Lil Gator Game - #1 - This game is ADORABLE 

Hey, regarding the "don't stack rocks" thing. As an avid hiker I feel like providing context is important. There are specific places where hiking trails will cross rocky areas where the trail can be hard to follow. In these cases, the park rangers will often stack stones along the path of the trail at regular intervals to help guide people. It's very important not to disturb those stacks! In general, if you aren't a park ranger please leave stones where you find them. However, also please try to avoid disturbing stone stacks. Park rangers can remove any that don't belong.

I love the idea that while the older sister came up with D&D, (and before her somebody probably played board games with her), the KIDS came up with an immersive island wide video game. It's a bit of a passing of the torch thing. Also. Rocks Friends. Don't be ashamed of loving the Labyrinth. If you need us. Just call. For ANY reason.

I am terrified that this game is going to make me cry; it has feels written all over it

What a delight to hear Dan’s frog detective voice again, its so good

Another cute gator with a hat, Pat will have a friend! 🧢🐊 34:00 What a perfect little line 😄

I have a big feeling this game will break my heart, but so far: adorable, precious even!

I think *Flink* would have been a cute name for your lil gator.

3:31 Because Wolflink would just be silly.

This is precious and you playing it is even more precious. Perfect way to end this sunday.

This game is so cute and wholesome. Even more so with you two playing it, doing the voice acting and interjecting other funny, zany comments. And on the dialog, this is genuinely some of the best written, amusing and sometimes touching in-game dialog I can remember. I was keen to replay it when I found your series, but your walk-through gives it a new dimension and has been at least as fun. Thank you both!

Only just now starting the video, but I cannot express how delighted I am to see the two of you playing this gem!!!

Definitely getting A Short Hike vibes from the game, though with a lot more Breath of the Wild added in.

I adore today's video. The two of you chatting as you play *chef's kiss*.

So glad you two are playing this! Just finished it up the other week myself and it's hands down the most delightful game I've ever played.

How many game mountains have Dan and Carrie climbed at this point?

Day 8 of arbitrarily counting days. I know I said six yesterday, but I also said 6 on Friday. Not that I get the impression anyone cares. 2:35: I wish I had a big sibling like that. Instead, I was the big sibling tasked with making up fun stuff for the little brat. 11:35: The park authorities just don't want you having fun in places that could be dangerous if you slip or miss a jump or something. 25:30: I wonder how many bracelets you can collect. Which hits a limit first-the amount of crafting materials you can carry, the number of bracelets ??? is willing to sell you, or the space on Floyd's arms? 41:50: avery! is my favorite character. 0:55: I remember being afraid of the bar dome thing on the playground. I assume I fell off it and got hurt at some earlier point? 3:45: You could just portmanteau your names together. Carri-an or something. 6:55: Group projects are the worst. Especially when your lab partner drops out at the start of term and you have to feed the f*king fruit flies every eight hours yourself and they keep _dying off_ meaning that all your nights sleeping in the biology class building amount to nothing and you have to keep doing it over until you have enough failed experiments to pull _some_ kind of conclusion together from. 15:40: ...oh yeah! Good eye, Dan. 17:00: Not if it rains around here. Most of that stuff looks like cardboard. 21:15: "Only YOU can beat up forest fires and return with 15 flaming hearts!" 29:30: If Kingdom of Loathing has taught me anything, it's that you need a special goo potion to sneak into slime conventions. 33:55: "I know game developers who use subtext, and they're all cowards." -Garth Miyamoto 39:15: _Everyone's_ friends are smarter than them where their siblings are concerned. (Everyone's siblings, not everyone's friends' siblings.)

40:50. AVERY. 2 minutes in sin-bin for being TOO REAL ToT! And I completely forget when Dan said it, but I completely agree this has very "A Short Hike" vibes. just 3D.

This game is a love letter to Zelda and I love it

This is cute and all, but you could've named your hero Link Floyd and I'm kinda bummed you missed the opportunity.

35:30 *G Mod impact noises*

I love the name- But consider: Link Floyd.

"Kerrigan" that's a name i haven't heard in a looooooooong time.

CarriDan would have been a cute hero name... But Floyd it is.

Me and my friend went through this game it was so cute I love this game have fun

NOOOOooooooOOO! I DO NOT WANT TO BE SAD!

I feel that this game will end sadly. I think that Martin is correct though. If Floyd just asked, she might actually play instead of thinking she's in the way.

5 minutes in and I want to go call my younger brother 🥺🥺 Edit: 6 minutes in, big sis is off to school....yeah I'm pausing the ep to call my little brother

Is it just me or is the main character written as gender neutral?

23:08 did Carrie get that voice from the bottle fish in Alice: Madness Returns, or is it just a massive coincidence that it sound exactly the same?

I thought that Frog Detective was an excellent voice choice.

