@kerelolivier - Thanks, as I was over the deadline could not add a tomer or different obstacles, but I'm sure I will add in a next version of the game
@simogecko xD Thanks, I really like geckos, they are very smart and useful against insects. Thanks, As for the bug of passing the block without eating, I noticed this in the development, but you have to press the key at the exact moment that the gecko stops walking ... anyway, thanks for mentioning, I'll see if I put a delay in controls to fix.
found a bug if I move too fast it skips a box. Anyway I think its a simple puzzle game and it fits the theme in a way that is quite expected. Anyhow, as much as I enjoyed the game, I dont think you benefit much from making a top down 3D game, 2D might even work better, also you save some performance as well. Did you model all the animals? they look good actually, like the bugs look delicious! Good work!
Also this would make a great cell phone game. Since you could just click to each tile to move.
@dominic Thank you for liking and thanks for the tips too.
@fecalmancer Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
@darkguardsman - Thanks, I really should leave in the next version everything on the keyboard, and via mouse would be a great idea for when I make a version for smarphones
As for the game, its controls felt a bit unresponsive, but beneath the surface there is a great puzzle game.
@chris-coe - Thanks a lot for your analysis, this is very motivating for me ... I'm glad you have won the game, I'm definitely motivated to create a new version of this game with many more challenges, improve the graphics and the gameplay
@landosystems - Thanks! Fidel is a great game, I'm glad my game reminded him of it. But I was inspired by the classic game Booby Carrot to develop Smart Gecko
@incinious - Thank you, I’m glad you liked it.
Is there a retry button when you know you've made a mistake and want to retry without moving to a dead end ?
Good job! :D
Keep focus and make it great! Cheers!
