The developers of Lil Gator Game, MegaWobble and Playtonic Games, have announced an exciting new "game-sized DLC" called In The Dark. This expansion promises to extend the whimsical and joyful adventures that captivated fans over two years ago when the game first launched. The loyal fanbase of Lil Gator Game, which has garnered a remarkable 99% positive rating on Steam, can look forward to another expansive journey.
For those unfamiliar with Lil Gator Game, it's a delightful 3D platformer where players embody an endearing alligator exploring a series of islands and assisting newfound friends. The game draws visual inspiration from the Zelda series and the absurdity of Yakuza, contributing to its widespread acclaim.
MegaWobble recently unveiled that In The Dark will feature a new setting as expansive as the original island expedition, but this time set in mysterious underground caves. An update on the game's Steam page dated January 15, 2024, introduced this new adventure, complete with a trailer showcasing Lil Gator navigating the underground world. The trailer highlights various thrilling activities such as zipping along mine cart tracks, gliding past subterranean waterfalls, and scaling massive stalagmites.
In addition to exploring these new areas, Lil Gator will have access to exciting new weapons and toys. The trailer reveals a mining pick for breaking through stone and a staff that Lil Gator skillfully twirls like a baton.
The charm of Lil Gator Game lies in its diverse characters and their quirky quests, and the In The Dark expansion continues this trend by introducing new companions. The trailer teases encounters with a devilish pig, an aloof lizard, a bear in plaid, and a flamboyant bat. While the personalities of these new friends remain a mystery, their presence adds to the anticipation of the expansion.
Although no specific release date has been set for In The Dark, the developers have assured fans that they will provide further updates via social media as the launch nears. The team's commitment to releasing the expansion "when it's ready" reflects their dedication to delivering a high-quality experience that lives up to the expectations of Lil Gator Game's dedicated community.