I'm Afraid i won't be watching this series, because the first minutes have convinced me I want to play it myself. Still, I'd like to leave a recommendation in case you like this kind of artstyle and direction for a game, try out "A Short Hike", you'll have a really nice time

You really missed out on the opportunity to be LinkDan, and become a real professional gator

3:16 I chose fish as my name

I was thinking naming combinations, but I got stuck in cardan The thing that sends power from the engine to the wheels xD

If you need a cool sounding combo name in the future, try "Cairdan"

Labyrinth is very good

Day 2 of wondering if Carrie would be up for a week-long, Other Dans Week vacation, in which Jones and/or Emmons take over the filming and editing.

D’awwwwwwww

i just beet this game it was sooo good

The gator isn’t even a gator it’s a crocodile it’s called a Cuban crocodile Cuban crocodiles gallop like kinda jumping not to high like 5 or 6 inches into the air

Dancarlink

What about "Darrie"?

Wait wait wait, you've been together for how long, and you don't have a ship name?

Cairdanlink

I LOVE this game!!! ^w^ And the devs are so~ nice!!

Carrie: "You have to take out the forest fires, before they burn down the place!" Me: "No, that was this other game you guys played. It had a similar color palette and promised a similar bittersweet tone, though."

Don't actually knock down rock stacks!!! Especially if you're not super familiar with the trail your on, they can be important markers for hikers. Let people more familiar with the area get them, so you don't knock down anything important

I like to imagine the little brother is Pat from Later Alligator and the older sister is Bea from Night in the Woods

So there's immediately a lot to love here, but the one thing that sticks out is that Lil' Gator's eyes aren't attached to their head. They just... float off in space, and it's perfect. I don't think I'd ever come up with that on my own.

It's like all the best things about exploration in Zelda. And with an incredibly cute aesthetic to boot. Love it!

This game is already kinda breaking my heart. I remember all too well that feeling of wanting to play and having everyone around me be too busy with grown-up stuff. I'm intrigued where the story is going but I just know that if I keep watching I'd best be prepared to have to have a big old cry at some point.

HECK yeah! I saw the vod of Barry playing this and it had you guys' energy all over it! Cant wait to see your adventure!

30:32 I get that reference! I’m such a nerd

I was thinking about how this game has a similar graphic and general vibe as The Short Hike. Good stuff. ^^

4:56 - missed opportunity (or perhaps implied) to note this is Link Floyd 😄

I cannot believe you missed the chance to go with Link Floyd!

4:51 I just realized it should have been "Green Floyd"

8:31 How old are these kids!?

i want to watch this but also i need to play this

This channel has an excellent history with alligators. Bea it in the last few years, or the Later Alligators.

I am so glad to see yall playing this, i finished it a few days ago and thought you 2 would love it

As soon as I heard this game, I thought "this looks adorable and I can't wait for Dan and Carrie to play it". Glad I didn't have to wait too long for it :) PS I was voting for "Danlinkarrie" for the name :P

On one hand, the bittersweet struggle of getting your friends to play with you like the olden times. On the other hand, cartwheeling frog and "if descent is hard, then why simon?"

This game is so special. I keep coming back to rewatch this whenever I feel down and it always helps. Thank you for this play through, so much

Interesting thing. I have heard it said that if you keep your body relaxed when falling, while it won't altogether prevent injury it can mitigate it. Maybe the ragdoll mechanic has some real world inspiration?

I read DW and my head went "distilled water", and then I wondered if that was a nickname, cuz he's a gator, all that without even considering "don't worry"

Holy magikarp, I’m getting this game! Thanks for making me aware of it!

The fact you missed out on "Danlinkerrie" makes me so sad.

They hold value to you so they hold value to me is basically how we ended up with our economy

i really like floyd as your hero name i think it fits very well! also the style and animation of this game is so good i love it

Dont forget to go into the settings to set the graphics from crisp to crunchy

4:30 My name ideas: Dalinkie or Carlinkan

Why does avery! Have an "!" in their name?

i love the ongoing theme of yall playing cute animal games

I was right there with Carrie on the 'dw'

oh my gosh this is incredible

Awwwwww I love it!

"it's not over yet" While I haven't seen this game before, I'm just gonna preemptively say this: I have terrible news.

💙

31:20 Yeah for me I always remember a line from the movie Bionicle: Web of Shadows and how Vakahma says to Matau "Don't worry. I have a plan!" right after they both leap from a really tall tower. It just sticks in my head so much that just how Vakahma Just emphasized the I, like you can tell it was italicized in the script.

YEEEEESSSS!!!! I picked this game up a week or two ago, 100%ed it twice, and was SERIOUSLY HOPING you'd play this game, ESPECIALLY on Sundays, so both of you could play it together! =D Thank you, thank you, thank you for playing Lil' Gator Game! =D

Gators and Playframe, name a more iconic duo

This is so adorable!!!

Omg the sibling feels in this…

This game seems so adorable, too adorable to not be sad later on. If it's not, that would be good, but from how cute it is so far I am suspicious. Can't wait to see you two continue this lovely gator game either way!! See y'all next Sunday!

You missed the opportunity to name yourself "Da-LinkCa" dan-link-carrie!
