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 bringing us 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 burgeoning game development scene is often overlooked, but Lokko, along with other promising titles like Indus Battle Royale, highlights its growing potential. Lokko, born from Sony's India Hero Project – an incubator supporting Indian developers – boasts extensive level editors and a detailed avatar creator. The core gameplay revolves around timely pizza delivery while battling the villainous Goobol food corporation.
Lokko in Action
Lokko shares similarities with successful games like Roblox, featuring character customization, user-generated content (level creation), and a stylized low-poly art style. However, Lokko's backing by PlayStation and its cross-platform capabilities position it as a compelling alternative.
The gameplay, while familiar, is polished and promising. Appy Monkeys' work on Lokko is impressive, and the India Hero Project shows immense potential for future innovative game development.
While a precise release date is yet to be announced (sometime this year is the current expectation), fans of indie games can explore another recent cross-platform release: Dredge, the captivating eldritch fishing simulator from Black Salt Games.
