For those who haven’t yet experienced Lil Gator Game, let me fill you in. It’s a delightful 3D platformer where players guide a cute alligator across various islands, undertaking whimsical quests and making new friends. The game blends visuals inspired by the Zelda series with the humor found in Yakuza games, earning it an almost flawless 99% positive rating on Steam.

The trailer reveals potential new friends for Lil Gator, like a mischievous pig, a laid-back lizard, a bear in plaid, and a showy bat. Despite no hint of a release date beyond the developer’s note of “when it’s ready,” they assure fans of more updates through social media as the launch nears.
