Pico Sim Date 2 Overview
Pico Sim Date 2 was one of those games you'd find on a Flash portal in the late 2000s. It fit right in with the simple, often humorous dating sims that were popular then. The game was made by Tom Fulp, known for the Newgrounds site, and it carried that same straightforward, slightly irreverent style.
You control a small, pixelated character trying to impress a girl. The moment to moment play involves clicking on objects around a room to perform actions. You might lift weights, play a video game, or change your clothes, each choice affecting your stats in categories like strength or coolness. Your main objective is to raise these stats high enough before time runs out, so the girl will agree to go out with you. The pacing is quick, with a timer counting down, which adds a light pressure to your choices. It feels like a silly, low stakes puzzle where you're figuring out which actions yield the best points.
