Top-notch visuals complement some brutal brainteasers - this is a damn good puzzler right here.

If you're stuck and would like a hint, you're welcome to message me, or read this post.
you definitely need to make more of these Pico puzzle games we love it! you should make heroes of Pico's school 2 and maybe even more
Eydi responds:
Thank you! I love making them, but it doesn't look like game submissions will be allowed for Pico day in the future, which bums me out a little bit because I thought it was a fun way to celebrate Newgrounds. We'll see what Tom Fulp has to say about it in 2025. Either way I'm sure there will be many occasions for a Pico puzzle game in the future. Or maybe some other iconic characters. I definitely want to make more games like this.
The whole design is a perfect combination. Oddly enough sprites look like a huge homage of Paper Mario series and giving it puzzle example (moving boxes of course).
It's really fun though, I dig it and it gives nice impressions.
my dumbass cant finish the first level
I look up. GG
