India is rapidly emerging as a significant hub for game development, and the upcoming 3D platformer Lokko is a testament to this growth. Developed by Appy Monkeys in collaboration with Sony's India Hero Project, Lokko is poised to make waves in the gaming world. This innovative project not only showcases the potential of Indian developers but also brings a fresh take on the platformer genre.
Lokko, born from the Sony India Hero Project, an incubator designed to nurture Indian game developers, is a vibrant 3D platformer. The game challenges players to deliver pizzas on time while battling the monopolistic Goobol food corporation. With features like level editors and an in-depth avatar creator, Lokko promises a highly customizable and engaging experience.
One of the standout features of Lokko is its cross-play compatibility across mobile, PC, and PS5, along with the integration of Dualshock features on all platforms. This level of connectivity and control is a significant draw for gamers looking for a seamless experience across different devices.

Lokko combines the best elements of 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 compelling alternative in the gaming market.
While the gameplay of Lokko may not be groundbreaking, the execution by Appy Monkeys is promising. The anticipation for Lokko is high, and it's exciting to see what other projects will emerge from the India Hero Project.
Although a specific release date for Lokko has not been announced beyond "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 made its debut across multiple platforms.
