Three months after we first featured the puzzle-platformer, Noel's Leap 4 Blue is available to play for free online at Bored.com. The game's gimmick is simple: you can create platforms that will help you reach the shining squares scattered around the stages, as well as the exit to the next level.

The challenge comes from the instant-kill red squares you need to avoid, the limited number of platforms you can create at a time, the fact that your platforms disappear after a 12 seconds, and the controls that didn't seem as precise as I would have liked, often causing me to overshoot jumps and land on the aforementioned red squares.

One neat feature Leap 4 Blue gives you is the ability to manually change the songs playing, which were composed by Liam Berry and Infinite Ammo's Alec Holowka. It helps that the soundtrack is great, too!

And if you're interested in the journey Noel took to create Leap 4 Blue and find a sponsor, you should check out this blog entry, in which he talks about starting the game at Winnipeg TIGJam and working through Flash Game License to sell it.
