Mars: Yeah. Exactly what you think it is but they're food, it's "family friendly" and we actually care about these characters. This game (slash, parody, slash ripoff) was conceptualized in 2021 when the Idiots with Brainrot were even more idiotic, which explains why this idea is so stupid. I got extremely fixated on these characters recent[ish]-ly so I finally made the Pico ripoff we always planned for real.
I tried to change some things to make it more unique at least..??? This is my first time making a game, & everything sucks 'cuz it wouldn't be Pico if it wasn't, so be nice.. thanks. The deaths had to be censored so it would be more likely to pass Scratch, and frankly I don't want to animate my OCs' brutally dying.
Also, my favorite out of both the Pico and Applico goths are the ninjas. Just in case you were curious.
Nikki: I am π. I had to design most characters. I hate all of my creations. I am the one whose favorites out of the Pico and Applico goths are the leaders. I hate Banandra. I hate Cassandra. I love them. I HATE THEM SO MUCH I HATE THEM I HATE THE
Val: Yo! My contribution may be small, but I made the Gun you use in the game and the poster in that one room. I was also the moral support of the group! Iβm important!
Germ: I did all the music stuff, got to design all of one character, who I loathe (rassie). anyway thats about it, enjoy game.

(When we say '[character]'s concept', we mean it loosely; it's moreso like the idea of X character being Y fruit. E.g: What if Pico was a green apple?)

OG GAME:
(if you can't handle excessively, almost over-the-top, vulgar content - you should probably steer clear of this. I'd be more surprised if you were on here and DIDN'T know Pico, though...)
applico is a girl?! OMG YURI LIVES!!
Well those rotten bananas aren't to be trusted...
Nice tribute, well done
its actually quite funny and i got all medals!
literally just kid friendly pico's school. also, smart move to not be able to open lockers, therefore no access to w33d. but for some reason i cant leave after beating the blueberry guy.
weed is in the game actually π broke the kid friendly gig for it
i have no idea what causes that glitch and I don't think I can fix it besides probably refreshing a few times
Pretty cute little parody of Pico's School!
I like how it starts off as an amusingly child-friendly and fruit-related version of the original, with the various language and themes changed to fit...but as it went on, I felt like it kinda lost that special appeal: kids became just as vulgar as the original, and it was hitting all the exact same beats instead of branching off, so it just became Pico's School with a superficial fruit skin applied over it.
So while it was a fun trip, the appeal was more about nostalgia and not anything new this was necessarily bringing to the table. Not bad as a programming exercise and a homage, but I would like to see something new from y'all later on using these skills!
