Holding them both down, then letting go lets you jump, but letting go of just one button jumps in the opposite direction. Instead of the fine, direct control of your singing, roly-poly blob, you tilt the screen to the left or right using the shoulder buttons, up to an angle of around 30 degrees in either direction. It’s not too different from the likes of Sonic the Hedgehog in that regard – but it’s in its odd control scheme where its brilliance shines through. It’s more a game of exploration, trying to find hidden areas by bashing through walls or finding sneaky ethereal walls. You may face a little resistance by way of spikes or errant Moja – but not very much. The goal on each of the 40 or so levels is clear and simple: get to the end. To do that, you’ll have to roll about as a titular LocoRoco a sort of squishy, yellow happy-faced ballons filled with jelly. The vibrant, pastel world is under attack from the dastardly Moja Corps, and it’s up to the LocoRoco and their interminable warbling to put an end to it. If you missed its release over a decade ago, the game has a simple premise.

While it’s a relatively barebones remaster, it brings its striking visuals to PS4 at 1080p, with support for 4K on the PlayStation 4 Pro.

It’s back, Remastered for the PlayStation 4. Bright, colourful, and inventive, LocoRoco had an implausibly catchy and cheerful soundtrack and an almost soothing gameplay loop.

When it was released to Sony’s portable PlayStation in 2006, Sony’s weird, wonderful, and whimsical LocoRoco instantly became one of my favourite games for the system.
