Lokko is an upcoming mobile, PC and PS5 project from Sony\'s India Hero Project

India's burgeoning game development scene is making waves with the upcoming 3D platformer, Lokko, a fresh creation from the India-based developer Appy Monkeys. This exciting project is a result of their collaboration with Sony's India Hero Project, an incubator designed to nurture Indian developers and help them craft their next big hit.

Lokko stands out not only for its engaging gameplay but also for its innovative features. Players will dive into a world where they must deliver pizzas on time while battling the monopolistic Goobol food corporation. The game offers a rich experience with level editors and an in-depth avatar creator, allowing players to customize their characters and design their own levels.

One of the most compelling aspects of Lokko is its cross-play functionality, enabling seamless gaming across mobile, PC, and PS5 platforms. Additionally, the game supports Dualshock features on all three platforms, enhancing the gaming experience with familiar controls.

Lokko-motionLokko combines the best elements of modern gaming successes, featuring character customization and level creation, all wrapped in a charming low-poly aesthetic reminiscent of games like Roblox. Yet, it's backed by the power of PlayStation, positioning Lokko as a strong contender in the gaming market.

While the gameplay may not be groundbreaking, the efforts of Appy Monkeys are commendable, and the potential of Lokko is undeniable. The India Hero Project's involvement further adds to the anticipation of what other innovative titles might 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 gem, the eldritch fishing simulator Dredge from Black Salt Games, while they wait.
