More On: Dokuro

Dokuro is a cute little side-scrolling puzzle-platformer that our own Cyril Lachel liked very much.  If you think you'd like it very much as well, then you should know that you can now pick it up for the reduced price of $2.99.  Dokuro is available on both the PS Vita and on iOS and Android mobile devices.

If you live in Europe, however, you'll just have to cry into your jars of socialized medicine for a little longer because the time frame for a Dokuro price drop there is listed simply as "soon."  That's pretty ominous, if you ask me.

FYI: the screen shots are for the iOS version.

-Captivating chalk-style art with an immersive and gorgeous fairytale setting

Dokuro is also available for $2.99 on iOS devices through the App Store and Android devices through Google Play in North America. Featuring no in-app purchases, the smartphone/tablet edition of Dokuro adds virtual controls that deliver an intuitive and optimized experience while keeping the console-style ease of play. For devices running iOS 7 or later, Dokuro is also compatible with mobile game controllers (sold separately), offering even more direct control of the action onscreen. While boasting all the content of the original PS Vita version, the smartphone edition's difficulty and level structure have been newly tuned for touchscreens, resulting in an even more intuitive game.
