Pico Park

Pico Park is a cooperative local/online multiplayer action puzzle game for 2 to 8 players (2 to 10 players in the classic version). The goal of the game is to get a key and unlock the locked door at the end of the map. Players need to cooperate to reach the objective, but players also have the ability to prevent reaching this goal, for example by blocking other players' movement.

Local Play Mode - Players can play together locally on one computer. Each player uses their own controller to control their character in the game.

When asked what made him start making Pico Park, the game creator, Teco, answered, "I think it's fun for [friends] to get together and play on one screen," but that he thinks local gameplay has become less common with time. Teco developed the game by himself and his friend helped to compose sounds in the game. This game was inspired by Saturn Bomberman, in which 10 players are able to play simultaneously, and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, which also had cooperative multiplayer mechanics. Pico Park had its first playtest in Fall 2013.

The game was presented in the Tokyo Game Show 2014 and won the Best Presentation award of the event Sense of Wonder Night 2014 under the name Picolecitta. During the presentation, Teco used an external USB hub with 10 gamepads connected to it to demonstrate the game.

The game received Best Presentation award from Sense of Wonder Night 2014, and received average critic review score of 8 out of 10 from Famitsu.

Hanzomon Arata, in an article on Famitsu, wrote that the game looks enjoyable even when players are three generations apart, and that the gimmicks allow everyone to share the same joy with more experienced players guiding less experienced players.
