PICO PARK
Developer TECOPARK
Pico Park is a cooperative multiplayer, action-puzzle independent game developed by Japanese developer TECOPARK.

This game isnt about solving puzzles, you’re testing how long a friend group can survive without speaking to each other. By the end, the only thing you’ve successfully unlocked isn’t the door but the mutual disappointment and zero communication and trauma.

This game is the most patience straining, friendship ruining, soul crushing game I have ever played. And yet for some strange reason, I would still recommend you get it and play it with your friends. Weird how that works.

Tiny levels, big laughs, and endless teamwork (or chaos) make PICO PARK an instant party classic. Simple to pick up, impossible to put down, and guaranteed to test friendships in the best way possible.

Me and my friends were non-stop arguing and yelling at each other for the entire playthrough 10/10 do recommend

neutral · AI labelView post →> hardware improvements of the Switch 2 could affect development costs I've never understood this. Yeah, better hardware means you can spend more time making a more complex product, but that doesn't mean you have to. You can make an OG Switch capable game for the Switch 2 and charge less for it than larger games. If the game is fun, it'll sell well. Look at Pico Park, I can count the polygons on one hand and it's one of my kids' favorite games. I wouldn't be surprised if you could port it to…
neutral · AI labelView post →Pico Park Developer Didn't Understand How Steam Works, So Now Their Game Is Free Forever. Turns out, once you drop the price of your game to free on Steam, you're not allowed to charge for it ever again. I didn't realize that, and neither did Pico Park developer Tecopark. That's why Pico Park: Classic Edition is free right now, and will be forever, after its price was dropped to zero with the intention of introducing new paid plans for the game at a later date.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tabletop Simulator is always my go to for big group local co-op (I believe it supports up to 10 players.) Pico Park 2 might be more akin to what you're looking for. You can also check co-op.gg and filter by storefront, #of players, local, online, etc to see what results they give you! Just double check the game's individual chart to make sure the local co-op limit.
