Hailing from India, a burgeoning hub for game development, comes Lokko, a fresh 3D platformer from Appy Monkeys, developed in collaboration with Sony's India Hero Project. This exciting title boasts cross-play functionality across mobile, PC, and PS5, seamlessly integrating DualShock features on all platforms.
The India Hero Project, a Sony initiative supporting Indian developers, has clearly fostered innovation. Appy Monkeys' Lokko is a testament to this, offering a robust feature set including extensive level editors and a deep avatar creator. The premise? Deliver pizzas on time while battling the villainous Goobol food corporation—a premise as quirky as it is engaging.
What truly sets Lokko apart is its cross-platform compatibility and cross-play support, enhanced by DualShock controller integration across all platforms. This ambitious approach opens the game to a wider audience and promises a consistent, unified gaming experience regardless of the device used.

Lokko cleverly blends familiar elements from successful modern games. Its character customization, level creation tools, and relatively low-poly aesthetic evoke the spirit of titles like Roblox, yet it benefits from the backing of PlayStation, positioning it as a compelling alternative. While the gameplay might not be revolutionary, the execution by Appy Monkeys appears promising.
The India Hero Project deserves recognition for nurturing such innovative titles. Lokko's potential is undeniable, and its release later this year is highly anticipated. In the meantime, fans of cross-platform indie games might also enjoy checking out Dredge, the eldritch fishing simulator from Black Salt Games, recently released across multiple platforms!
