History VideoGame / LilGatorGame

* ApatheticClerk: The spotted hyena working as an ice cream vendor (referred to as "[[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Part-Timer]]") is rather unenthusiastic about their job and is not amused when Lil' Gator offers to pay confetti for the ice cream as opposed to three dollars as it costs.

* AllLowercaseLetters: Whenever Lil Gator talks in the demo, he's speaking in this manner, emphasizing how young he is.

* VisualPun: Sierra, one of the kids playing ninja, will make shuriken out of paper if you give her 500 bits of scrap : she's a crane doing origami.

* ApatheticClerk: The spotted hyena working as an ice cream vendor is rather sarcastic and unenthusiastic about their job. They are not amused when Lil' Gator offers to pay confetti for the ice cream as opposed to three dollars as it costs.

* LivingMemory: While exploring the small island that the demo is set on, Lil Gator can interact with memories of himself and his big sister playing pretend when they were younger.

* ItemCrafting: After collecting a sword (stick) and shield (pot lid) in the demo, in order to complete his hero outfit, Lil Gator is taught how to transform the cardboard shreds from the "monsters" he's defeated into a hat. Once that's accomplished, he can also create other items from cardboard, including a stuffed doll that enables him to safely fall from any height via RagdollPhysics.

* Hammerspace: ''Some'' of Lil Gator's equipment, such as his ragdoll, his bracelets, and his currently equipped "sword", shield and hat, are displayed on his character model. Non-equipped tools and quest items (such as the pot from the tutorial's fetch quest), however, play this trope straight.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Billy the blue whale is the only one of the FunnyAnimal cast who doesn't have a humanoid design and is pretty much a CartoonWhale, right down to being confined to water.

* NoNameGiven: The monkey vendor who sells magic bracelets doesn't introduces himself, and his speech bubble shows ???? as the name anytime you encounter him around the island.
** [[spoiler:After getting all of the bracelets, the monkey vendor will also move into the playground town, where you can talk to him and finally learn his true name (supposedly).]]

* ImprobableInfantSurvival: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Simon, a climbing enthusiast. When Lil Gator asks him if falling is dangerous, Simon assures him that it is, in fact, dangerous. However, "as we all know, in video games , children are invincible!!"

* MagicFeather: Throughout the game, you'll find a monkey vendor who sells magic bracelets that are implied to imbue their wearer with the stamina to climb to greater heights. After he sells off the last one, the vendor reveals [[spoiler:that they really do nothing...and Lil Gator realizes that he had all the strength to climb anywhere all along, leading to him gaining infinite stamina.]]
