Hi. Hello. I love the core gameplay of this game, the specific “shift pieces around to get each pieces to their specific exit” is something you don’t tend to see a ton of. If you could add an untimed mode with extra-hard levels that I could spend a ton of time letting my brain chew on, that would be awesome, as the timer and subsequent “candy-crushification” is this game’s biggest weakness, in my eyes. Also, please add an option to turn off the “Adventurer’s bonus” or whatever it’s called. I want to beat every level legitimately without using boosters, and a booster that makes the level easier that deploys upon start-up is incredibly annoying. I’ve been resetting the level - loosing a life each time - to avoid using this booster, which effectively halves my playtime each session. Please. I’m here for a brain game, not a quick dopamine hit. I get more satisfaction when I complete a level legitimately than when I cheat it, and I just want the opportunity to complete every level on my own without any help. Anyways, excellent base gameplay, I would love it if you released a separate game mode and/or entirely new application that removes the gacha and candy-crush slop and focuses exclusively on the logic-puzzle elements of this game, because beneath the layer of micro-transaction and gambling-pop-up nightmare is a truly fun and innovative gameplay experience.

I would rate this higher but I don’t like games that the only way to move on is to use the add ons. I wish it had a daily coins feature, anything to help gain more coins would be nice. I also wish you could do more ads to gain more coins. Or if you run out of lives, why can’t there be teams so you can get more lives that way. I feel like it would make this more eventful. Even have where you battle against someone else to get all the geckos into the holes. Something to help build more coins. I do really like this game, it has some great potential.

I like this game in general but am finding it more frustrating than fun recently. I’m currently on level 83 and now it seems that every other level is labeled either “Hard” or “Very Hard”. It is nearby impossible to move any of the geckos enough to get one in their hole and start making progress. Even if I finally get one in the hole, half the time has elapsed and there is no way to complete the level in the remaining time. I guess the business model is based on the notion that some or most players will buy the extras to complete the hard levels but I think more people will just give up playing altogether. Developers would do better in the long run to make their games a little easier and retain their player base over time in my opinion. We play games to relax and have fun, not get frustrated constantly. I don’t mind paying a little for games that I can enjoy. This game would be so much better if they made the hard levels around 15% less hard (fewer walls, one less gecko, more time, etc).
