LocoRoco
LocoRoco is a 2006 platform video game developed and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation Portable. The game was conceived by Tsutomu Kouno, who strived to create a game that was different from other titles being released for the PSP at the time. After demonstrating a prototype of the core gameplay to his management, Kouno was able to complete development over the course of a year and a half. In LocoRoco, the player must tilt the environment by using the shoulder buttons on the PSP in order to maneuver the LocoRoco, multi-colored jelly-like characters, through each level, being aided by other odd residents while avoiding hazards and the deadly Moja Troop, to reach an end goal.

Where LocoRoco sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where LocoRoco lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 69ahead of 21% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 42ahead of 82% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about LocoRoco
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
