The gaming world is buzzing with excitement over Lokko, a new 3D platformer developed by Appy Monkeys in collaboration with Sony's India Hero Project. This innovative project showcases the burgeoning talent in India's game development scene, which has been gaining attention with upcoming titles like Indus Battle Royale.

Lokko, born from the India Hero Project, an incubator designed to nurture Indian developers, promises a unique gaming experience. Players will navigate the game as pizza delivery agents, racing against time to deliver pizzas while battling the monopolistic Goobol food corporation. The game is enriched with features like level editors and an in-depth avatar creator, allowing for a highly personalized gaming experience.

One of the standout features of Lokko is its cross-play compatibility across mobile, PC, and PS5 platforms, enhanced by Dualshock functionality on all versions. This cross-platform approach not only broadens the game's accessibility but also leverages the power of PlayStation to deliver a seamless gaming experience.

Lokko-motionLokko combines elements that have proven successful in modern gaming, such as character customization and level creation, with a charming low-poly aesthetic reminiscent of games like Roblox. Yet, it stands out with the backing of PlayStation, positioning itself as a strong contender in the gaming market.

While Lokko's gameplay may not be groundbreaking, the efforts of Appy Monkeys are commendable and eagerly anticipated. The India Hero Project's role in fostering such creativity is also noteworthy, and we look forward to seeing more innovative projects emerge from this initiative.

Although a specific release date for Lokko has not been announced beyond "sometime this year," fans of indie games can explore another cross-platform title, the eldritch fishing simulator Dredge by Black Salt Games, which has recently made its mark in the gaming community.
