India is fast becoming a hub for game development, and the upcoming 3D platformer, Lokko, is a testament to this growth. Created by the Indian developer Appy Monkeys in collaboration with Sony's India Hero Project, Lokko is set to make waves in the gaming world.

Lokko is not just another game; it's a product of Sony's initiative to nurture Indian talent and bring innovative gaming experiences to the market. Appy Monkeys have harnessed this opportunity to craft a game that combines the thrill of delivering pizzas on time with battling the monopolistic Goobol food corporation. Players can dive into a world of creativity with Lokko's level editors and an in-depth avatar creator, allowing for personalized gaming experiences.

One of the standout features of Lokko is its cross-play compatibility across mobile, PC, and PS5 platforms, along with the integration of Dualshock features for a seamless gaming experience across all devices. This level of interconnectivity showcases the potential of Indian developers to create globally appealing games.

Lokko-motionLokko draws inspiration from modern gaming successes, offering character customization, level creation, and a charming low-poly aesthetic reminiscent of games like Roblox. However, with the backing of PlayStation, Lokko has the potential to stand out as a strong alternative in the gaming market.

While Lokko's gameplay may not be revolutionary, the approach taken by Appy Monkeys is promising. The excitement around Lokko also extends to future projects from the India Hero Project, which could further elevate the profile of Indian game development.

Although Lokko is slated for release sometime this year, fans of indie games can explore another cross-platform title, the eldritch fishing simulator Dredge by Black Salt Games, which has recently become available on multiple platforms.
