You can’t attack them you can’t eat them you can’t interact with them and you can’t talk to them. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2025-11-15, version 1.0* But no levels or bosses. Other than that great game😐😁🦎 ### 3/5 — Good game good concept, needs polish *2024-05-01* I love the premise of this game, though the thing that is killing me is how fast the camera moves. It gives me motion sickness, also the relative size of things a bit odd, I can’t tell what’s meant to eat me and what I am supposed to eat ### 3/5 — .-. *2022-08-20, version 1.0* I saw my life fade into the game and when i died i was drawn in anger ### 3/5 — Some suggestions *2022-08-14* Hi so this game is good but... when I try to go outside a green cockroach tries to kill me every time so pls fox that and less green animals when you are low level pls ### 3/5 — Plz work on this *2022-06-05* I got this game today thinking it would be fun and it is but my first task is to eat food I found a bowl of fruit and whenever the eat button pops up my screen goes all crazy and it makes it so I can’t eat I haven’t got past this mission so idk what comes next that’s why I rated 3 stars plz fix this bc I’m not gonna play this game if I can’t even get past the tutorial and if I do I don’t wanna continuously die from starvation bc how will I complete tasks at all that way how will I level up enough to kill a boss (ps. I saw bosses on the map) anyways my point is I’m not saying it’s a bad game AT ALL but it does need a tiny bit of work and less glitches Ty for reading and plz fix this ### 4/5 — Fun game but *2022-03-20, version 1.0* I can’t finger out how to get money to bye things ### 3/5 — 👍🏻 *2022-02-21* I’m rating this app 3 stars because there’s too many adds and more dogs than I thought. the humans don’t hurt you, but I’m not fast enough to get away from the dogs. I say you make an easyr one. good luck on it! ### 3/5 — Meh.. *2022-02-06, version 1.0* I would not say its the best but once you realize what to do. Its fun. And it took me a while but then i realized what to do ### 4/5 — Good but *2022-02-02, version 1.0* Good but lizard's and gecko's are so fast but in this game there soooooo slow ### 4/5 — Not that bad *2021-12-28, version 1.0* I wish it can add people to the game to be more fun. ### 3/5 — I like but *2021-08-08, version 1.0* WHY IS IT HARD AND WHAT IS EVEN THE WHITE GEICO DOING IM DONE WITH THIS DUMB GAME ### 2/5 — It is not the best *2021-03-11, version 1.0* It’s a fun game but it needs more well something more to it ### 2/5 — Ouch- *2021-02-16, version 1.0* I am SO SLOW! I love how you can climb walls though, but it's nearly impossible to get food. You have to fight these monstrously huge bugs and they don't even fill your food bar up. Once I finally killed one, it went floating up! No kidding! Right through the ceiling and beyond! Haha.. Money is also hard to get too. I would recommend one of the other games from tayga instead. This isn't the best of theirs. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This game kinda sucks…. *2023-06-30, version 1.0* First of all, why are their giant roaches EVERYWHERE and why are the6 so fast and op? Tbh the lizards should be eating the roaches, and why is dusty so slow? It’s slower than a toddler on its first steps. Also the stamina is so rediculous.. I’m sorry but pls fix.. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2022-09-10, version 1.0* This game is horrible. Here is a list why I hate it. •I can’t look around •I can’t move •this game is horrible ### 1/5 — Would give zero stars if I could *2022-05-30* This game, in the first 2 seconds of me being in it, and playing, had almost zero point. Even in missions as there was almost no where to go and it was wayyy to laggy for me to even do anything if I wanted to. No offense, but mabye try a different career. 0/5. Do not recommend. ### 1/5 — This game is trash! Don’t download! *2021-12-16, version 1.0* One thing: I was near a dog I was getting attacked. Yeah that’s normal… but!. When I left I was still dying and that’s annoying. U can barely run. your health is really bad. The Quality of this game is rubbish! DONT DOWNLOAD! REALY BAD! ### 1/5 — Ok game still not good *2021-11-09, version 1.0* I can’t find food and I can’t get money or climb the top of the house ### 1/5 — Horriblely disgusting *2021-09-26, version 1.0* I can’t even get out of the house without being eaten by a roach thing ### 1/5 — Bad game *2021-08-02, version 1.0* Make it have an easy mode for 8 year old and for 4 years old too ### 1/5 — The worst *2021-06-07, version 1.0* You are the worst coder in the world even baby bum is better!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Don’t really like it *2020-12-26, version 1.0* I don’t like it because all you can do is find food every two seconds lol but I also can’t get past the green terantula ### 1/5 — what do I eat *2020-12-22, version 1.0* what do I eat? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2022-11-26, version 1.0* Good ### 5/5 — I love this game so much! *2022-08-17, version 1.0* I likeGeckos so much. They are my favorite animal. ### 5/5 — Love *2022-07-28, version 1.0* Love this game cus u can clime ### 5/5 — Happy *2022-01-04, version 1.0* It made me feel happy because my gecko just died and the in-game geckos look just like my gecko! I love this game!! ### 5/5 — Geckos 🦎 *2021-12-04, version 1.0* They are eating the bugs because geckos eat bugs it is not a charzaird but charzaird is a lizard but not a dragon. Fire type super effective to water,ground,rock but Atleast the one good thing about charzaird is that it’s not dragon/fire type.dragon type Pokémon are very weak against fairy types for some reason. Pokémon is fun and squirtle is not a squirrel/turtle hybrid it is water type ### 5/5 — I love this game *2021-02-15, version 1.0* Thank u for making this ### 5/5 — I might get a gecko *2020-10-13, version 1.0* I might get a gecko so I’m gonna download this app sorry if I delete it. If I don’t get a gecko I will get the guinea pig app ### 5/5 — You guys are so mean *2020-09-07, version 1.0* You guys are so stupid ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-08-27, version 1.0* I hate game bad game I loos as babe geko no fun big game stoopid ### 5/5 — Look, it’s good. But c’mon *2020-08-06* I had fun for a solid 90 seconds and then I became increasingly confused with what my goal was and where anything was. It starts to make sense from a technical standpoint but your goals are never really obvious in any way. I’m sure given more time I could’ve grown to enjoy this. I died too fast, walked too slowly, died too quickly, and lost interest incrementally. P.s. why is nobody in these reviews mentioning the casual ghost lizard in the opening of the game? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
