Goth kids have shot up your school and it's up to Pico to save the day!


I made this game in 1999, before I grew out of my edgy teen phase... or did I? It was posted on Newgrounds before the Portal system launched in 2000; I eventually uploaded it to the Portal in 2006 so people could vote on it and leave reviews.


This story has since been re-told with Pico's School: Love Conquers All.


Pico was made in Flash 3, before the introduction of variables (or just about any code, for that matter). To simulate stored data, I weaved a complex web of movie clips that gave orders to the main game. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of frame labels, so all the commands referred to frame numbers, making things difficult to edit afterwards.

In this case, the fact that you barely updated the game is actually a good thing. Otherwise, it would be like in modern games: users are spoiled by an abundance of updates and constantly and insatiably wait for new ones. In addition, the almost complete lack of updates allows you to see what the games were like in those distant years.

yoooooooo

YALL THATS THE BEST GAME I HAD EVER PLAYED IN MY LIFE XD

Edgy ass game with a ton of internet history! I'm personally terrified of school shootings, probably because of my anxiety, so my brain is still a little iffy on it... (Yucky, morals!) But it's fun to play and I genuinely got a bit of a kick out of it. I also wanna kick pico like a football, for some reason...

legends play this on newgrounds and in 2025
