There’s a dog like animal that eats you and spits you out shaping you into a different form. There’s an anteater like animal that sucks you and throws you into a direction that you want to go to. There are also NPCs that will help you in the game. This could be dangerous if there were spikes in the area because hitting a spike also makes you lose a Loco and if all of your Loco is lost, it’s game over. Another version of the Moja is the miniature one which sticks to your Loco and makes you unable to jump high. So it’s best to run away from them before they eat you alive. There is also a bigger version of the Moja that only gets stunned when you hit them. You can however, defeat them by bumping into them before they reach you so that they die. Because the moment they get near you they will try and eat a piece of you and essentially make you lose one of your Locos. Anyway, you need to avoid these things if you want to survive and make it to the finish line. Well I call it the Moja because it screams the word Moja when it gets near you. This is because of the many traps and enemies in the game. Now, when I mentioned that it tallies the amount Loco duplicates you can manage to take to the finish line, this means that there’s a possibility that even if you have eaten all 20 fruits you might not be able to take them all to the finish line. Again, to get these humanoids you will have to either find them in secret areas or by meeting a required number of Locos. There are also little humanoids called MuiMui that you can collect in each level and there’s at least 3 in each of them. So if you want to get those star fruits you will have to eat lots of Loco fruits. Waking up the NPCs would require you to have a certain amount of Locos and it could vary from 5 to 18. The star fruits are rare and can only be found in secret areas or waking up NPCs in the level. It also tallies how many fly things you’ve eaten and how many special star fruits you’ve collected. After you complete a level there is a results screen that tallies how many fruits you’ve eaten or rather how many Loco duplicates you’ve managed to take to the finish line. It’s a short game if you just want to finish the game and not pick up any of the collectibles. There are 5 worlds for you to complete and in each world there are about 7 levels or so. They do add a different tune to the background music. I guess you’d choose the other ones for their color but that’s it. There are no unique abilities or anything that would want you to choose a different Loco. Other than that, there’s really nothing different with them. There are 6 different Locos that you will meet along the way and they all sing a different tune. And sometimes the obstacle itself is just not cooperating with you. I find myself getting stuck on walls or not being able to jump to the right location because of the weird tilting. It’s definitely a unique way to do a platforming puzzle game and sometimes the result can be frustrating. Holding both buttons will let your Loco jump higher. If you hold either L1 or R1 it will cause the Loco to jump to the left or right respectively. You can also use the motion sensor to do this and it’s actually very responsive. Instead the world you are exploring is being tilted left and right. Basically, you use the L1 and R1 to move the tiny Loco but you’re not really moving him. The controls of this game is very simple yet I sometimes find myself getting frustrated by it. You then traverse a world eating some kind of fruit that makes you grow and multiply and then little flies that are scattered about. You then have this little ball character that seems like the early makings of an emoji. It’s like a coloring book that was brought to life. So I started the game and noticed the colorful layout of the world. I have not really played the original of this game so I really didn’t know what to expect.
