I am actually feeling this cute little one-person developed platformer about being a Gecko. Perhaps I am simply in a temper for a movement-driven sport about exploring and doing puzzles (thanks, Zelda) however The Gecko Gods is cute.
Early footage of The Gecko Gods reveals its tiny protagonist stickily scaling partitions, full with pattering of tiny ft on stone. That is actually not all, I am going to be aware, as a result of the Gecko additionally leaps ahead and chomps down on bugs complete, crushing them into its maw complete like a real Gecko does.
The Gecko Gods is a exploration platformer, gentle on motion, about exploring a sequence of islands to resolve historical puzzles in mysterious stone ruins. The Gecko protagonist can keep on with issues. Not simply regular issues, like… the whole lot. Which is what you’d count on from a lizard with sticky ft however nonetheless—there’s loads of potential for puzzling when all of 3D house is open to you.
Designer Louis Waloschek emphasizes openness and freedom on the earth of The Gecko Gods. “Relaxed exploration? Head-scratching puzzle-platformer? Collectibles completionist? Uncover the lore of the island and all it has to supply, probe for the enjoyable of it for hours, or just play via the marketing campaign story,” says the shop web page.
Along with the open world there are additionally puzzle-based tomb areas—locations you go in for a deeper, extra direct puzzle expertise.

After the instant allure wears off, I am additionally fairly intrigued by the look of the contraptions and gear your Gecko can idiot round with. The trailer features a boat full with engine and sail that the little man can seize handles (along with his mouth) to begin, cease, and steer. Different sequences present the Gecko grabbing handles to rotate mirrors to resolve light-beam puzzles or activate railway-like platforms to experience on.
You’ll find The Gecko Gods on Steam, the place it is attributable to launch this yr. It is developed by Louis Waloschek and printed by Tremendous Uncommon Originals.
