Controlling LocoRoco is also an experience you probably won't forget. As with the rest of the game, simplicity is the main focus here. You use only the top two shoulder buttons to move your character about the world. Holding down the right shoulder button will cause the entire screen to tilt to the right and your LocoRoco will become a slave to gravity and follow suit. The same goes for the left shoulder button and once you learn that tapping both shoulder buttons at once allows you to jump, you have just learned the majority of the control scheme in three easy steps. The final action you'll want to learn is how by pressing the X button your big LocoRoco can be broken down into many, smaller LocoRocos. This may even sound a bit too simple to some of the more seasoned gamers out there but let me assure you, there is still plenty of challenge to be had. You'll play as a number of different races of LocoRoco through the game while traversing a variety of environments. Along the way you'll be helped by the Mui Mui, who are small, seemingly cheerful, little creatures of which there are three in each level. You'll also consume your fair share of tasty red fruit that, upon eating each one, cause your LocoRoco to gain one size. All these mechanics add up to a fresh experience that will leave you feeling very satisfied at the end of each level.
