Your First Hour in Leaf it Alone

  1. Start by clearing the porch and front entrance by hand. They're quick to finish and pay out your first cash.
  2. Spend early money on hand upgrades and leaf bags, then save up for the leaf blower to clear big areas much faster.
  3. Pick up the rake to push leaves into big piles, and keep an eye on your journal to see which objectives and areas are next.
  4. Blow leaves away from the leaf inlets before you collect them so you don't end up paying for repairs.

What is Leaf it Alone?

Leaf it Alone is a cozy incremental game from Eternity about clearing a yard buried under autumn leaves. You rake, blow and hand-pick leaves, bag them up for cash, and spend that money on tool upgrades that make every pass faster.

Your journal tracks objectives and how clean each area is, while hidden photos, cards and secret rooms reward a careful sweep. The free 1.1 update added the Castle and Sakura maps, a Custom Mode and new achievements to chase.

  1. 1

Leaf it Alone Achievements Guide

The base game has a short list of achievements, but a few need planning, like a huge leaf pile, a full upgrade set and a run with no repairs. Here's what each of the tricky ones asks for and how to get it on your first save.

Leaf of Faith

Rake about 1,000 leaves into one pile and jump in. A corner of the pool holds the pile together well.

Senior Investor

Buy every tool plus every Hand, Rake and Leaf Blower upgrade. You can skip the leaf inlet and labyrinth upgrades.

Leaf No Leaf Behind

Get all 13 areas to 100% clean.

Craftsman

Finish the game without repairing a single leaf inlet. Blow leaves away from the inlets before you collect them.

Work Smart, Not Hard →

Unlock this one first, then go for Craftsman, so the two don't get in each other's way.

Need for Sweep →

Finish the whole game in under 40 minutes. Do it on a separate save.

Leaf it Alone Upgrade Tier List

Money is tight early, so buy upgrades in the right order. This list ranks tools and upgrades by how much they speed up your cleaning and progress.

S

Leaf Blower. This is the biggest jump in speed in the game, so save up and buy it as soon as you can.

A

Hand upgrades and leaf bags. They're cheap, they boost income early, and Suction Mode in the Hand upgrades makes the blower a vacuum.

B

Rake ($7.49) and Rake upgrades. You need them for big piles and for Senior Investor, and the rake is quick in speedruns.

C

Leaf inlet and labyrinth upgrades. They're nice to have, but Senior Investor doesn't need them.

Leaf it Alone Speedrun Guide

Need for Sweep asks you to finish the game in under 40 minutes, and the game has Steam leaderboards if you want to chase your best time. These tips will get you under the limit.

  1. 1

    Start a new save just for the timed run so your main progress stays separate.

  2. 2

    Get the rake early and use it as your main tool. Many players find it faster than a blower without upgrades.

  3. 3

    If you do use the blower, upgrade it first. Otherwise it scatters leaves in the wrong direction.

  4. 4

    Go straight through each area without backtracking, and keep checking the journal for what's left.

  5. 5

    Finish under 40 minutes to unlock Need for Sweep, then compare your time on the leaderboards.
