Reviews for "Pico's School"

W0w!

I couldn't imagine how hard it'd be to make this w/o variables!

awsome

Great satire!

This game is not offensive at all. In fact, it's an extremely smart satire about a high school clique that one day decides to shoot their classmates. Many people will find the subject matter to be quite taboo, considering the fact that the game was made within months of the now infamous Columbine shootings. Make no mistake though, the satire in this flash is by no means offensive. It doesn't sensationalize the killings, but rather pokes fun at the media that tried to glamorize them. The media's conception of rock 'n' roll music, violent video games, gang violence, and goth subculture is also made fun of as well. You play as Pico, a popular student who is caught in the middle of a large genocide initiated when a goth student who sits next to you in class shoots the teacher and all your remaining classmates. After surviving this atrocity, you have you fight your way out of the school building with a machine gun you acquire from a nearby janitor's closet. The only part I don't like is when one of the gunmen transform into a large insect monster with a humongous...''ego''.

Whether or not this game is offensive is up to the player, but in my opinion, it's a smart, funny satire that does a better job at addressing the ever-growing problem we're having with school shootings than any of those artsy-fartsy independent films released in the wake of the Columbine shootings.

AWESOME

I'm serious, this is a really inspiring game. It's really suited to my tastes :)
Trust me on this one

Fun,still today

Very original game by an original creator :) I've been playing this on an old account since 2004, and now the medals have been released i've had another shot at it.

Make more Pico type games, just like this one :)

Keep up the GREAT work.
