs to marry a human. First you must get a princess to kiss you, that wasn't so hard. Now that you are human you have 30 days to marry a princess or you will forever be returned to your frog form.


Days consist mainly of a morning and afternoon stage. The morning state you select an area to go to, in order to boost one of your skills, Prowess, Charm, and Knowledge. In the afternoon you advance the story by going to different locations to talk to the different princesses, the queen, or wander for a random event.


The is no gallery for this game. All experiences are in game.


I DO NOT recommend this game. While the story is great the game itself is a failure. In order to achieve any of the good outcomes you will need a walkthrough. I resorted to a walkthrough after I had achieved half a dozen bad endings. After going through the walkthrough I quickly discovered why I was only achieving the bad endings, the good endings are only possibly with a very narrow path which the odds of you discovering on your own are next to zero. Even with the walkthrough it is difficult to marry the different princesses individually as modifying your path from the marry all results in you being unable to pass events required for a good ending.

its not enjoyable. i bought it after playing love & sex expecting something good but its a real let down.

I have to admit the first thing that came to my mind when I read the game’s description and saw the screenshots was the “The Frog Prince” fairytale. The game turned out to be different from the classic tale but it was still an enjoyable one.

• Engaging story.
  
• Beautiful art.
  
• The game mechanics are solid.
  
• The game is challenging but not unfairly hard.
  
• The soundtrack is fitting.
  
• Spot on voice acting.
  
• High replay value.

• There aren’t many H-scenes and they all play near the end of the game.

• There’s no message when you pass a stat check.
  
• It lacks an image/scene gallery.

Leap of Love is a visual novel that follows the story of Kaheroux, a talking frog who longs for the attention of human women. This seems to be impossible for him to achieve until he meets a shady wizard who, amazed by his ability to talk, decides to make a deal with our amphibian protagonist. He’ll turn him into a human under the condition that he marries one of the princesses in 30 days, or else the spell will revert and he’ll be used as an ingredient for a potion.

The story is engaging and easy to follow. It combines funny moments with some serious ones and has the right amount of plot twists to not make it neither too predictable nor too convoluted.

The multiple endings give the game a high replay value. Without counting any of the bad endings there are 9 different ways to finish the story, all of them related to who you decide to marry at the end of the game.

The art of the game is great. The characters are gorgeous, and the backgrounds range from being pretty to downright stunning. Also, the chibi drawings that occasionally appear are cute.

The moving curtains that show up between scenes give the transitions a very nice and original touch. They reinforce the fairytale-like feel of the game and make the player feel like they're watching a play.

The H-scenes are very well done, but they are very few and take place near the end of the game. While I certainly don’t mind it because I find it more rewarding this way, some players who prefer to see the spicy scenes asap might get disappointed.

It’d have been nice if there was a gallery because it takes some time and effort to unlock the scenes. You can always save as soon as the scene starts and load it every time you want to relive that moment, but it can get a bit annoying (I suggest using the last save slots to avoid any accidental overwriting). A gallery has been added in the latest update, so ignore this paragraph

Each day is divided into two phases, morning and afternoon. During the morning you have to choose which of your stats you want to train (prowess, charm, or knowledge), while in the afternoon you get to try to woo one of the princesses or wander around the town.

The game is more challenging than one would think at first. While it’s not as unforgiving as other games of this kind like Long Live the Queen, your time is very limited, so you have to carefully plan which stats to train or what to do in the afternoon. Sometimes visiting a specific place or wandering around the town at the right moment can make the difference between getting your happy ending or not living to tell the tale.

It’s worth noting there are a lot of save slots available. While it’s a bit excessive to have about 60 save slots in your typical visual novel, being able to save at least once per day in this one is very helpful. It lets you backtrack as much as you need if you make a critical mistake early into the game and you notice it much later.

There are three modes you can adjust the notifications; basic, full, or none. It's set to basic by default, which shows a message every time you fail a stat check or obtain an item. If you want more info you can set it to full, which will also say how high your stats should have been or which item you needed, or if you feel brave you can set it to none and mute it. It’d have been nice if we also got a message every time you clear a stat check. It’s not important, but it feels odd to not see anything when you pass them.

The soundtrack is very fitting. There’s a good variety of tunes, with a mix of upbeat tracks and solemn ones, and they all do a great job of giving the game a medieval vibe and setting up the mood in each scene.

