stability47 negative mentions
  • The game features a cute concept with charming and fun geckos that players find addictive and enjoyable.
  • Players appreciate the relaxing and silly atmosphere, with some praising the active and responsive developer during earlier stages.
  • There is a potential for growth with intended future updates, a variety of geckos to collect, and an engaging shop simulation mechanic.
  • The game is plagued with numerous severe bugs and glitches that frequently make it unplayable and result in lost progress.
  • The developer abandoned the game in early access, choosing to focus on a sequel rather than fixing the existing version, causing community distrust.
  • Many players report poor save functionality, crashes, disappearing items, and critical gameplay issues, leading to dissatisfaction and refund requests.

  • stability

    47 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game is widely criticized for being extremely buggy, with frequent crashes, glitches, and game-breaking issues that significantly hinder playability. Many users feel it is unfinished and abandoned, despite some enjoyment of its concept and charm. While early access status partly explains the instability, the severity and persistence of bugs remain a major drawback.

    • “If you want an idea of how buggy, broken, and poorly made the game is, even the devs themselves say the coding is borderline unworkable, which shows in trying to make the game run. A detail I could overlook months ago when the game was still getting updated, but now can no longer be excused when they're trying to sell it as a finished product.”
    • “However, it is extremely buggy in its current state, so much so that in a 6 hour time frame I am either reloading my save or restarting the game at least 10 times, maybe more.”
    • “At this point the game is a buggy mess and will never get better.”

  • gameplay

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 39% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The gameplay is addictive and enjoyable, especially for fans of simulation and collection mechanics, with a simple, pleasant design and creative core loop. However, frequent bugs, softlocks, and broken or missing features significantly disrupt the experience and reduce its current value. Players should be aware of these issues, as they impact gameplay and overall enjoyment.

    • “The core gameplay loop is fun, creative, and keeps pulling me back in.”
    • “The visuals are sufficiently silly, the geckos do gecko, the gameplay is addicting, and there is plenty on the horizon.”
    • “I saw streamers on Twitch playing this and picked it up right away, I don't regret the past 10 hours of gameplay and plan on putting in a lot more!”
    • “I did have fun, and I played quite a bit already because I really enjoy games like these and I love the collection aspect of the cute little geckos especially, as well as the lab mechanic, but I've had to exit the game far too many times to get out of softlocks to recommend it in its current state.”
    • “Seriously buggy (like to the point where it will influence gameplay), keep that in mind, but besides that it's a cute little game that is a bit grindy.”
    • “As well as the fact that only a few achievements work and there are achievements for fishing, a mechanic that's not even in the game, all I can say is that $10 may be cheap but this game just isn't worth that $10 in its current state.”

  • graphics

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    44% positive mentions, 45% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    The game's graphics feature a unique and adorable art style with fun, colorful visuals that many players love, especially the charming geckos. However, several users note that bugs, likely due to its early access status, occasionally detract from the overall experience.

    • “I love their look and the art style in general.”
    • “The art style and fun colors make it really unique.”
    • “I absolutely love the art style and the cute lil geckos :3 I have encountered a couple bugs but that is to be expected with a new game.”
    • “Hideous art style and has quite a lot of bugs, even for an early access title.”

  • grinding

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game features a grind-heavy progression that becomes tedious over time, especially with clunky mechanics and a buggy, cumbersome shop interface. While the core gameplay is cute, repetitive tasks and mechanical issues can significantly detract from the experience.

    • “Once you have the capacity to have a lot of gecks, this gets horribly tedious and annoying.”
    • “However, they still stay open after getting the dailies, so resetting them will become quite tedious.”
    • “It gets a bit tedious grinding levels.”

  • monetization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Users criticize the game's monetization as a blatant cash grab, feeling abandoned by the developers who offer unfinished products and aggressively respond to negative feedback. Many express frustration over being charged for incomplete content and warn against purchasing this or related titles from the same developer.

    • “So yeah as a heads up that's the 'community' or dev team harassing people for calling out a cash grab, and who you will be dealing with if you support any of their other games.”
    • “This is an abandoned game, that was decent, but wow they suck for not even attempting to finish this one and just 'lol guys here’s the second one' no, it’s not the second one, it’s 0.3 at best, you suck and the second one should be free to everyone who wasted money on this sloppy cash grab.”
    • “Again do not buy this or the 'second' game, they have proven they are just a cash grab developer day one.”

  • humor

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is lighthearted and enjoyable, often enhanced by quirky elements like the jiggle lizard physics and amusing bugs. While the game may have some rough edges, its passion and comedic moments make it a fun and relaxing experience.

    • “Very fun and relaxing and the jiggle lizard physics are funny!”
    • “If you're looking for a super polished game with no bugs, this isn't it -- but if you're looking for a game with a lot of passion and can deal with some (usually funny) bugs, definitely give it a shot.”

  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game has a cute and appealing emotional tone, but frequent bugs and a lack of helpful in-game guidance create significant frustration, detracting from the overall emotional experience.
