DAY 52 / GAME 52
LocoRoco
If you enjoy games where you control tiny blobs that sing to the background music, then you'll love LocoRoco. Back when I first got my Sony PSP handheld I hopped online and started downloading a bunch of demos. It was kind of a first at the time, you could download them onto your PC, load them into a memory card and play them off your card on the PSP. LocoRoco was one of the first of these I tried. It was actually a while before I bought the game because they kept releasing new, holiday themed demos.

LocoRoco is a unique platformer where your characters can only jump. Jump and either burst into a bunch of baby blobs, or merge back into a big blob. You're able to move about the platformer format levels by titling the world right or left. Your blobs then roll one way or another where you can hop up into moving level components like windmills and tiny cracks that require you to split up into tiny baby blobs to make your way through.
LocoRoco has this great 2D graphic design that works well on both mobile and larger platforms. The level is full of great characters. It's one of those things where all the enemies and obstacles have cute smiley faces like a Scott C. painting or something and everything is singing and dancing along to the music. It's really something actually. When you're a big blob, it lipsyncs to the music and sings and when you're a bunch of baby blobs they all sing in sync with slightly higher pitch voices. It's super cute.
This game was super fun and unique. I remember Leia loved just staring at the little guys singing their little songs. The only thing I'd love to see now is for someone to port it to the Wii-U gamepad or the 3DS (or iOS for that matter). Something with tilt control. It would be perfect.
