Really like it, a simple and well polished game. Mind bending and challenging for sure, but that's what makes it fun??
Very good game!
Very nice, love the 3D-2D world!
What an imaginative game, and incredibly well polished in such a small time frame. Good job!
Very cool execution and take on that lil game! So we'll polished for only 48hrs too! Brill entry
Wow such a creative take on the no internet connection game haha. So addicting!!!
Very cool, great job :)
Very funny game :)) Love it
Hello! The game seems amazing, but shadow screen just doesn't work for me. As you can see there is no cactus shadow.
And it appears our game has a brother =)
Thank you so much for trying our game! If our games are brothers, then we definitely need to give yours a try too! :P
We’re really sorry to hear it’s not working on your machine. Are you by any chance using a Mac? We’re aware of an issue that affects Mac users with Chromium-based browsers like Brave or Chrome. However, it should work smoothly on Safari. We’d greatly appreciate it if you could give Safari a try and let us know if it resolves the problem. :)
It works fine in Safari!
1. Very cool concept of using shadow mechanic, how smart! (a bit of bragging here, huh)
2. You used the concept as we did but the execution is just awesome, well done! I was really struggling to find a good realisation of the idea, and it also was kinda hard to organise all that was happening on the stage and on the shadow screen to make it clean and readable
3. The game blows my brain, very cool challenge
Hi. I made a video with the best games in the GMTK 2024 and Gecko runner is included. Here's the link if you want to watch it:
Thank you so much! It's a true honor for us to be featured in your video. :)
Thank you for your kind words. Gecko runner is a great game.
Slightly mid... Not that I did any better though.
I really like the music.
took me a bit to get a hang of the concept, but once i did, it was very fun! very well executed :))
Super cute, well animated. fantastic take on a classic!
Truly amazing. 😍 Congrats to the creators!
Amazing game, I feel so bad for the gecko, can the dev team give him a hug for me?
Amazing game :D nicely done. Love the art style and gameplay
this is a very interesting idea!
Clever expansion on the original concept, with very nice 2d graphics! Well polished for the time spent, well done :)
