Pico Park

Game • 2019

Pico Park is a cooperative local/online multiplay action puzzle game for 2-8 players. The rule is quite simple: "Get all the keys and get to the goal and clear", but all 48 levels have special gimmicks designed specifically for multiplayer. At most levels, different gimmicks will appear as you move forward, and you will need to consult with your peers and think about new ways to cooperate.
