Lil Gator Game Is Getting a Huge Expansion
The beloved indie title, Lil Gator Game, is set to expand with a "game-sized DLC" titled In The Dark. Developed by MegaWobble and produced by Playtonic Games, this expansion promises to bring more of the whimsical adventures that have captivated fans since the game's release over two years ago.
Lil Gator Game is a charming 3D platformer where players take on the role of a delightful alligator exploring a series of islands and assisting new friends along the way. The game, which draws visual inspiration from the Zelda franchise and adds a touch of Yakuza's absurdity, has garnered a remarkable 99% positivity rating among its all-time user reviews on Steam.
The upcoming In The Dark expansion introduces an expansive underground world that rivals the size of the original island expedition. Announced via an update on the game's Steam page on January 15, 2024, this new setting promises to maintain the childlike whimsy of the base game. A trailer showcases Lil Gator navigating this mysterious underground environment through various means, such as riding mine cart tracks, gliding past subterranean waterfalls, and scaling towering stalagmites.
In addition to new environments, In The Dark will arm Lil Gator with new weapons and toys. The trailer reveals a mining pick for chipping away at stone and a staff that Lil Gator playfully twirls like a baton.
The charm of Lil Gator Game lies in its diverse characters and their zany quests, and the expansion continues this tradition by introducing new friends for Lil Gator to encounter in the underground world. These include a devilish pig, an aloof lizard, a plaid-clad bear, and a flamboyant bat. While the personalities of these characters remain a mystery, their inclusion promises more engaging interactions.
Although a specific release date for the In The Dark DLC has not been announced, the development team assures fans that it will be available "when it's ready." They also promise to keep the community updated through social media as the release draws near.
For those eager to continue their adventures with Lil Gator, In The Dark offers an exciting new chapter filled with exploration, new friends, and playful challenges in a beautifully crafted underground world.
