Game Description

The game is straightforward—a mix of jumps, spins, and puzzle-solving across colorful, themed worlds. The remaster updates graphics and controls without losing that old-school charm. Perfect if you’re into casual platformers with a bit of retro flair.
What’s Croc Legend of the Gobbos Remastered about?
It’s basically a throwback to simpler platforming days but with a smoother camera and sharper visuals. You navigate 45 levels through snow, lava, caves, and more. Ever missed a jump by a pixel and felt the sting? Yeah, this game has those moments. But it’s easy enough to pick up—even if you’ve never met Croc before. Plus, it’s free to play, which makes trying it out a no-brainer.
Gameplay and controls
The controls have been modernized from the ’97 original, so you won’t want to toss your keyboard in frustration. Croc uses a classic spin attack and tail whip to deal with enemies.
