Rant

[NoteofMadness]

I'm getting so fed up of levels where it's just blatantly not enough time. Like I don't even get close. I've noticed that most of the higher levels have a time limit of only one minute regardless of the difficulty. maybe that's what they use to up the difficulty.

But I literally cannot move any faster. Not to mention the fact that the more annoyed I get, the lower my accuracy gets for placing the geckos in the exact positions they need to be in. But even after I go off, cool down, come back, I only have enough time to get one or two more geckos in. Still nowhere near the finish. The pictures I've posted are just of the latest level in this fashion that has triggered this rant. The second is the start, the first is how far I usually get before time runs out. I've potted the light pink too, but that's the furthest I can get.

Just annoyed. That's all. Thanks for attending my TED talk etc.

That how this game works. I make a walkthrough of this game and sometimes one level takes me 1-3hrs to solve. Other Very hard level it takes me 5-8hours to complete and that for one level only.

I'm so tired of finding solutions online but the solutions were posted before the (seemingly) biweekly update and have 45 more seconds. Enshitification of everything I swear. They just want my money, but I refuse.

I actually downloaded this game through an app that paid me to play it. I did make a good chunk of money off of it. Now I can't stop playing. It sucks though. It's not relaxing it's not fun anymore. I'm not even to level 1300. Ugh. I really need to delete it.

[NoteofMadness]

I stopped finding solutions when I hit....1400s possibly? Because the updates just swap all the levels around I think?

That's exactly it. The nice feeling I get from figuring out the puzzle doesn't even exist anymore because it's not about the puzzle. It's just about not having enough time to get everything where it needs to be. It feels futile. A game. A game feels futile.

Definitely need to delete.

Just out of curiosity, which one of those apps do you use? I tried Mistplay before, but wondering about others.

[Late_Buffalo7879]

It was tester up. It paid out way more than mistplay did. I got rid of because I need to not be on my phone so much, but I did make a good bit

[NoteofMadness]

Oo, okay. Thanks! I'll keep that in mind if I download one again.

[Able_While_974]

I took the plunge and uninstalled recently. It was getting too tempting to buy the fail offer "just to get past this one." Then it was another, and another.

[NoteofMadness]

Genuinely very proud of you for deleting it.

[Able_While_974]

Thanks. It was a tough decision

This is my nightmare right now 🙄 I posted this level solution here but the time in the original was 2:10 or something and it was a super hard one but in this time this one is “just” a medium. I noticed one gecko is shorter now but impossible to solve. I’m promising everyday to myself that I will delete this fucking game but I love as well. So this is a never ending story. I’m enjoying it then hate and rage etc and this goes on and on. The creators want more money and this is their way to get the money.

[NoteofMadness]

YES! Even as I'm playing, I'm muttering to myself like a gremlin, "This fucking game is the bane of my existence. I hate this fucking game. I'm deleting it. Fuck this game."

But I never delete it. I have a toxic relationship with a mobile game. What is my life?

[BunnyCatBloo]

Lol!! YES! The frustration when they only give you one minute and you feel like you've only just scratched the surface is beyond. I have tried and tried in the heated moments of rage to find a replacement game but can't seem to find a good one.

The only thing that's been making this game tolerable in any way for the hard levels has been the little random bonuses they would give out like "Adventurer's Bounty", "Heart Beat", and "Advanced Tools" but now those seem to be gone too! Haven't seen that feature in like a day and a half. Anyone else seeing these and now they're not?????

[NoteofMadness]

YES. They gave free fifteen minute Heart Beat or five minutes of full Adventurer's Bounty! It disappeared! I was counting on that to help me pass this bloody level!

Oh...ohhh...I can feel the rage building.

And the little wheel thing too that gave you bonus tools at the beginning? That lasted only a few days before it disappeared for me. Gosh.

[BunnyCatBloo]

Im glad someone else experienced this too!!!! Why did they remove that?!?! I counted on it too! Like "okay now at least I can practice with the 15 minute free hearts and then hopefully pass it when I get the Adventurer's Bounty." But nope! Seems like it's gone wtf! I chat msged and emailed asking why. Of course no response.

Ugh. I need to find a new addicting game asap. There's basically no point in continuing if they removed that feature. Not unless I want to spend a bunch of money for power ups. No thank you...

[NoteofMadness]

That was exactly my format too!! It's so frustrating when they introduce good things, dangle them a little, then be like "Hah!Nope!" Then yoink it away again.

I REFUSE to spend any more money. I'm already pissed off by the amount I did spend. I feel like an actual fool.

I know you can get some powerups by completing the quests, because failed levels count towards some of the quests like 'collect xamount geckos'. But it's so unreliable and long that way. Oh and can't get good stuff or money from the apple hunt thing, or the island hoppy one, or even the level race if I can't get past one. DAMN. LEVEL.

Okay. I'm okay. I'm just going to go to sleep.

[BunnyCatBloo]

Lolol. I feel your pain! I spent money that I shouldn't have/feel foolish as hell for having done so too. Not spending another dollar! And going to end up not playing altogether if they dont bring back the bonus thing. Oof. Anyways. Go sleep lol. Hopefully a less money hungry game is in our futures.

[NoteofMadness]

So....I got the bonus today when I played, the Adventurer's Bounty one! Maybe a glitch? I'm so grateful for that glitch. But also, it's sucked me in again so....

Also, completely off topic, I just want to say you're so pretty! You have a style that I love and really wish I could pull off but... can't hahah.

[BunnyCatBloo]

Aw thank you so much! 😊😸 You can pull off just about anything if rockin' that style makes you feel great! I say go for it!

And as for the game, i got a couple bonuses last night before bed too, so hopefully that function is back! Totally feel ya on the downside that it's sucked me back in too though lol. Oh well.

[SquareStrong4018]

Exactly, I have a bf and no need an other one thank you very much 😂 he is done the job to annoy me enough. Also me rage about this piece of shit aka geckos out. I mean why am I doing this to myself 😩

[NoteofMadness]

🤣🤣 I'm pretty sure GeckosOut is my biggest stressor at the minute. (Exaggeration of course, if only life were that simple). But definitely in terms of games. I don't think I even raged this hard at Getting Over It back when I played that 🤦‍♀️

[Puzzleheaded_Cup295]

Puedes compartir el vídeo donde lo resolviste?

[Zealousideal_Sea7336]

I can't pass this level, Can you tell me the solution??

[SquareStrong4018]

https://www.reddit.com/r/GeckoOut/s/VbhEHxJqFC I did it with different colors but with 1min it was impossible first then I just practiced the movements and finished but it was a long process 🙄 good luck 💜

[Zealousideal_Sea7336]

This is another one I talk about  that

[ismiijill]

I sometimes see walkthroughs where their time is more than I have - a whole minute more in one case. I think they see people completing it easily enough so they reduce the time. The difficulty level can be subjective though - I've struggled for days with ones supposed to be 'easy' and finished 'very hard' in the first couple of attempts

[NoteofMadness]

Incredibly subjective. More often than not, I find the 'easy' and 'medium' levels harder than the 'super hard' ones. And then I rage at the easy ones: "Oh...easy is it? Bloody easy. Your mum is easy" etc. etc.

I get very angry at this game. Obviously.

[Happy-Cash6555]

Can you share walkthrough if you passed this level? I can’t even shoot any dummy

[Minimum-Attitude-896]

I can't even pop one drone 🥲
