Zippy Gecko
3 arcade mini-games, no internet needed
What to expect
Zippy the gecko has the fastest tongue in the jungle… and an endless appetite! Three action-packed arcade mini-games, rounds of one or two minutes, and a new leaderboard every week to prove you’re the quickest.
- Frenzy: swipe and Zippy dashes off, gulping down everything in his path. Chain combos, pick your powers and stand up to the hornet boss!
- Free Fall: keep your finger down and Zippy dives faster and faster between branches and spider webs. Skim three obstacles to trigger TURBO.
- Tongue Pool: Zippy sits in the middle, tongue at the ready. Send bugs flying into each other and grow the chain: ×2, ×4, ×8…
- A short tutorial walks you through each move before your first round.
- Zippy’s tail is his life: the first hit costs him his tail… the second one ends the round!
- For each game, a weekly Game Center leaderboard (reset every week) and an all-time best.
- Play without internet, and never an ad in the middle of a round.
Help and questions
How do I restore my purchases?
In the game: Settings › Restore purchases, with the Apple Account you used to buy them. No Ads, the Starter Pack and the Golden Outfit come back. Fireflies, revives and the Firefly Jar are used up in the game: they cannot be restored.
How do I remove the ads?
With the No Ads purchase, or with the Starter Pack that includes it (in the Shop). There is never an ad in the middle of a round, and videos that give bonuses are always optional.
How do I replay the tutorials?
In the game: Settings › Replay tutorials.
Do I need internet to play?
No: all three games work offline. Internet is only used to show ads and to send your scores to the Game Center leaderboard.
How does the leaderboard work?
If you’re signed in to Game Center, each round sends your score to the weekly leaderboard (reset every week) and to the all-time leaderboard, under your Game Center nickname. To sign in: iPhone Settings › Game Center.
I changed phones and my progress is gone
Progress is saved only on your phone (no account, no server). Permanent purchases can be restored with “Restore purchases”.
How do I change my ad choices?
In the game: Settings › Privacy and ads. For ad tracking: iPhone Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
Privacy
The game asks for no account, no name and no email address. Your progress stays on your phone. The game is free thanks to ads provided by Google AdMob, which processes certain data from your device according to the choices you make in the consent form and in Apple’s tracking request. If you are signed in to Game Center (Apple), your scores appear on the leaderboards, under your Game Center nickname.
