I used to play games on Newgrounds all the time back in the early 00s and mascots like Pico, Alien Hominid, StrawberryClock, etc. were mainstays of the website.
Pico is a bit of an oddity now. As a concept, he represents everything over-the-top edgy about the 90s, which I get. I would just say that it hasn't aged particularly well and is more cringeworthy than anything, now.
The game, for what it is, actually has some fun moments. I think Fulp was doing some interesting things for an indie Flash developer in 1999 with this release and the subsequent growth of Newgrounds.
Overall, unfortunately, I'd say that edgelord plotting outweighs any fun game mechanics.
4/10
