Playtonic Announces Publishing for Lil Gator Game

Playtonic’s publishing branch, Playtonic Friends, has been hard at work on getting BPM: Bullets Per Minute ready for its upcoming launch. However, with the launch coming next month, it seems that they are ready to announce their next project. The project, known as Lil Gator Game, actually looks like something they would develop themselves, and I’m rather excited about it. Here is what the press release has to say about Lil Gator Game.

“Under development by brand new indie team MegaWobble, Lil Gator Game is built around the idea of uninterrupted exploration and child-like whimsy. It’s a story not about noble heroes who changed the world or of wicked anti-heroes who learn the error of their ways, but of heroes who learn to be better friends without ever losing their heart of gold.

Employ a packed toolbox of toys and abilities to explore a giant play park spread across an island setting as you guide the Lil Gator as he climbs, jumps, glides, and flings himself from adventure to adventure, new friend to new friend.”

The CEO of Playtonic Friends, Gavin Price, commented on the new partnership, stating: “We’ve talked a lot this year about what attracts us to new projects and it really boils down to one thing – finding games WE want to play and in a lot of cases wish we’d come up with!

That really couldn’t be more the case with the guys at MegaWobble and the amazing world they’ve created with Lil Gator Game. From the first time we saw a few short gifs online, we were so impressed and it just made sense to get in touch with them. Turns out they are fans of all the same great games as us, shared a love of adventure platformers and so we decided to team up.”

Lil Gator Game will have a presence at this year’s Steam Next Fest, which begins on October 1^st, 2021. I am super excited to see what Lil Gator Game is all about. It looks adorable, and I’ve really been on a wholesome games kick lately. This seems like it will scratch that itch pretty nicely.
