Gator good Need More Gator Please . . . Will pay many many money, for more game like this. I have already Done the Snoot game. This has become an addiction I now have a hyper-specific need for anthropomorphic visual novels that melt my soul. CAVEMANON please keep making games. the world is better with these games in them. Thank you

Had to get Ending 1 to unlock the epilogue and now the barrel of my shotgun looks very kissable. The only thing I hate about this game is that there's not more of it.

Born too early to explore the stars. Born too late to explore the world. Born just in time to hug an anthropomorphic dinosaur girl in a Ren'Py engine game.

I Wani Hug that Gator is the latest VN from Cavemanon who are famous for making a Goodbye Volcano High rip off, that came out before GVH did, and was actually so much better. Cavemanon are my favourite example of how a bunch of anons with enough artistic skill, determination and the raw pettiness of "we can do way better than that so let's do it" can make true art regardless of inspiration. It's impossible to discuss I Wani Hug that Gator without bringing up the previously mentioned "ripoff before there was something to actually rip off" Snoot Game. As they are both short visual novels with 4 endings about a Human going to a school full of anthro-dino's and him falling in love with one. Also because personally speaking Snoot Game is probably my favourite visual novel of all time and I Wani Hug that Gator had massive expectations set for it just because of that. Did they meet or exceed those expectations? Well that's a difficult thing to answer so bare with me. I Wani Hug that Gator on it's own is absolutely worth the time and money. The story is gripping and most characters are well developed. The music and art are fantastic. Each ending is emotional, the worst ending left me in shock and the best ending made me cry like a little wuss. The themes and lessons are beautiful and meaningful to real life " Never stop trying to be a better person " "Have empathy for others" " Help others but not to the extent of them relying on you completely " " Let other make mistakes, learn from them and make up for them " " Try your best to make friends and/or find love but don't let them walk all over you ". The thing is I can say almost exactly the same thing about Snoot Game and that is FREE. One thing is that some characters are better written in 'Snoot' but the same is true for 'Wani'. It's difficult to draw a definitive conclusion when comparing the two. So where does I Wani Hug that Gator stand apart? Two big reasons: Higher Quality and Consistent Tone. Starting with the quality all of the art is original and not based of another design. The music range is much larger and more consistent with no joke or "purposefully bad" tracks. 'Wani' has full blown animations that are varied, perfectly integrated into the game and absolutely stunning. You can really tell this is where a lot of the budget and time has been spent. These animations are especially important to bring up as they tell certain parts of the story that the normal text based game-play just couldn't do as effectively. Shout out to the Ending 1 animation that left me open mouthed and completely shocked in a way that 'Snoot Game' didn't do as effectively. The Ending 4 animation also had me crying happy tears like an idiot. As for "Consistent Tone" it's necessary to bring up Snoot Game again because as much as it has a fantastically written story it can be very inconsistent. Snoot Game is funny because it makes tons of 4th wall breaking jokes, references and is filled to the bring with edgy and crude 4channer humour. That can also be a problem as it sometimes come out of nowhere and tries too hard. The endings for 'Snoot' also vary wildly in quality because the pacing can feel off and go from 0 to 100 real quick. I Wani Hug that Gator in comparison is much more down to earth and better paced. Each ending feels realistic based on the characters development or lack thereof based on the players choices. 'Wani' doesn't turn extremely violent at a moments notice that makes serious subject matter come off as laughably over the top. When 'Wani' makes jokes there's a time and place for it and the real life references are better placed as to not feel out of place or "4th wall breaking". The consistent music and pacing work together in 'Wani' to always set the mood and for moments to never feel out of place. To answer the original question of whether or not 'I Wani Hug that Gator' meets my exceedingly high expectations? Yes it absolutely did. Did it exceed them? Barely, as it is still very similar to 'Snoot Game' in a lot of ways. I do however believe that I Wani Hug that Gator is more technically proficient in presentation and with overall tone and pacing. It's a small difference to most but it makes a big difference to me. I'll say again I Wani Hug that Gator is absolutely worth the time and money. It is a beautiful and emotional piece of art. If you are at all unsure try the demo or even Snoot Game (it's FREE) to get a taste of what Cavemanon can do. I Wani Hug that Gator is the best game Cavemanon have made so far. That was a high bar to clear. I can't wait to see if they can do even better next time.
