(Gamepad recommended)

Use arrow keys/gamepad joystick for movement. You'll move fast when you're sticking to walls, and you'll move slowly in the water. (Geckos are a lot better at climbing than at swimming)

Use the spacebar or "A" button on gamepad to boost. (If you're on gamepad, you can actually use any button you want.) Boost into the Piranhas to attack them.

Earn bubbles from defeated Piranhas to restore your health and oxygen. Don't suffocate!

Help this broken-hearted lizard save his friend the axolotl!

Note that the optimization for mobile devices is still in-progress, it’s playable on phones but it needs to be improved. It should run fine on most desktops. If you're on mobile, give it a go anyways! Just expect a frame drop here and there.

This game takes roughly 5-10 minutes to complete, depending on your skill level. I sorta want to see some people try to speed run it and abuse the movement tech I designed for the Gecko.
