Playtonic Games, which is made up of a smattering Rare expatriates, is bringing a new platformer to Nintendo Switch via its publishing arm Playtonic Friends. It’s called Lil Gator Game and it’s being developed by MegaWobble. You can see it in action in this reveal trailer:
From Playtonic:
Under development by brand new indie team MegaWobble, 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 & 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.
As you can see in the trailer, the game has a definite Wind Waker/Breath of the Wild vibe in terms of its aesthetic and control scheme, respectively. At least, that’s what it seems like from the footage shown. Lil Gator Game definitely has a whimsical vibe perfectly in line with Playtonic’s previous work with games like Yooka-Laylee. Lil Gator Game is slated to launch in 2022.