Leap of Love may have some issues here and there, but it’s a game every fan of visual novels with management elements should consider buying as long as they don’t mind the adult content.

Leap of Love reminds me a lot of Monster Prom in that you will definitely fail several times before having a general idea of how the game events work. Even then you still aren’t completely out of the woods, as often I would try to build toward a specific ending but some of the built in randomness would end up pointing me toward another. The game definitely requires a level of patience, but overall it’s an enjoyable play. If you like this go check out Andrealphus Games’s flagship Love and Sex: Second Base if you haven’t already.

This game gets a lot of negative reviews for being too difficult, and yeah, I get that. My tips for anyone who wants the easy scenes: 1. Set it to easy mode. 2. Do a few runs just building entirely one stat each time. You will get bad endings, don't worry about it. With easy mode, some of your stats carry over to the next run, so you can eventually start a run with like 60 in every stat and easily clear everything, allowing you to get the good ends (and even the harem endings)
NOTE: The DLC characters make the game MUCH harder if you choose to buy that, so I'd recommend only buying that if you really enjoy the base game.

The art is really good, most of the H scenes are animated and most lines are voice acted, including moaning. Overall I'd give it a 6.5/10.

most problems with this game are just bugs. Like rollback doesnt work for me no matter what I try, plus why doesnt it support mouse wheel rollback anyways rather than right/left side of the screen. No matter what option I chose at the first option the game pretends I chose the castle. if I go to the tavern first without going to the other two my character talks about events that havent happened to him yet at the castle.

fix the bugs and we got a neat little game here

TL;DR-
Story & Characters: 4/10
Writing: 5/10
Gameplay(wait, really?!): 4/10
Music & Sound Design: 6/10
Graphics: 6/10
Hentai: 8/10
Replayability: 5/10
Those times when visual novels throw explicit sex scenes at me and I'm STILL not impressed: Still limp/10

-REVIEW-
Straight and simple: this VN LEAPED FOR LOVE....and fell face first in the lake.

"But, Han...HENTAI!" Yeah, yeah, yippee, now shut up and listen. This may surprise you, but while I do enjoy the "rewards" you get from this game, not to mention the fact the game waits until the very end of the story to show them, making them feel well-earned, I feel that a GOOD STORY is really what these titles should have if they want my thumbs up. Sure, I get it, VNs are typically a "you get what you pay for" thing, but even low budget page turners can still have an amazing tale to tell.

I mean, if I didn't believe that, I wouldn't have recommended "Trick & Treat: A Visual Novel!"

So the story starts pretty much how I'd expect: a little frog narrating his own simple and easy life, wondering what it'd be like to live among the humans, maybe get some royal p***y in the process. Wait, hang on...*checks notes* Er, no, I didn't accidentally talk about The Little Mermaid, this is the kickoff. So anyway, Kaheroux(pronounced Kai-roo) the frog gets yoinked by Villain McObvious #1, a mischevious alchemist who is secretly trying to do bad guy things. Kaheroux manages to stave off death via potion ingredient by confessing his desire to be a human, so mean old man grants his wish; he just has to be kissed by a woman. You then get a choice of three locations which will contain a princess of some kind...only for the first two princesses to NOT kiss you, but the third one does because(spoiler!) she's drunk. Hooray, pointless choices!
But hold on to your hats, folks, did you know there's actually a game in them thar novel? Even though Kaheroux manages to become a prince...yeah, he doesn't even have to craft an actual identity, this blessing will only be permanent if he can marry one of the three princesses in 30 days. Otherwise, you go back to impersonating Kermit. So how do we play the game? Well, it's basically a morning/afternoon day by day cycle, where in the mornings, you choose one of four locations to go to increase one of three stats: beat up some straw dummies to improve PROWESS, study at the library to improve KNOWLEDGE, go haggle at the shops to improve MERCANTILE, or-oh, wait, hang on, it's CHARM...how that makes sense is beyond me. Finally, there's the forest, which randomly improves one of the three stats. The first three options boost their respective stats by 1 point, the forest can be either 1 point or 2.

