### 4/5 — Great and enjoyable but needs improvement

*2025-02-24, version 1.2.1*

Great fun getting chameleon eggs is fun get this game if you love reptiles I only wish there were more ways to get golden crickets

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-02-14, version 1.2.1*

Fun game. Needs a update. It has been 13 years.

### 5/5 — Awesome experience small updates as we go would be awesome

*2024-06-07, version 1.2.1*

A feed all button would be great, also if you tap more than 10 feeds on accident not resetting to 2 would be a good change.

### 1/5 — Data Resest

*2024-03-19, version 1.2.1*

This game was so fun. I was getting so far in the game. But one day I logged back in and all of my progress reset. It is just so annoying, I was getting so far in the game. It would be really nice if you could fix this

### 4/5 — Great but needs some fixing!

*2023-07-30, version 1.2.1*

Please reply to this and take my advice! Sometimes I get these glitches where my game crashes/loose my progress or where my eggs can’t hatch for some reason! I also think there should be another way of making money! Overall it’s great and fun! I do recommend

### 5/5 — Yes yes yes yes

*2023-07-17, version 1.2.1*

This game is so fun! I love raising the chameleons and there are lots of different chameleons to collect. I would definitely say that this would be a fun game to all age groups.

😙🦎

### 3/5 — It was so much fun until...

*2023-06-29, version 1.2.1*

I really enjoyed this game. I was making great progress then I logged in one day and it had restarted. All my chameleons and crickets were gone. So I tried it one more time and it restarted again. For those who want to play a game to take care of lizards, pick a different game!

### 5/5 — I love this game
