Pico Park
Pico Park delivers a dose of bite-sized, cooperative chaos. Its simple, single-screen levels demand teamwork, as players must use each other to overcome physics-based puzzles. The joy comes from the emergent gameplay created by its mechanics; a stack of cats can become a bridge, and a well-timed jump can be the difference between success and hilarious failure.
