PSP Essentials: LocoRoco

Bounce, roll, tilt and eat your way to glory in the land of the LocoRoco.

The peaceful world of the LocoRoco is under attack by the not-so-nice Moja Corps. These evil outer space critters have come to take the LocoRoco from their land of colour, lively creatures and pastel scenery and it's your job to save them.

On the planet where the LocoRoco inhabit, you must move them through more than 40 levels of slippery slopes, teetering platforms and mind-bending maze-like passages. Thankfully, the LocoRoco have the uncanny ability to fluidly morph to their landscape. You can stay round to roll, become slim to squeeze through narrow passages, and disassemble into smaller LocoRoco to pass collectively through small crevasses and paths.

So all you need to do to win is to tilt, roll and bounce these happy blob-like creatures to safety.

Best Bit:
Stuffing your LocoRoco's belly to increase the size and quantity of them to gain access to the myriad of secret areas and hidden rewards littered throughout this charming and inventive game.
