Due to these shorter limits, some of the levels are nearly impossible to pass without help. I’m also not too big a fan of the dice bonus mid game. I prefer the spin bonus at the beginning of the game. I’ll probably end up taking a break from the game. ### 3/5 — Too many levels not possible *2026-09-06, version 25.0.1* This is a great game but the developer is greedy. There are too many levels that are impossible to win without paying for a power up or extra time. It’s frustrating. If you want to make it that hard, give away more power ups or at least make all levels achievable in the time allocated. ### 4/5 — I just wish it had a zen mode *2026-09-05, version 25.0.1* Great game! I’ve been playing this for too long and up to level 1257. Who;r every level is solvable, I can sometimes meditate on a level for days. It would be even better if it had a zen mode. Something that makes the game more relaxing and a puzzle rather than the time being such a constraint. Some levels you’re just learning the sequence and doing it over and over again to get fast at it. I don’t think that’s the most fun bit in a puzzle game. ### 2/5 — Too many early hard levels *2026-09-05, version 25.0.1* I like the idea but there simply isn’t enough time to strategise the hard levels and watching an ad or spending coins only adds 20 seconds. It’s clearly designed to make people spend money on boosters and the AI generated ads are absolutely awful too. Gave it a go but not worth my time so it’s getting deleted. ### 4/5 — Nope nope nope nope nopity nope (¬⤙¬ ) *2026-09-05, version 25.0.1* Not good I tried some levels but... Some ones are hard! Please make all of them easy for me! 😭😭😭😭😭 ### 3/5 — Great until level 270+ *2026-09-03, version 25.0.0* I truly adored this game, so it's very disheartening and disappointing to have to give a 3 star review. There is so much charm and fun to this game. The sounds and animations are pleasing, the puzzles get tricky in a fun way, even the gameplay gimmicks they add it to make it more challenging are fun a cohesive with the rest of the game! ...up until a certain point. At some point, they add in a new gimmick that keeps the lizards in static, blocky shapes that you have to slide around until the lizard in the shape lines up with the hole. It's counter intuitive to the core gameplay and utterly destroys anything fun or satisfying about the game. This game is no longer a fun challenge, and has been merely reduced to a boring and overly complicated slide block puzzle game with a very short timer. I don't want to try and get past the very hard level showcasing the mechanic, because the game is already ruined. ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2026-09-01, version 25.0.0* I love a good challenge and I’ll try multiple times. The issue is that there have been several times that I’ve tried every way and there is NO solution unless you buy something to help move it along. That’s when you lose me. You shouldn’t be stuck before you even start. What fun is that? ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-31, version 25.0.0* Good ### 5/5 — Obsessed *2026-08-31, version 25.0.0* I play it constantly. They introduce new mechanics often and there’s always fun new geckos. Best game on my phone ### 4/5 — Frustrating *2026-08-29* The update cutting down the time makes the game ridiculously frustrating ### 5/5 — Great fun with challenging time restrictions *2026-08-29, version 24.0.1* Some hints would be helpful-time allowed very minimal. ### 3/5 — Losing due to app issues *2026-08-27, version 24.0.1* I was winning a level and the app froze and I lost all of my dice spins and adventure help. This is the second time this has happened and it’s very frustrating ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Help out *2026-09-09, version 25.0.1* It sucks don’t buy it ### 1/5 — Too many *2026-09-09, version 25.0.1* Too many pop up things to “earn” prizes before you can even play the game ### 1/5 — Would like to just play the game, please *2026-09-05, version 25.0.1* I don’t want all these extra weird like challenges and collections it’s like a boring stupid game just to get through all of that stuff to get to the real game. ### 1/5 — Too much spam *2026-09-05, version 25.0.1* Too much spam ### 1/5 — Review *2026-09-01, version 25.0.0* Boring ### 1/5 — Secretly Overcharging You *2026-09-01, version 25.0.0* I have had this game for a few months now and enjoy the puzzles and playing the actual game. However, like many of these other reviews are stating, once you reach a certain point it is impossible to complete a level without cheats. You have to purchase coins in order to buy the cheats you need if you don’t already have them. I have clicked on the $1.99 option for 1,000 coins a handful of times. It has just come to my attention that instead of charging me the posted $1.99 amount, they have been charging me $43-$47 and change each time. I have submitted a refund request and have not heard anything back from them. I have 7 transactions that need to be refunded due to their complete misrepresentation of pricing and shady charging schemes. Do not get this game, do not buy anything, it is not worth the risk or time. ### 1/5 — So many ads *2026-08-31, version 25.0.0* This would be a pretty good game (4stars) if it weren’t for the ads which pop up after every single level. ### 1/5 — Glitch *2026-08-30* I love playing the game, but there’s some glitch since yesterday, the game hangs suddenly when dice is activated and they I have to restart the app and I lose my progress Same thing happened again today ### 1/5 — The ignore my purchase *2026-08-26, version 24.0.1* I bought bundle and didn't get it i provided them with receipt from apple purchase in the chat with no answer or solution just be careful and don't buy anything ### 1/5 — Greedy ad monetization *2026-08-25, version 24.0.1* Update pushed add to after every game, I’m not paying 11 bucks for this ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Harder than it looks *2026-09-09, version 25.0.1* I gotta say; I’m pretty picky and get bored easily but I’m really digging this game. There are ads after each game but I think that’s about it. Check it out. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-09-08, version 25.0.1* Fun game. Just wish it would ask to confirm before spending all the coins to continue after running out of time. Lost lots of coins because I accidentally hit the continue button. ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-09-08, version 25.0.1* Good game ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-09-06, version 25.0.1* Simple game, but it truly makes you think. ### 5/5 — safe? *2026-09-05, version 25.0.1* c'est pas un problème ### 5/5 — Gecko out *2026-09-05, version 25.0.1* Good game ### 5/5 — My favorite game *2026-09-03, version 25.0.0* This is the one game that fulfills my addictive habits ### 5/5 — Gecko out *2026-09-02, version 25.0.0* Great clever game Smooth Graphics ### 5/5 — Level 28hundred&something *2026-09-02, version 25.0.0* I’ve almost reached level 3k. I’m obsessed! ### 5/5 — Gecko Put *2026-09-01, version 25.0.0* Fun, fun!!!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
