Gecko Gods

[h1]ヤモリの良さが詰まってる！[/h1] ※English is following. 爬虫類好き、ヤモリも当然好きなので発売日に即購入！ しかも、パズルアドベンチャーというところも好みに合致していて 「私の好きな要素だけで構成されているゲームだ！」という印象ｗ アクションの特色としては、主人公がヤモリであるため壁や天井すべてに張り付いて這い回ることができる。忍者よりすごい。 上下左右、引力無視、縦横無尽！！ どんなに切り立った懸崖だろうとスルスル上り下り！ その前提で隠し要素の遺物も設置されているので、見つけるのがかなり難しかったりするｗ しかし、そこも含めて楽しい部分だと思う。 ゲーム開始直後の操作説明部分で「ダッシュ」の効果がわからなかったので、 それを使うことで壺を体当たり破壊できたり、攻撃的な生き物をやっつけることができることに気付くまでに いくつもの島を渡り歩いてしまったｗ 途中、ゲーム内通貨を使用して体の色を変更できるパネルを見つけたりしたが、所持通貨がゼロだったので 「どうやって通貨を入手するのかわからないけど、まぁそのうち手に入るんでしょうね」 と思っていた。 実は、壺を見つけたら片っ端から体当たりしておけば最序盤から通貨を集めることができたとはね！ｗ 火の玉みたいなものを撃ってくる敵も、ただ避けてやり過ごしていたけどこっちから攻撃もできることにそこで気付いた。 この敵と一緒に閉鎖空間に閉じ込められて、全部の敵を倒さないと扉が開かないというイベントが発生して初めてダッシュの用法を知ったぜ☆ でも逆をいえば、そういうイベント以外ではダッシュを必ずしも使わなくてもゲームが進行するという意味にもなる。 バトルはゲームの中核を担っておらず、あくまでオープンワールドでの探し物にフォーカスしているので探索が好きな人にとってもオススメの内容だ！ それから、3Dのゲームでは一定条件下で画面に酔うことがある人間として、「自動カメラ機能OFF」を選択できるのはすごくありがたい。 これができるだけで、TPS目線の3Dゲームはかなり酔い率が下がる！ 欲を言うと、もう少しだけカメラを引きにすることもできると嬉しいかな？ 屋内だとカメラが壁に埋まってしまうこともあるため、キャラクターとカメラの位置を自動調整にしているのだとは思うけれど、 周囲を見渡して何かを探すことが多いゲームなので、もっと視野を広く取れると嬉しい場面が多い。 しかし総評としては、予想通りの「私の好きな要素ばかりで構成されているゲーム」だとわかったので以下の人にオススメしたい。 ・爬虫類/ヤモリが好き ・パズルアクションアドベンチャーが好き ・バトルはあってもなくても良いが、難しすぎない方が好き ・探し物が好き 当てはまる項目が多い人はきっと楽しめると思う！ [h1]It's packed with everything you love about geckos![/h1] As a reptile lover, and naturally a gecko lover, I bought it immediately on release day! Moreover, the puzzle adventure genre also suits my tastes. "This game is made up of all the elements I love!" is my impression. The action features include the protagonist being a gecko, allowing them to cling to and crawl on walls and ceilings. More impressive than a ninja! Up, down, left, right, ignoring gravity, completely unrestricted! They can easily climb and descend even the steepest cliffs! With this in mind, hidden artifacts are placed throughout the game, making them quite difficult to find. However, I think that's part of the fun. I didn't understand the effect of "dash" in the initial controls section, so I wandered across many islands before realizing that I could use it to smash pots and defeat aggressive creatures. Along the way, I found a panel where I could change my character's color using in-game currency, but I had zero currency, so I thought, "I don't know how to get currency, but I guess I'll get some eventually." Actually, I could have collected currency from the very beginning by just smashing into every pot I found! I also realized that I could attack enemies that shoot fireballs, which I had only been dodging. I finally learned how to use dashing when an event occurred where I was trapped in a confined space with these enemies, and the door wouldn't open until I defeated them all. However, this also means that you don't necessarily need to use dashing outside of such events to progress through the game. Battles aren't the core of the game; it's focused on finding things in the open world, so it's recommended for those who enjoy exploration! Furthermore, as someone who sometimes gets motion sickness from 3D games under certain conditions, the ability to select "Automatic Camera Function OFF" is incredibly helpful. Just being able to do this significantly reduces the likelihood of motion sickness in third-person perspective 3D games! Ideally, it would be nice if the camera could be zoomed out a little more. I understand that the camera position is automatically adjusted to prevent it from getting stuck in walls indoors, but since this game involves a lot of searching around, a wider field of view would be appreciated in many situations. However, overall, I found it to be exactly as I expected—a game composed of all my favorite elements—so I would recommend it to the following people: ・Those who like reptiles/geckos ・Those who like puzzle action-adventure games ・Those who don't mind if there are battles or not, but prefer them not to be too difficult ・Those who enjoy searching for things If many of these apply to you, I think you'll definitely enjoy it!

