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

India is fast becoming a hub for game development, and the upcoming 3D platformer Lokko is a prime example of this burgeoning scene. Created by the Indian developer Appy Monkeys in collaboration with Sony's India Hero Project, Lokko promises to be a thrilling addition to the gaming world. This project not only showcases the talent within India but also highlights the potential of the India Hero Project, an incubator designed to help Indian developers create their next big hit.

Lokko stands out as a 3D platformer where players take on the role of a pizza delivery person, racing against time to deliver pizzas while battling the monopolistic Goobol food corporation. The game is enriched with features like a level editor and an in-depth avatar creator, allowing players to personalize their experience extensively.

One of the most exciting aspects of Lokko is its cross-platform and cross-play compatibility. Whether you're playing on mobile, PC, or PS5, Lokko ensures a seamless gaming experience across all devices. Additionally, the integration of Dualshock features across all versions adds a layer of immersion and control that's hard to beat.

Lokko draws inspiration from successful modern games, blending character customization and level creation with a charming low-poly aesthetic reminiscent of games like Roblox. However, with the backing of PlayStation, Lokko has the potential to carve out its own niche and offer a compelling alternative in the gaming market.

While Lokko's gameplay might not be groundbreaking, the creativity and execution by Appy Monkeys are certainly commendable. The anticipation for Lokko, expected to launch sometime this year, is building, and it's not just about this game but also about what else the India Hero Project might bring to the table.

In the meantime, if you're eager for more cross-platform gaming, check out the eldritch fishing simulator Dredge from Black Salt Games, another excellent indie release that has recently gone multi-platform.
