LocoRoco: Midnight Carnival is more difficult than any previous entry in the franchise. In addition to those tricky new high jumps, returning players will notice more bottomless pits. Plus, if you don't manage to finish the stage in a set amount of time your score will be reduced at the end of the level. Also, many of the hidden LocoRoco and items can be devilishly difficult to track down. They're not always needed to complete stages, but completionists who feel the urge to find everything a developer has hidden could end up puzzling over certain levels for a long time. 5/5
