Leap Mink

The first square is enough

A blank level editor can ask for too much imagination at once. Leap Mink begins with a sample that can be taken apart. Moving one platform changes a jump that already exists, which gives a new maker something immediate to feel and compare. The first useful design decision can be very small.

That smallness is not a compromise in the learning experience. A collectible placed slightly away from the obvious route changes the reason to jump. A spike changes the cost of a poor landing. A one-cell adjustment can make the same space generous or demanding. Each edit has a visible object and a playable consequence.

Undo and redo keep this exploration light. The maker can return to a previous arrangement instead of treating every experiment as a commitment. Switching into play then tests the hunch under the same movement rules that the route checker uses. The tool helps connect a visual arrangement to the experience of moving through it.

The local workshop uses a 24-by-14 board with platforms, spikes, collectibles, a start and an exit. The player must collect every washer before leaving. Edits support undo and redo. Play, bounded route checking and solution replay help inspect the design, while level-code export and import carry the board between browsers without an account.

Move a platform one cell and play through the changed gap. Notice the consequence before adding another step. This presentation does not connect a hosted service or issue a token; its claim is the small interaction you can actually inspect.
