Now that's how you make a games website. Even lets you make your own PC Wallpaper. Plenty of Katamari Damacy style charm to this one.

is it good? i mean looks a bit childish, i mean it just looks a bit simple

Blah. The highest I got was 930. Then came back to this thread and realised Retr0 was ahead of me, and went back to the stupid random slidy game for another 15 minutes and got thoroughly irritated with its stupid frustrating randomness. Grrr.

There is no way I will touch this game now. That'll learn 'em!

Retr0gamer

Admittedly I fluked it and have only managed about ~850 thereafter.

Shortys94: I wouldn't be put off by the flash demo. It seems a bit childish but I doubt it's any indication of what the final game will be like more just to let people know how it plays. If you watch the trailer you can see it's far more complex with loads of puzzles. Also the E3 crowd all absolutley adored it. I hope this game makes me wipe the dust from my PSP.

its much better on the psp, theres no lag/slowdowns obviously, colors look much better, as does the sound. You control when to break them up and whent o combine them so in the flash it kinda seems pointless cause its automatic.
They make this hilarious cute sound when u break them up [on the psp]

wait on the flash game on the website how do yo ustart the game, or is the game where u just tilt the screen etc?

Yoshi's Universal Gravitation doesn't happen to be anywhere near as lovely as this, does it? As far as I can remember, it looked rubbish. But I'm really starting to fall for this Loco Roco, and I don't want to buy a PSP just to play it. (I probably would, but, you know, it's a bit silly.)

The general consensus was that Yoshi's Universal Gravitation was awful.

I'm really falling for Loco Roco as well. Why couldn't Sony be as original when it comes to console design as their development teams are.

I played it the other day and that's the first thing i mentioned. The game overall has this amazing charm, and the controls are so simple, I'm considering getting a psp just for this...

I'll buy this for my neaphews.

Looks to be a great laugh

I've playing the demo on my psp for over a week now and it's very addictive! Took me a while to figure out what was going on though as the instructions were in japanese:)

Hope they like it. My nephews generally find games where you don't pistol whip bitches for respect bonuses very counter intuitive.

Out in September?

I was under the impression it was being released soon... I'm so tempted to try it but I'm in two minds about upgrading firmware and losing my emulators just for a demo. It's something I'm gonna do sooner or later though.

I think it is out soon. Sony sent me a t-shirt and pre-production copy in the post last Monday and it seems very good. I'll check with them and see anyway.

Its strange because its one of the first original games on the PSP so far. I keep thinking this must be a DS game when playing it.

"LocoRoco is due out over here on 23rd June according to Sony's most recent UK schedule."

I think game is making me a bit soft in the head... I love the little black hairy things that sound like they're saying "would yeh, would yeh".
