#LATER ALLIGATOR CODE#

The mini-games were created to use simple concepts, in order to be easier to code and design. SmallBü would animate, pitch ideas and write, and Pillow Fight would build prototypes and program the game. A few months later, SmallBü pitched the idea for Later Alligator to Pillow Fight, and work on the game was started. The developers had met previously, where the idea of creating a game had been mentioned. The game began as a collaboration between SmallBü Animation and Pillow Fight. Later Alligator was announced on November 29, 2018, with a set release date of Spring 2019. Upon finishing the game, the player is able to restart the story with all their badges and puzzle pieces retained, giving them the opportunity to play the mini-games they missed and collect the remaining badges to achieve the best ending.

When the clock reaches 8:00 PM, the player will be transported to the game's final mini-game, with the game's ending determined by the number of badges obtained. Collectible puzzle pieces can also be found scattered around the different environments, which are used in a later mini-game.Įach time the player plays a mini-game or travels to a different area, time passes on the in-game clock. Players will be awarded a badge bearing a family member's likeness upon completing their associated mini-game. These mini-games feature objectives such as achieving a set score on a pinball machine, solving a sliding puzzle, or completing a Tower of Hanoi style game about stacking pancakes. To gain more information, the player must complete requests or challenges offered by each character, which take the form of different mini-games. The player can travel to different areas of Alligator New York City to locate various members of Pat's family, asking each of them questions about themselves and the nature of the Event. Pat believes his family is going to murder him that night at something called 'the Event', and asks for help in finding out their plans. In Later Alligator, players control an unnamed individual who is hired by Pat, an anxious and paranoid alligator.
