India's burgeoning game development scene is about to take a leap forward with the introduction of Lokko, a new 3D platformer from the innovative developer Appy Monkeys. This exciting project has emerged from Sony's India Hero Project, an incubator dedicated to nurturing the next big releases from Indian developers. Lokko promises an engaging experience with its unique premise of delivering pizzas on time while battling the monopolistic Goobol food corporation, all set within a world that players can customize through level editors and an in-depth avatar creator.
One of the standout features of Lokko is its cross-platform compatibility, allowing seamless gameplay across mobile, PC, and PS5. What's more, players can enjoy the precision and comfort of Dualshock controllers on all versions, enhancing the gaming experience. This level of integration showcases the potential of Indian developers to create globally competitive titles.

Lokko draws inspiration from successful modern games, featuring character customization and level creation similar to platforms like Roblox, but with the added backing of PlayStation's power. While the gameplay may not reinvent the wheel, it offers a solid foundation that Appy Monkeys has crafted with care. The game's low-poly aesthetic adds to its charm, promising a visually appealing and engaging world for players to explore and conquer.
As we await a more specific release date for Lokko sometime this year, the excitement around the India Hero Project continues to grow. This initiative is poised to bring more innovative titles to the forefront, highlighting the rich potential of Indian game development. In the meantime, fans of indie games can dive into another cross-platform gem, the eldritch fishing simulator Dredge from Black Salt Games, for a unique gaming experience.
