Sights & Sounds Almost too cute [*] Sometimes it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly where a game's artistic influences come from. That's certainly not the case here. This is all Wind Waker all over. Just check out all the big, expressive, cel-shaded faces, verdant environments, and watery surroundings [*] The only real difference is that here, everyone is an adorable animal [*] I didn't really mind the copy/paste nature of the visuals; I actually found the game's tendency to lean heavily into the cartoonish cuteness enhanced the experience [*] With that in mind, you may be wondering: Is the OST more in that "epic" orchestral Zelda vein, or does it, too, aim for cute? Well, it's definitely the latter. Be prepared for a suite of cheerful keyboard/guitar and light percussion typified by xylophone, clapping, and snapping [*] Altogether, it's clear from a presentation standpoint what the devs were going for: a kid-friendly, cozy, heartwarming sort of action-adventure game Story & Vibes Growing up [*] Like the title suggests, you assume the role of the nominal Lil Gator (apparently unnamed). Before his sister (also apparently unnamed) went off to school, the two of them used to go on little play adventures starring the Lil Gator as the hero while his sister acted more or less like a DM: pathing out quests, inventing enemies, and creating a long-running story [*] She's back in town to visit, but unfortunately, she's bogged down by an important project that she's cramming to finish. Undaunted, Lil Gator enlists the help of his friends to create an adventure so inspiring that his big sister will have no choice but to participate [*] Their plan is to get every kid in town in on the adventure. Using various methods (mostly fetch quests and merely asking nicely), he sets about the path of recruiting everyone to build a gigantic castle on the island town's playground [*] As you might expect, though, things don't necessarily wind up working out smoothly. Big Sis is dedicated to her project and doesn't want to play until she manages to wrap up her schoolwork [*] The end result is a tale about growing up, respecting others time, and understanding that you can't always get what you want. It's not really so much a coming-of-age tale as it is a small object lesson about maturing a little bit and becoming more understanding of others [*] The general thrust of the narrative reminded me of a slightly more kid-oriented version of A Short Hike . In both, you play a cute little animal in a short adventure who winds up maturing a bit thanks to a pithy, emotional lesson [*] Unsurprisingly, the vibes are as cute, lighthearted, and chill as can be Playability & Replayability Kiddy quests [*] Every character you encounter as you embark on your adventure has some sort of recruitment quest for you to complete. The vast majority are fetch quests, but others may ask you to defeat enemies, craft items, buy something, solve disputes, or complete other tasks. Some can even be recruited by simply speaking with them [*] In order to find all these friends, you'll need to be able to traverse the scenic environments. Besides running, of course, you'll need Zelda-influenced traversal in the form of climbing, gliding, and swimming. Your swimming and climbing can be upgraded using special bracelets, so be on the lookout for those. Gliding can be upgraded as well, but not until the post-game [*] There isn't combat in the game in any real sense. You do get weapons, but considering that all your enemies take the form of cardboard cutouts, they don't pose much of a threat [*] Getting around can be a little frustrating until you get your bearings. There is no map in your inventory, so you'll need to use signs and park maps to figure out which way you're headed. There is an unlockable fast travel service (be on the lookout for whales), but there aren't many locations to choose from. I think the intent is that you just explore and figure it out on your own, but it can still take Lil Gator some time to waddle from A to B [*] Even if you don't manage to recruit all the town's kids or get all the upgrades, you'll have the opportunity to do so post-game. You'll even get a special item capable of pointing you towards the remaining characters you haven't found yet [*] With the short 3-5 hour runtime (depending on how much of a completionist you are), this would be a pretty easy title to pull out and replay if you're looking for something cute and unchallenging. However, after 100%ing the game and remembering that I have similar games like Smushi Come Home on my backlog, I think it may be a while before I consider a revisit Overall Impressions & Performance Quick reprieve [*] While this isn't a terribly impressive or exciting title in terms of gameplay, I can still see its value. It looks nice, provides a few smiles, and doesn't waste your time. I could see it as a great game to co-play with a kid or younger sibling if you have one [*] If you don't though? It's still a nice change of pace if you need a break from more challenging or violent titles. The cozy game crowd will love this one regardless [*] Ran flawlessly on the Steam Deck. That platform is excellent for these little bite-sized adventure titles Final Verdict 6.5 /10. If you want a little nibble of a Zelda-flavored snack that plays well, finishes quickly, and doesn't test your brain or your reflexes, you'll get some enjoyment out of this one. Given the quick runtime, though, maybe wait for a sale

I discovered this game the week my grandmother passed. It was the best distraction each night and gave me a sense of comfort. A gentle reminder that everything will be okay and to just let go once and a while. I had a blast riding around on a skateboard as a lil gator.

A sweet and touching love letter to bygone times. If you grew up with age gap siblings/cousins; if you've ever gone into the woods with the neighborhood kids to play pretend; if you just want to remember being a kid; this is the game for you. Creative, silly, simple fun. Doesn't overstay its welcome, doesn't overreach beyond what it's capable of or try to force emotions. Just a really well made game that completely nails the basics into a plywood creation greater than the sum of its parts.

Lil Gator game is special. Its a game that can be finished in less then 3 hours, hell I 100 % completed it in 5 hours. The gameplay isn't deep and the story its trying to tell isn't something world bending with deep character motivations. Usually any of those things would be critique points, in this game they are all massive compliments. The vibes in this game are perfect, its relaxing, doesn't pressure you ever, there is no fail state, and it constantly rewards you for being a good person. In lil gator game you play out as a kid trying to connect with people around you. Playing through this it constantly made me realize how jaded I have become at times, I was constantly ready for the game to punish me or to teach me lessons that frustrate me in real life. But the game does its best to make you feel save and rewarded. Every time I thought a choice wouldn't work out, or I wouldn't be able to do something, the game would show me that its alright to think or act the way that I do. There is no map in this game, it uses excellent game design to lead you around the map, every where you go is correct and I constantly felt like I was having an adventure and exploring for fun as if I was young again. No other game comes even close to making me feel this accepted as a person, let alone what real life has to offer. It covers difficult topics we all eventually are made to face, they are lessons I constantly need to remind myself no matter how many times we hear about them. It offers a very polished experience that is fun to play through, it has funny and well written dialogue, it had a very good concept of what it wants to do and executes on that wonderfully. Even after finishing it 1 time you can probably come back to this every couple of years just to have fun and explore, all of this offered at in my opinion a very reasonable price. In the end I give Lil Gator game my highest recommendation possible. I think almost anyone can enjoy this game and that this is something most people should experience.