Afternoons get a bit more interesting. The main locations to visit are one of three hangouts where the three princesses are. There's Charlotte, the princess voted most likely to be a football fan, who always hangs at the tavern. There's Diana, the epitome of stereotypical Cinderella princess, who's always at the castle courtyard. There's Blanche, the "die hard Catholic" whose location actually varies with her story, but is more often than not at the Church. Finally, there's Alienor, the queen of all things, who is tougher to bed, but has the deepest story(well, deep for the VN). Alternatively, you can go "wander around"(that's actually what the option is called *facepalm*), which gives you a random scenario to solve, with most, but not all, options giving you a stat point boost. You can also buy items every 7th afternoon, and there's a madatory castle visit those days, too. Basically, the idea behind the game is to raise your stats carefully, using them to bypass certain situations(which correct items can do as well) and hopefully win your woman's heart(or womens' hearts; yep, this game has polygamy-how else will we get in the mandatory harem ending?). So, sounds like quite the thought provoking test of strategy, eh?

Well, sort of. If you want a super easy game, chase either Charlotte(all prowess) or Diana(all charm). There are a few moments that require some alternative stat placement, but the times I played their routes, I was good with one stat. Blanche actually takes some extra work, as knowledge alone doesn't quite win every battle(25 charm will help a lot). Alienor is basically the "some measure of all three" option; you need at least 3 of each stat just to unlock her. Finally, the polygamy options are easy enough to deduce; just get enough of each necessary stat and you should be good(Blanche and Charlotte may need all three stats boosted, though). So overall, the gameplay isn't too bad, but it has issues, some of which can be linked to the story.

As far as the plot is concerned, the marry-your-waifu quest is interesting enough, but I do like how other subplots present themselves as you go along, including the evil alchemist's ulterior motive, the mystery of why every queen dies after they bear a daughter(the three princesses are stepsisters, so relax, no laws are being broken), and a plot to overthrow the king by the minister(let's face it, in stories like these, it's ALWAYS the minister). The ladies you date also have some fairly neat, if simplistic, backgrounds attached to them that give them a bit more oomph in terms of character. What sucks, however, is that the overall storytelling is very bland and dry. Motivations are quite basic, the writing is thin in terms of description(and has some typos here and there), and all the bad guys are super predictable. The only scenes I felt were really memorable were the big moments with the ladies, as well as a few fight scenes you can get into.

It's all pretty basic, especially considering that there's not a lot of strategy in terms of point acquisition; after six good endings, I had the math figured out and realized, outside of maybe going for the full harem, I just needed a few key items and certain stats to reach 25, depending on the women. There was some load scumming involved, but it was very easy, which made it all repetitive and unsatisfying at the end. The initial discoveries can be fun or BS, but aside from getting each ending, even the fast forward option couldn't stop the game from eventually becoming a chore.

I'll give the game this: for those moments where you don't have enough stats, well, there are plenty of ways to die. Stabbed, drowned, poisoned, beheaded, crushed, tentacle rap-er, attack, the game does a good and varied job of keeping you on your toes.

Now for graphics and sound. Look-wise, the game does a nice job, especially with the backgrounds, which look amazing. The sprites look pretty good, with some changes in facial expression here and there, but there are some moments where they look less than stellar. I won't lie; the ladies' nude sprites aren't exactly the best looking, though they aren't the worst I've seen. Sound-wise, I have good and bad news. Good news: the VAs who do the women are amazing. The cast did a nice job of performing their distinct personalities, and the sound quality was good overall. The well known Silkymilk is here too! Bad news: the game's description lies to you. The game claims fully-voiced text(only for the women, which is fine), but this is only true for the single-bride routes. The endings with more than one women do not have ANY VOCALS AT ALL. I mean...REALLY?! I know vocals aren't that important, but VAs can make any moments in a VN better, even the hentai ones! I haven't seen a move this lazy since that 2077 game.

So yeah, I sadly have to shake my head on this one. I can see what they were going for, and there are some fun moments to this game, but even if you're just going for the endings, the VN has little to offer that won't get old after numerous playthroughs. It's a good idea on paper, and I hope they improve this VN in the future, but in the meantime, if you want a title similar to this that does a much better job overall, play God Save the Queen instead. Thanks for reading.

This is a game that can spice up your new year! but it is a bit challenging to get those juicy scenes that are in the game, though the good thing about it is that the game is fully uncensored and the art is nice too! so if you got the steam wallet to buy this game and you love a bit of challenge just to get the juicy stuff, then you should definitely try this game out! :)
