Description

LocoRoco are free-roaming, free-rolling creatures. With their own happy language, hypnotic backgrounds and music, LocoRoco is like nothing you have ever seen before – you'll just have to share it! Instantly accessible, guide your LocoRoco through the various worlds using a simple tilting and bouncing gameplay mechanic – using the PSP system's [L] and [R] buttons to tilt the ground up to about 30 degrees in either direction. The jelly-like LocoRoco just can't stay still - guide these little characters as they bounce, roll and jump their way to the goal, avoiding splinters and enemies. Grow LocoRoco by eating fruit, the fatter they are by the end of the level, the more points you get. And when they are too big to fit through narrow pathways, split into tiny LocoRoco at the push of a button to squeeze through small spaces and uncover hidden rooms and treats. Pop out the other side and combine back into one big LocoRoco to continue your journey. You can even guide your LocoRoco through certain walls to collect secret items, so there's plenty to satisfy skilled gamers too.

Features

  • Roll, Bounce and Tilt the LocoRoco through a vibrantly animated world.
  • Fluidly Morph to the Environment: Stay round to roll, become slim to squeeze through narrow passages, and disassemble into smaller LocoRoco to collectively pass through small crevasses and paths. Eat to increase the size and quantity of LocoRoco and to gain access to secret areas and hidden rewards.
  • Simple Intuitive Gameplay: Just press the L and R buttons to tilt the landscape or bump the LocoRoco onto higher platforms and up hillsides.
  • Over 40 Stages of lush living landscapes: Roll across grassy plains and slippery slopes. Bounce and balance on teetering platforms. Get swept through the sky and soar through twisty loops.
  • Six Different Types of LocoRoco, each with unique voices and actions.
  • Captivating, light-hearted original songs communicate the joyous world of the LocoRoco.
  • Extras features include the customizable LocoHouse, three mini-games, and exciting wireless features.
