Community Insight:
You go around shooting baddies with weapons you pick up completing side quests along the way to save your farm animals. Its charming. Its simple. And its not aggressive freemium.
Overall a fun to play and polished game! Although it would be nice to control where you shoot. But other than that, we dont see any reason not to get this.
Such a good game with objectives to hit and levels to beat.
We LOVE this simple, fun, and beautifully designed game. Please keep the levels coming! We are hoping there is a sequel sometime in the future. You wont be disappointed with this lovely game.
This is really good, and has a whole lot of levels to play, but why do you shoot automatically when you get close to like crates and enemies and stuff. When Im trying to make a level in the level editor, you have to choose any type of music you want, and the only way for it to work is to place loud speakers in your level. If we want to place a crate, or like some sort of pistol, or shotgun enemy next to the loudspeaker (since there is not too much space in one single level in the level editor) Pico will shoot automatically at the crate, or enemy and possibly destroy the loudspeaker, and if you destroy a loudspeaker, the music in your level will stop, and you will probably have to find another loudspeaker in your level somewhere to hear the music again. Maybe there should be a way to kind of control where you fire your weapons. It can sometimes get a little frustrating when Pico just fires at an enemy or crate, and just break a loudspeaker. Then we would probably have to redo our level, or do something to make the music play in our level, which is also another problem (space). When you are trying to make a level, there is really not a whole lot you can put in your level. You should add a way to change the boundary in your level, or maybe have an option when you are creating a level to choose between small, medium, or large to change how big, or small you want your level to be. Please try to make a couple of these changes to make the game a little more easy to do stuff around the level editor, and maybe a control to control where you want to fire your weapon at. It shouldnt be too hard to make these changes. Please try.
The game in its current state is great. Its incredibly polished and feels good to playalready offering more than 99% of the games on the App Store. The level editor is intuitive and easy to learn. The only thing we would suggest is an option to control where you fire your weapon. This would add a new dimension to the gameplay, opening up a lot of potential for future content and increasing the games longevity.
