LocoRoco Cocoreccho!, Skate Demo Available Today on PSN
by Carlos Bergfeld, Sep 20, 2007 12:12pm PDTThe interactive screensaver spinoff to LocoRoco, Sony Computer Entertainment's LocoRoco Cocoreccho! will be available for download today from the PlayStation Store for $6.99. The 1080p capable title is a point-and-click adventure-esque take on LocoRoco with far less emphasis on world-tilting than the original roll-happy title. In addition to LocoRoco, this week's Thursday PlayStation Store update will bring four demos: EA Black Box's Tony Hawk-killer Skate, SCEA Studios San Diego's NBA 08, Sega Racing Studio's rally car racer Sega Rally Revo, and Paradigm Entertainment's Stuntman: Ignition.

As you'd expect, it's adorable and disgustingly cute.
Instead of tilting the whole world, you control a butterfly. By mashing O, any nearby LocoRocos flock to your position. Mash it harder, they move faster, jump higher and further, etc.
At the start of the level, you have only one LocoRoco, but you gain more once the blob touches another, thus waking him or it from your slumber. Without your guidance, the LocoRocos just move through a level in a loop--there are gates that require a set amount of LocoRocos to get past, and you can raise a lever near them to stop the constant flow of LocoRocos and keep them all in one spot.
There are little levers and gears that you operate by tilting the Sixaxis. It works pretty well.
Thus far, I'm actually it a bit more than the PSP iteration as I feel like I have a lot more precise control over where the LocoRocos are going and what they're doing. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get back to it, because I've been hearing the same song loop endlessly since I started writing this and I think it's going to drive me insane.
