How Long is Lil Gator? Does It Have a New Game Plus?

One of the best indie games to come out of 2022 was definitely Playtonic Games and MegaWobble’s own open-world adventure title, Lil Gator Game. The cozy, kid version of Breathe of the Wild, this game really does hit a sweet spot for many gamers, as it’s a great way just to kick back, relax, and play pretend.

But because this is an indie title, does that work against the ambition of its open world? And how do things work after you’ve “beaten” it? Let’s explain how long Lil Gator is, if it has a new game plus, and even more.

How Long is Lil Gator? Does It Have a New Game Plus?

In the case of Lil Gator Game, we believe that for the low $19.99 price tag, it’s definitely a game worth picking up as it’ll give you quite a few hours worth of joy. Having completed the game entirely, at 100%, we estimated that the game took about five hours to complete fully, give or take.

Now, Lil Gator Game has a lot to do in its decently-sized open world. You have about 40ish characters to help and befriend, many enemies to dispatch, items to collect, and challenges to complete. Not to mention the various weapons and gear that you will collect by doing all of these various things.

Once you’ve finished the game’s main story, and have fully completed the little pretend fort that the characters have created, you’re actually thrown right back into the world with a new item that helps you locate each thing you haven’t completed. It’s very useful as it really allows you to get to that 100% much quicker, though you technically don’t have to use it if you care not to.

Once you’ve completed the game to its max, you’ll be prompted with some dialogue from your Lil Gator that everything has been finished. That’s when you’ll be able to return to Big Sis at the fort, and properly finish the game’s story. You don’t get anything special for completing the game, other than a “Thanks for Playing” screen.

It is worth pointing out that Lil Gator Game does not currently feature a new game plus mode. Though, it really wouldn’t make sense anyways as this title’s focus is on collecting items. But you are allowed to go back into your save as many times as you want and explore. You’ll just be at the point before you have that last talk with Big Sis.

So, that’s everything to know about how long Lil Gator is and if it’s got new game plus.
