Pico's Adventure

Pico's Adventure is a game centered around the Newgrounds mascot Pico in a more realistic setting. This game was released on Pico Day 2024 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Pico. It is part of Newgrounds Reborn, a project to Reboot famous Newgrounds IPs.

Gameplay
The game plays similarly to the River City series as it is a beat 'em up game with action role-playing elements. Despite having a linear story, the game allows players to explore an open world, in a sandbox manner. The player can move freely around the screen while pressing buttons to attack, or jump. Objects such as brass knuckles, steel pipes, and trash cans can be used as melee weapons or thrown at enemies. However, the characters' effectiveness in battle is determined by several statistics and their knowledge of fighting techniques, which are unlocked through leveling up a character and can be mapped to one of two designated buttons. The player can also purchase various food items which serve to not only revitalize the player's stats, but may also permanently increase them.
