This is a really fun little cozy 3d platformer with a wholesome story. Enjoy an afternoon with little gator as he builds an army of friends at the playground while he tries to figure out why his older sister doesn't want to play with him much anymore.

The overall gameplay loop is a ton of fun as you hop around the islands, talk to friends and do quests for them to convince them to join you at the playground. You'll destroy cardboard monsters and collect paper to craft new hats and weapons to help you on your journey. But you'll also do unique things like starting water pumps, catch a bug, take our ninjas and help friend talk to each other to solve their issues.

The game can be a bit wordy with no voice acting but most of the writing is very fun and silly. But there were times I was just cycling through the dialog to move on and keep playing.

I also wish there was more in the way of navigation help, like a map or waypoints. There are little boards with the island posted around but it's not super helpful. Luckily it's not a huge space to explore and the game isn't very long so it's not a huge issue. If the island was any bigger though, I could see it being a problem.

If you like cute, 3d platformers, then I think you'll find a lot to like about this one. If you don't, you may still like the overall wholesome feel of this game. It's a great palette cleanser from a darker game.
