Pico's Exile

game

I know right now this is the only submission on my channel, but I've actually been on Newgrounds since 2009. Across 2 other accounts, I've been making games here for awhile, since I was around 14, and Newgrounds has given me a community of people to talk to on the forums, get criticism and praise from on my games and movies, and it's given me a huge group of people I consider my friends. So I felt obliged to make something this Pico Day, especially with it being the 20th anniversary. This is a shooting, brawling, intense game that highlights many of the iconic series in Newgrounds history. Controls are listed in the settings and are customizable, but here are a few tips and things you may need to know:

You can grab enemies when they are close to you, and can use them as a shield to block damage from one side, but they'll jump out of your reach if you hold them too long, so hit grab again to throw them behind you.

You can block enemy attacks, but it doesn't completely absorb all the damage, however knockback isn't applied when blocking, so it can be used strategically to position yourself better.

Be strategic about where you kill enemies, their skulls can be used as barricades to stop enemies from hitting you, but your shots can propel them over the skulls. Also, some melee weapons have enough range to hit enemies through a skull.

The game is challenging and takes some time to get the hang of, but is very rewarding. Have fun!
