Leaf Me Alone

Leaf Me Alone exists as four separate indie games sharing the same name across different developers and release years. The most notable is the 2013 Ludum Dare entry — a compact browser game under 12MB where a leaf navigates through environmental hazards. One version features an A-12 robot with a 3-second dump mechanic that can be cancelled mid-animation, which is the primary technique for navigating tight corridors without wall contact.

The ASMR-adjacent version uses quadrant containment — keeping the leaf within specific screen zones — as its scoring metric rather than pure survival time, making it feel distinctly different from the other versions. Each of the four versions plays differently enough that familiarity with one doesn’t fully transfer to another. The 2013 Ludum Dare entry is the most polished starting point.
