"Japanese developer Tecopark's Pico Park games have proven hugely popular multiplayer games over the last ten years. Alongside the Classic version, there's 2021's re-imagined Pico Park, and most recently 2024's Pico Park 2. They're all cooperative puzzle games for between two and eight players, in which you're challenged to collect a level's keys via collaborative platform action. As you might imagine, this can become chaotic extremely quickly as groups attempt to arrange their cute cat-like characters into stacked piles to reach platforms."
"Tecopark's Shunsuke Miyake posted to the game's Updates page on August 20, "I'm thinking of updating Classic Edition for the first time in nine years... Since I'm doing it anyway, I'll update it with online support." He added, "I might charge a small fee for it. I recommend installing it while it's still free." Come September 13, that update had happened, and the game now had art that matches its two sequels, and most significantly, now included online multiplayer. Miyake added, "We'll keep it free for about a week.""
Pico Park is a cooperative puzzle series from Tecopark, including Classic Edition, a 2021 reimagining, and Pico Park 2 (2024). The games support chaotic local cooperation for two to eight players, with Classic Edition previously allowing up to ten local players. On August 20, Tecopark announced plans to add online support to Classic Edition and mentioned a possible small fee while advising players to install the free version. A September 13 update added refreshed art, higher-refresh-rate monitor support, Steam input options, and online multiplayer, and the developer intended to keep the update free for about a week. Steam policy limits on switching between free and paid pricing mean Classic Edition cannot be re-flagged as paid and will remain free.
