So cute and such a fun idea!
Incredibly cute art!
Amazing game! The mechanism is very creative, and the gecko is very cute.
my shadow wasn;t working but it still was a fun game!
Brilliant. The way you learn why you'd want to scale up vs. scale down via gameplay is already something to write home about. Add some stunning charm, and you've got a hitter.
I love the clever use of the theme and the fantastic execution! Great job!
This game is amazing, so creative, I am jealous of the creators :D
So cool, such a great way to change up a old classic, well done!
this music reminds we why i wake up in the morning
This is one of the coolest modernizing of a classic simple game. Very good execution.
Great game! A new aproach of the so well known game by GGGGG.... hehehe. I loved the animation and the musics goes so well with the game.
The mechanics are so creative! Can't believe this polished game was made under 48 hours
This is so incredibly creative. And you made this in 48 hours??? What??? And the mechanics are genuinely fun to play too, I love having to bend my mind to think in both 3d and 2d at the same time. The presentation is also great and very cute, and the music is a genuine banger.
I like the start button lol
Damn, I feel bad for losing internet connection now.
Great game, and super cool take on scaling using shadows! Felt like my brain had to think in 4D to process all the obstacles coming my way.
Wow, I never knew the no-internecko had such a deep inner life
No Geckos were harmed in the pursuit of this highscore. I promise.
Brilliant take on the scaling theme, and your vision is crystal clear! I can tell you really nailed it here. I love how the backdrop looks with the toy gecko in front. It would've been really cool if there was more to the set surrounding it or a darker tone to highlight the scene in the middle, but I'm really impressed that you managed to do all this in the first 48 hours. And the little animation at the beginning was such a nice touch on top of all that! I look forward to seeing more of your creative endeavors :D
That's dope and hella creative! To think about shadows in theme scale is pretty clever...
Plus, congrats for the animation in the start! I'd easily watch a show in that style haha
this is the google game we needed the whole time
