🛑 Obstacles in Gecko Out

As you progress through Gecko Out, you’ll encounter many unique obstacles and mechanics. Each one adds depth and strategy to the puzzle. Here’s a guide to all of them:

• 🦎 Stacked Gecko → Place the outside gecko into the hole first to reveal the stacked one behind it.
  
  
  
  
• 🦎 Multi Stacked Gecko → There may be inner geckos inside inner geckos!
  
  
  
  
• ❄️ Frozen Gecko → Free a frozen gecko by sending the number of geckos shown on the ice into their holes.
  
  
  
  
• 🧊 Frozen Hole → Break the ice on a hole the same way: fill the required number of geckos to unlock it.
  
  
  
  
• 🔐 Lock & Key → Locked geckos can’t move until you send geckos carrying the matching key color into their holes.
  
  
  
  
• 🪨 Stone → Break rocks by placing the required number of geckos into their holes.
  
  
  
  
• ❓ Hidden Gecko → Place the shown number of geckos to reveal the hidden gecko’s true color.
  
  
  
  
• 🎨 Color Path → Geckos can only travel across paths that match their color.
  
  
  
  
• 🔗 Connected Gecko → These geckos are linked end to end — all must be placed into holes one by one.
  
  
  
  
• 📦 Crate → Break crates by filling the required number of geckos.
  
  
  
  
• ✂️ Scissor & Rope → Cut ropes by sending the gecko carrying scissors into the hole.
  
  
  
  
• 🪨 Colored Stone → Clear these by sending all geckos of the stone’s color into their holes.
  
  
  
  
• 📦 Movable Box → Hold and drag to move boxes in the direction of their arrows.
  
  
  
  
• 🔄 Multi Color Hole → Holes that change color after each fill. Complete one color to reveal the next.
  
  
  
  
• 🚪 Sliding Gate → Opens once you place geckos into their holes.
  
  
  
  
• ⏱️ Time Bonus → Geckos carrying clocks add +20 seconds when placed.
  
  
  
  
• ➡️ Straight Gecko → These geckos only move in the direction of their arrow.
  
  
  
  
• ⭕ Permanent Hole → Once filled, the gecko remains in place permanently.
  
  
  
  
• 🪣 Dirty Gecko → Must be sent to the bucket first to be cleaned.
  
  
  
  
• 😴 Sleeping Gecko → Move the platform with hold & drag to guide them into the hole.
  
  
  
  
• 🪆 Matryoshka Gecko → Place them into the hole in order, from bottom to top.
  
  
  
  
• 🩹 Sliced Gecko → Connect the sliced pieces before sending them into the hole.
  
  
  
  
• 💣 Bomb Gecko → Send them to their hole before the timer runs out!
  
  
  
  
• 🎭 Masked Gecko → Their color is hidden. Try different holes until they fit.
  
  
  
• 🎆 Firework Gecko → Placing them clears starred blocks.
  
  
  
  
• 🦎➡️ Tail Stick Gecko → These geckos can only enter holes head-first.
  
  
  
  
• ⛓️ Tied Gecko → Break their chain by putting them into the hole.
  
  
  
  
• 👩‍👧 Mother Gecko → Must collect their baby geckos before entering the hole.
  
  
  
  
• Worker Gecko → Worker geckos put their cones on nearby grids.
  
  
  
  
• Medic and Sick Gecko → Move the medic gecko to the sick geckos.
  
  
  
  
• Hollow Gecko → Pass the geckos through each other. The transparent ones act as a doorway for other geckos — you can move them through!
   
  
  
• 🦎 Carrier Gecko → These geckos carry a hole on their backs! Before you can send them into their own holes, you must first fill the hole they’re carrying. Once that hole is filled, they’ll be freed — and then you can guide them into their own holes.

• 🪢 Rope Carrier Gecko → To solve a Rope Carrier Gecko, you must first guide the gecko into its own hole. Once it enters, the rope it was carrying will be released. After that, you’ll need to place additional geckos into their holes — the number on the rope tells you exactly how many.
  
  
  
  
• 🍎 Apple: Apples close the hole of the matching color based on how many apples are on the board. For example, if there are 3 apples on the board, collecting each one reduces the number on the hole. When all 3 apples are collected, the count reaches zero and the hole opens.

• 💨 Vacuum: Use the Vacuum to clear the holes on the board. Each time you clean a hole with the Vacuum, it removes the blockage and allows the geckos to move again. 

• 💨 Turret (Arrow & Bow): When the gecko carrying the bow turns to face a Tummy directly, the turret activates automatically, fires an arrow, eliminates the Tummy, and clears the path, this only happens when they are positioned face-to-face.

💡 Pro Tip: Obstacles often interact with each other. Study the board carefully and decide which to handle first — sometimes one move unlocks several paths at once!
