Lokko: A New 3D Platformer from India's Appy Monkeys, Powered by Sony
Appy Monkeys, an Indian game developer, in collaboration with Sony's India Hero Project, is launching Lokko, a vibrant 3D platformer. This exciting title features cross-play functionality across mobile, PC, and PS5, with Dualshock support on all platforms. This showcases the burgeoning game development scene in India.
Lokko, born from Sony's India Hero Project – an incubator fostering Indian game development – offers players a unique experience. It combines engaging 3D platforming with extensive level editors and a deep avatar creation system. The core gameplay revolves around timely pizza delivery while battling the greedy Goobol food corporation.
Lokko in Action
Lokko's design borrows elements from successful modern games, including character customization and user-generated content, reminiscent of titles like Roblox. However, Lokko leverages PlayStation's power to potentially offer a strong alternative within the platforming genre.
While the gameplay mechanics may not be entirely revolutionary, Appy Monkeys' vision is compelling. Lokko's cross-platform compatibility and Dualshock integration are noteworthy features. The India Hero Project, through Lokko, demonstrates its potential to nurture innovative game development talent.
A precise release date for Lokko is yet to be announced (though a release sometime this year is expected), but interested players can explore another compelling cross-platform indie title: Dredge, the eldritch fishing simulator from Black Salt Games!
