Tail ‘Gator Overview
Tail 'Gator is set in the kingdom of Moberry, where the alligator Charly must confront the dragon warlord Basso Gila. The game is organized into five distinct areas, each containing several levels that can be approached in a non-linear fashion.
Charly's primary attack is a tail whip, whose effectiveness is tied to a power meter. Health is represented by a heart system, which is reduced upon contact with enemies or environmental hazards. Scattered throughout the stages are treasure chests that must all be opened; these provide randomized items such as health restoratives, screen-clearing bombs, or stat boosts.
Levels conclude when the player reaches the exit, which is locked until the final chest containing its key is found. Boss encounters appear periodically. The early areas feature varied environments including land, air, cave, and underwater settings.