Very pleasant and comfy game. It's short and sweet, very chill. My play time could've been cut down more had I not decided to collect everything cause I wanted to keep playing. The aesthetic and movement of the gecko are what drew me in and it delivered. The music is absolutely fantastic and really reinforces the mystical yet chill atmosphere. After playing I wish there was an option to always sprint or toggle sprint/run because it felt like I rarely needed to go at base run speed. The game still needs a bit of tweaking though, a lot of awkward texture business going on. In some instances walls weren't semelessly connected leading to seeing under the world or to other parts of a maze. I think the worst offender is definitely the pop-in of textures though. I had the quality on high but it seemed like textures would load in only when you were quite close which was kinda jarring but I didn't really mind.

Love the world design, gameplay, and art style. The puzzles were pretty engaging and for once, this open world game was not plagued with the issue of having uncountable collectibles that are completely tucked in the tiniest crevasses. Most of the relics can be seen without having to search too hard, pointing the player to figure out how to get to them, or are placed in conspicuous areas that are empty, so the player is prompted to look closer to find the reward. The game ran fine, though I did turn the graphics down just a little out of habit. Everything looks good, but things look a little rough in some of the wider and sweeping camera angles, where a lot of things are popping in and out of rendering and sometimes rooms and things can clip through and be seen. In addition, there are minor non-game breaking bugs throughout the game, mostly visual stuff like certain objectives not lighting up or cutscene triggers that seem to override each other. The worst one was one of the statues on the third large island not activating when I completed it, but all that required was a reload of the save. Overall, very good game! It's charming and unique, I think there are still some aspects that could benefit from polish but it's a roughness that is expected and arguably a charming factor of non-AAA games like this.

Very cute game! I loved the movement and exploring all the islands, and the length of the game was perfect. A short, enjoyable romp as an adorable little reptile! Quite easy to 100% too. I did get a bit annoyed sometimes by how the gecko interacts with certain ledges and glitching between/under objects. Overall though, a very fun time, and I LOVED the Hidden Cove (no spoilers)

A simple game that was fun to explore with vibrant colors throughout. I'd have more to report on this game, but every time I hit my right mouse button it just sounded like the little Gecko was going "YEA" or some variation of that. And frankly, that made me smile far too much. Brilliant!

This game is great. All the puzzles were intuitive enough to solve on my own! I'm a big fan of stories with little to no dialogue, and this is one of them. There is text and a story to follow, but the text is moreso to direct you to the next puzzle.

I had to leave a review for this game ASAP, it deserves all the praise it gets and more. It's a wonderful adventure where the sole act of getting around is a pure joy, it's a stress free experience gamers of any skill level can enjoy, not to mention the beautiful soundtrack and visuals too. -- Highly recommended, it's like i don't want it to end.

scuttle around and chase bugs

this game put me into the mind of a gecko bc i kept jumping off cliffs to try and eat bugs its also just a really fun little puzzle platformer, i liked it a lot. i really liked the last section of the game as well. very cool. Bearded Bgods when tho......

Great game with some pretty awesome graphics. The story is short and pretty cryptic, but it fits well. I was able to 100% the game very quickly and there isn't really any replay value, which is a shame but it was still a good experience. If you are on a budget maybe wait for a sale but otherwise I recommend it.
