LocoRoco

Overview

LocoRoco is a colorful and charming puzzle-platformer where players tilt the environment to guide cheerful, singing blobs through vibrant 2D levels.

How to Play

In LocoRoco, your goal is to guide a group of squishy, singing creatures called LocoRoco through each level to the goal. You do not control the LocoRoco directly. Instead, you tilt the entire world by pressing the L and R shoulder buttons to roll them left or right. Pressing both buttons together makes the LocoRoco jump. As you navigate, your LocoRoco can absorb smaller Mui Mui creatures to grow in size, and you can split a large LocoRoco into smaller individuals or merge them back together by pressing the Circle button. This splitting and merging is key to solving puzzles, fitting through narrow passages, and activating switches. The early game focuses on learning the basic tilting and jumping mechanics while collecting berries and avoiding black Moja creatures. As you progress, levels introduce more complex environmental hazards, moving platforms, and puzzles that require precise timing and clever use of the split/merge ability. During tense moments, such as escaping a pursuing enemy or navigating a precarious series of jumps, focus on anticipating the LocoRoco's momentum and using short, controlled tilts rather than holding the buttons down.
