If you’re a LocoRoco fan, you don’t have to head to the PlayStation Store to sample a demo of LocoRoco 2‘s gameplay. Instead, you can visit Spil Games’ Games.co.uk site to play a Flash LocoRoco 2 minigame. It isn’t up for very long though. When LocoRoco 2 for the PSP comes out on November 21, 2008 in Europe, the Flash minigame will be removed from Spil Games’ site.

Its fairly simple to play. You use the left and right arrow keys on your computer to control the actions, like the shoulder buttons you use for the original LocoRoco and LocoRoco 2 games. There are six different levels to play, and the goal in each level is to make flowers bloom by rolling over a wilted flower with the proper color LocoRoco.

Its cute, but its somewhat difficult to play. LocoRoco and LocoRoco 2 are games which really need to be on a PSP, so you can use the shoulder buttons to control everything. Trying to play through a mini level using the arrow keys on a laptop just isn’t the same. For some reason, I couldn’t get the jumps to execute like I could in the original LocoRoco 2. The Flash minigame was more frustrating than fun. Still, if you need a quick LocoRoco-fix while waiting for LocoRoco 2, it’ll do.
