LocoRoco Cocoreccho (or Oideyo LocoRoco!! BuuBuu Cocoreccho! (おいでよロコロコ！！ BuuBuu Cocoreccho!) in Japan) is a platform game developed and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The game released for PlayStation 3 via the PlayStation Network in September 2007.[1] Described as an "interactive screensaver",[2] LocoRoco Cocoreccho! features an autonomous two-dimensional environment in which the world and characters play even without input from the player.[3]
Gameplay[edit]
In the game, players control a butterfly (the "Cocoreccho" of the title) to gather LocoRoco that are dispersed throughout a level and direct them to a goal in a large enough group to pass through.[2] The player can call LocoRoco to the character, which is depicted as a ring of light emanating from the Cocoreccho, which prompts LocoRoco to move toward the Cocoreccho. Players can also use the Cocoreccho to tilt and jolt various characters and objects within the environment by positioning the Cocoreccho on the intended target and tilting or shaking the controller.[4] Along the route there are three types of minigames. In each mini game it is possible to increase the number of LocoRoco[2] by up to 15 by achieving a high score.
