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 controller support on all platforms.
India's growing game development scene is highlighted by Lokko's creation. The India Hero Project, a Sony initiative, fosters the growth of Indian developers, and Lokko is a prime example of its success. This partnership has resulted in a game boasting extensive level editors and a deep character customization system. Players will deliver pizzas while battling the Goobol food corporation, a monopolistic antagonist.
Lokko in Action
Lokko shares similarities with successful titles like Roblox, featuring customizable characters, user-generated levels, and a stylized low-poly art style. However, Lokko benefits from PlayStation's backing, positioning itself as a potential competitor to established platforms.
The gameplay, while not revolutionary, is promising. Appy Monkeys' work shows potential, and the India Hero Project's future output is eagerly anticipated.
While a precise release date is yet to be announced (though expected this year), players can explore another excellent cross-platform indie title: Dredge, the eldritch fishing simulator from Black Salt Games.
