Lokko: A New 3D Platformer from India's Appy Monkeys, Powered by Sony's India Hero Project
Appy Monkeys, an Indian game developer, in collaboration with Sony's India Hero Project, is bringing us Lokko, a vibrant 3D platformer. This exciting new title features cross-play functionality across mobile, PC, and PS5, with DualShock controller support on all platforms.
Lokko shines a light on the burgeoning Indian game development scene. The game boasts a robust level editor and a detailed avatar creator, allowing players to customize their experience. The core gameplay revolves around timely pizza delivery, adding a unique twist to the platforming genre, as players contend with the villainous Goobol food corporation.
Lokko's Appeal:
Lokko cleverly blends familiar elements from successful gaming franchises. Its character customization, level creation tools, and stylized low-poly visuals evoke the spirit of titles like Roblox, while simultaneously leveraging the power and reach of the PlayStation ecosystem. This combination positions Lokko as a compelling alternative within the platforming market.
The gameplay, while not revolutionary, is polished and engaging. Appy Monkeys' vision is promising, and the project showcases the potential of Sony's India Hero Project to foster innovative game development in India.
While a precise release date for Lokko remains unannounced (though expected sometime this year), interested gamers can explore another recent cross-platform indie hit: Dredge, the eldritch fishing simulator from Black Salt Games.
