Later Alligator may turn off some adventure fans with its minigame-heavy gameplay, but those willing to try something different will find a beautifully animated, wonderfully replayable and often hilarious experience.

Ruthlessly charming to a degree that renders minor quibbles negligible [insert alligator joke].

Later Alligator is the perfect Sunday afternoon game, many miles away from considerably more epic and demanding time-sinks, and most any player will want to return to its world to fully rinse the breadth of content to be found. Pillow Fight has made a real gem, and their outstanding creative instincts and sense of humor can be found in every clickable corner of the modest little world they’ve crafted. Overall, Later Alligator will love you, but inevitably leave you wanting more.

I have never been more invested in saving a video game character’s life, and I certainly didn’t expect to laugh as much as I did while doing so.
