In Leaf Bound, the main character Yuri sets out to destroy the evil mechanical monkeys that have been terrorizing her land. Yuri has a vertical leap any NBA star would kill for, an affinity for spicy foods and a disdain for robot monkeys. Dispatching these pesky primates is as simple as bouncing off their heads but requires some slick maneuvering and timing.

The goal in Leaf Bound is to make it to the top of each level and defeat the boss waiting for you there. Yuri has the energy of an eight-year-old, as she is constantly jumping without tiring. To progress to the top of the level, you bound from one slowly falling leaf to the next, climbing ever higher. Aside from the leaves, you can jump off the heads of monkeys or the occasional ledge in your journey to the top.

One misstep though, and Yuri goes into a free-fall toward the ground. Falling doesn't cause Yuri any damage; it just means she'll have to regain the lost progress--which is tracked by a progress bar on the left side of the screen.

This whole process is made much more difficult by the meddling monkeys along the way. They love hurling coconuts, lightning bolts and anything else they can get their grubby little hands on. Taking a hit from one of these primate projectiles means losing a heart. Hearts represent your health, and once they're all gone, it's game over.

Luckily, scattered throughout the levels are all types of food. Collecting any three food items replaces one heart. That's all well and good, but what really gets Yuri going is spicy food. Collecting three hot sauce bottles or three red peppers gives you temporary invincibility and increases your jumping height.
