A side-scrolling obstacle race where movement is the strategy. Two racers share one course, but they don’t have to take the same path. The first to reach the finish wins.

Actual WILDLEAP gameplay: stone platforms, racers and the catapult route
Rootbound Ruins · In-game capture

The course is
your playground.

Take the catapult route or work with the spring cart. Routes split and reconnect, so a different path can become your next overtake.

  • Launch from catapults and spring platforms.
  • Move carts, adjust a hinged bridge and ride rope lifts.
  • Time your passage past the swinging pendulum.
  • Choose your path without mandatory challenge order.

Not just the jump.
Three mine types · Original game assets

Leave a little
trouble behind.

Place a timed mine where your rival is likely to land. Blast Mine pushes them away, Bounce Mine sends them upward, and Vortex Mine pulls them inward.

  • A ten-second fuse rewards anticipation.
  • Enemy mines are revealed when you get close.
  • Your own mines cannot knock you back.
  • Each slot has its own cooldown: commit carefully.

One well-timed leap.
Limited boosts · Class-based movement

Three boosts.
Make them count.

Hold and release Shift to use a boost. Momo gains height; Buba gains a stronger push. Spend one to recover, or keep it for the move that wins the race.

  • Three charges per race, shown in the HUD.
  • Different movement profiles change your approach.
  • Recover from setbacks and rejoin the course.
  • Rematch immediately and try another route.
What you can play today

A local browser race against a scripted AI opponent on Rootbound Ruins, with preparation, mines, boosts and physics-driven obstacles. Online human-vs-human racing is part of the roadmap, not this demo.

Try the playable build →
Inside preparation: parts, mine inventory & local upgrades

Inspect the six official parts of each starter, arrange mine slots, manage mine instances and transfer them between your local Axies. A level-one mine upgrade costs 100 demo coins and adds 10% force without changing its fuse or range. Transferring a mine removes its mine upgrade; the part level remains.

This is a browser-local prototype collection. Demo coins are not tokens, upgrades are not NFT evolution, and a transfer here is not an on-chain transaction. Choices are saved in this browser when local storage is available.

A wilder world awaits.

Start with a playable race. Grow into a world of routes, rivals and expressive Axie playstyles.

How do I use the catapult?

Jump onto the cup. Hold W to charge, use A/D to adjust your aim, then release W to launch. Press S to cancel the charge.

Why can’t I place a mine?

You must be grounded on an allowed surface. Mines cannot be placed in the protected starting area, while their slot is cooling down, or while that slot already has an active mine. The gray overlay on the slot shows the cooldown.

What happens when I fall or enter a dark portal?

You return to a recovery position. Dark portals are reset hazards, not the finish line. Avoid them and continue toward the goal; the course does not require a fixed order of challenges.

Is this online multiplayer? Do I need to buy an Axie?

This demo is a local race against AI, not online multiplayer. Starter Axies are available without an NFT purchase. Online PvP and deeper player-owned Axie support are planned separately.

What makes WILDLEAP different?

The course is part of your strategy: pushing a cart changes a launch point, a catapult creates a shortcut, and a timed mine can interrupt a landing. Combine movement, route choice and interference—not simply running faster.

Take the wild route.
