Appy Monkeys, an India-based developer, has unveiled Lokko, a new 3D platformer created in collaboration with Sony's India Hero Project. This exciting project highlights the growing game development scene in India. Lokko offers a unique blend of features, including cross-play functionality across mobile, PC, and PS5, along with DualShock controller support on all platforms.
Lokko, born from Sony's India Hero Project—an incubator fostering Indian game development—is a 3D platformer brimming with potential. Players can customize their avatars and even create their own levels. The game's premise revolves around timely pizza delivery amidst a conflict with the monopolistic Goobol food corporation.
What truly sets Lokko apart is its seamless cross-platform compatibility and cross-play support, enhanced by DualShock controller integration across all platforms. This feature alone positions Lokko as a compelling contender in the gaming market.
Lokko cleverly incorporates elements reminiscent of successful modern games, such as character customization, level creation, and a low-poly aesthetic similar to Roblox. However, the backing of PlayStation and its unique features suggest a promising alternative to existing platforms. The gameplay, while not revolutionary, is polished and engaging. Appy Monkeys has created a compelling experience, and we eagerly anticipate future projects from the India Hero Project.
While a precise release date for Lokko remains unannounced (though expected sometime this year), consider exploring another fantastic cross-platform indie title: Dredge from Black Salt Games, an eldritch fishing simulator!
