About
GeckoShop is a Sandbox Shop Simulator + Creature Collector, where you manage your own shop, selling all the different varieties of geckos!
"Your dream of having your own Petshop finally comes true. Get cozy and have a fun time collecting and selling lizards, or grind hard and be the next millionare on this island!"
You'll have to:
Deal with customers, set your own Prices.
Keep the store clean and working, or get Employees to do it for you!
Explore the small open-world city, with People to interact with, Quests and other things at every corner.
Find Shells and ancient Artifacts on the beach to fill the museum, to unlock even more content as you go.
Accept Quests from various NPCs on the island.
Catch Thieves trying to steal from your shop.
Decorate and upgrade your store, however you want.

You can sell your pets, or turn your Shop into a zoo!
There are hundreds of geckos for you to unlock, in 4 rarities. Through opening chests, mutating geckos in the Lab, Vending machines, and through sidequests.
Buy and open different Boxes, to get random Geckos from that set, and if you're lucky enough you might even find a Super rare gecko.

Hire Employees to assist you to sell pets and products, clean trash from your store, and catch thieves before they can steal anything.
Keep your shop small or upgrade it to the maximum, make a giant warehouse full of rare items and animals.
Collect Trophies to display in the Backroom of your Shop, to keep track of your Progress.

The City is full of Surprises! Check out the Lab, where "Zippy Joe" made a machine to mutate 5 geckos into another one, and with some luck you might even get a Lab-exclusive gecko (very rare, they sparke in rainbow colors!)
Go to the Wrenchshop, and talk with "Bolt" about upgrading your shop, or go to the Paintshop and let "Doodle" paint your whole Shop.
Get yourself a Companion from the Petshop, or race against other geckos!
And dont forget to get a Burger from the restaurant next to the Beach ;)
You might want to go treasure hunting, or collect shells and ancient artifacts to keep the museum growing.
Or maybe you want to catch fishes all day long and forget about your customers!
Sell your fishes to "Skipper", but don't worry, you'll see in your Collection which fishes you've already catched, and which ones are missing.

It's a really fun and addicting, in a good way. The game also works on low end computers so you don't really have to worry about not being able to run it.
Sequel looks super cool but i do NOT trust the dev after what they pulled with this one. This one was still super buggy and heavily lacking in content last I played, and they're already abandoning the people who paid for it. Edit: Steam would not give me a refund despite playing it only for 27 minutes at launch, but just know that I would have definitely refunded it if I could!
Love the game and idea but it got abandoned in a preview state of 0.2.x version in favor of selling a sequel to everyone which could have most likely and easily be an update to this game as a 0.3.x or even 1.x release. Developer seems to be more driven by greed than anything given that the solution was to just give owners of GeckoShop a discount when getting the sequel instead of well giving us what we paid for aka a functioning fully released game but here we are with a sequel that will most likely also end up never seeing a 1.0 release, that wont use steam EA cause that could be bad for sales if it shows the dev has abandoned the game. Most of all the sequel will probably also get dropped for either yet another sequel or some other game the dev would like to do rather than it. Have to say this might have been one of the worst purchases i made on steam.

Love this game, but every time I move the cash register, the game crashes. I lost a lot of progress because of this. Please fix it, otherwise, amazing game!
Dev abandoned the game, said he's gonna make a second one instead. Told everyone who owned the first one they'd get the second one for free, but that seems very much sketchy, and the entire situation is just bad all around. Very likely abandonware, don't expect a second game at all.
Happy to see gecko shop is getting redone instead of abandoned,thank you dev for listening. However,I still think gecko shop 1 should still be taken out of beta before focusing on gecko shop 2.
I didn't expect to love this game as much as I do. the geckos are so cute and I love opening the boxes!! i could do that all day long. there's more to do beyond the shop... money is pretty slow to make though. and you typically end up spending the money that you earned to buy geckos and sand again. shells are a nice way to farm without spending anything, but you get $20 for most of the shells. rare shells are $1000, and they are RARE. I'M HAPPY THE CARS CAN'T ACTUALLY HIT YOU!!! buying the red sand guarantees you over $100, but higher level gecko boxes can get you some equally priced geckos at worst buuut even so...is the game worth $10? I dunno. i like it a lot, but it's really buggy. like way buggier than some free games. I realize there's more updates coming and very active devs removing bugs as they're reported. i wish this version were a demo, but for what the game is, I really enjoy it. I just slightly regret paying for it.
There are far, far too many bugs and ways to softlock yourself. The fact that the people who made this made a half baked game and left it to make a Gecko Shop 2 instead of actually finishing and ironing out the rest of it... I'd just save your money, I'll be real.
Reallly cute game, loved it and spent a lot of time into it, sad to see it fall off with all the bugs and issues.
Its a cute little game with a fun style and a silly theme.
