Free-to-play Vita game 'Picotto Knight' is adorable

Game Arts' next, as-yet-undated PlayStation Vita game is a rarity for consoles, in that it uses a free-to-play model. It's also really, really cute.

Picotto Knight is a four-player online side-scrolling action game, in which players control tiny "Cocoroids" who use a variety of hand weapons to fight the minions of the Demon King that threatens the planet Pico.

Players can level up their characters as they fight, and equip them with a variety of accessories, some of which may make them look like a kitty. Picotto Knight has so far only been announced for Japan.
