Playtonic Friends will publish MegaWobble-developed Lil Gator Game for Switch and PC via Steam in 2022, the company announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via Playtonic Friends:
Lil Gator Game is built around the idea of uninterrupted exploration and child-like whimsy, with 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 tool-box 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.
Born from the MegaWobble team’s shared experience as gamers, not purely as developers, Lil Gator Game focuses on a wholesome, enjoyable experience built around the very concepts of friendship and helping each other.
“We’ve talked a lot this year about what attracts us to new projects and it really boil down to one thing—finding games WE want to play and in a lot of cases wish we’d come up with!” said Playtonic Friends CEO Gavin Price in a press release. “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.”
