LocoRoco is my newest videogame crush—if they bring it stateside, it may be the game that gets me to buy a PSP. The game’s controls are simple: you use the L and R shoulder buttons on the top edge of the PSP to tilt the entire game world left and right, in order to roll your adorable little orange blob to the end of the stage. The main character moves with convincing blobby physics; it clearly owes a debt to Gish. Here’s an interview with the designer, who unsurprisingly worked on Ico (possibly my favorite game of all time). And if you want a clearer version of the video, you can grab it here.
