Gex Enter The Gecko is a platformer released in 1998 for the Game Boy Color. The game centers on controlling Gex, a wisecracking gecko, as he navigates through various themed levels filled with enemies and obstacles. The main objective is to collect hidden items and defeat foes while progressing through different stages to ultimately thwart the antagonist's plans.
The pace of the game is moderately fast, requiring players to time jumps and attacks carefully to avoid hazards and enemies. A unique mechanic in this platformer is Gex's ability to cling to walls and ceilings, adding a vertical dimension to the traditional side-scrolling gameplay. This feature allows for creative level design and varied player movement.
Distinctive elements include its humor-infused narrative and diverse environments, ranging from futuristic cities to ancient temples. The game’s blend of platforming challenges with quirky character animations and dialogue sets it apart within the Game Boy Color library.
