  • stability
    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is currently plagued by numerous bugs and glitches, making it frustrating and often unplayable for many users. While some players express hope for improvements in future updates, the overwhelming consensus is that the game's stability issues significantly detract from the overall experience. Despite its charm and potential, the frequent crashes, freezes, and game-breaking glitches hinder progress and enjoyment.

    • “I understand that the game is in early access, so of course it's bound to have some issues, but the game is super buggy and unfun to play as a result.”
    • “It is a borderline-unplayable buggy mess.”
    • “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.”
  • gameplay
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is described as fun and addictive, particularly for fans of collection mechanics and cute aesthetics, with a creative core loop that encourages continued play. However, the game suffers from significant bugs and softlocks, which detract from the experience and make it difficult to recommend in its current state. While the visuals are appealing and the mechanics are easy to grasp, the presence of broken features and unimplemented achievements raises concerns about its overall value, especially given its early-access status.

    • “The overall design is pretty pleasant, and the mechanics are very simple to learn.”
    • “The visuals are sufficiently silly, the geckos do gecko, the gameplay is addicting, and there is plenty on the horizon.”
    • “The core gameplay loop is fun, creative, and keeps pulling me back in.”
    • “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.”
    • “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.”
    • “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.”
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received mixed feedback, with many players praising the unique and adorable art style, particularly the cute geckos. However, some users have noted issues with bugs and a less favorable comparison to other art styles. Overall, the visuals are described as colorful and fun, contributing to the game's charm despite some technical shortcomings.

    • “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.”
    • “The art style is somewhere between corporate Memphis and an Autism Speaks ad.”
    • “I have encountered a couple of bugs, but that is to be expected with a new game.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while it can be enjoyable and rewarding at higher levels, many feel that the initial grind is tedious and can become annoying as the game progresses. Despite its cuteness and fun elements, the grind can significantly impact gameplay, especially when bugs are involved.

    • “Once you have the capacity to have a lot of gecks, this gets horribly tedious and annoying.”
    • “It gets a bit tedious grinding levels.”
    • “The game itself is quite fun, but it can be a bit grindy at the beginning.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by its lighthearted and fun elements, particularly highlighted by amusing physics, such as the "jiggle lizard." While the game may have some bugs, they often contribute to the overall comedic experience, making it enjoyable for players who appreciate a less polished but passionate approach.

    • “Very fun and relaxing, and the jiggle lizard physics are hilarious!”
    • “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.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users highlight that Geckoshop features a cozy atmosphere, contributing to an inviting and comfortable experience.

    • “Geckoshop has a cozy atmosphere.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players indicate that the game's replayability is currently hindered by bugs, suggesting that improvements in stability and playability could encourage them to revisit the game in the future.

    • “I might return to the game if the bugs are fixed and the game becomes more playable.”
  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is severely lacking, with frequent crashes, stuttering, and frustrating menu navigation issues reported by users. Despite some appealing elements, such as cute graphics, the overall experience is marred by these technical problems, making it difficult to recommend in its current state.

    • “I am constantly trapped in menus, crashing, game stuttering, and looping after trying to load the game. Geckos are extremely cute, but this is not worth your time in its current state.”
