Sony's India Hero Project Unveils Lokko for Mobile, PC, PS5

India's burgeoning game development scene is making waves, and Lokko, a new 3D platformer from developer Appy Monkeys, is a testament to this growth. Created in collaboration with Sony's India Hero Project, Lokko is poised to be a significant release, showcasing the potential of Indian developers on the global stage.

Lokko isn't just another game; it's a comprehensive 3D platformer experience that includes level editors and an in-depth avatar creator. Players will take on the challenge of delivering pizzas on time while competing against the monopolistic Goobol food corporation, adding a fun and unique twist to the gameplay.

One of the standout features of Lokko is its cross-play compatibility across mobile, PC, and PS5, along with the integration of Dualshock features across all platforms. This level of connectivity is a significant draw, allowing players from different platforms to enjoy the game together seamlessly.

Lokko-motionLokko combines the best elements of modern gaming successes, featuring character customization and level creation within a charming, low-poly aesthetic reminiscent of games like Roblox. Yet, it stands out with the backing of PlayStation, offering a compelling alternative to other platforms.

While Lokko's gameplay may not be groundbreaking, the innovative approach by Appy Monkeys is promising. The anticipation around Lokko also extends to future projects from the India Hero Project, hinting at a bright future for Indian game development.

Although a specific release date for Lokko has yet to be announced beyond "sometime this year," fans of indie games can explore another cross-platform gem, the eldritch fishing simulator Dredge from Black Salt Games, while they wait.
