\n\nMile 13 in the Desert of Doom is feared by all Geckos.\nAfter all, they know that evil things lurk there\n…but, Mile 13 is also home to the best donuts.
\n
Can you brave your fear of Mile 13 to munch on sweet treats?
\nDrag your finger on the screen to move our little gecko friend.\nYou can also use the mouse.
\nGood luck you’ll need it!
\nSuper fast paced and energetic. Clean graphics and a blasting soundtrack. It might be a bit too unforgiving for my taste; dying happens real fast and sometimes you don’t know what killed you. Just so much stuff going on at the screen. But that’s just personal preference, and the game is still great!

Simple but effective gameplay, a helpful and very quick tutorial, great graphics & a nice challenging game loop. Music and SFX are also solid!
\nI did play it on mobile too, which also handles really nicely. The way youve implemented a ‘grab area’ around the gecko works very intuitively, and helps make the player movement a lot nicer than if you’d just had a simple single-touch location.

Tons of juice and effects. I especially love the tail movement of the Gecko.\nI wish the music loop had slightly more variation, but I think it was clever to mute the music during the boss fight. It added some additional tension.

We should have the right to make mistakes ^^’\nJust give us 3 HP and slow down the game a bit and it would be close to perfection. I love the juice of the game and I would love to see more than few seconds before dying miserably x’)

\nVery fast gameplay and a bit unfogiving (what might be on purpose…)
\nIt seems to me, that it’s easier to play on slower computers, as it was ok on my working laptop, but nearly unplayable fast on my gaming pc…?
\nAnyways: very good game!

\none note is that the game is more difficult to play when the browser is running faster than 60FPS.

The bright green enemies stand out against the dark background, making it easy to focus on the action and distinguish targets. The cute gecko design adds personality and charm to the gameplay.\nWhile the minimalist background works for focusing on the action, it could benefit from a bit more texture or subtle animations to give the environment more depth. Adding small details, like moving shadows or ambient elements, could enhance the immersion without distracting from the core gameplay.\nThe game’s visual style is both fun and inviting, successfully capturing the feel of classic arcade shooters. The character designs are memorable, and the color palette is vibrant and engaging. You’ve created a delightful experience that draws players in with its charm and action-packed style!
