Olda and Lilia Test Their Teamwork in Pico Park 2, Putting Off a Musical Duet

SQUARELIVE — Olda, of SquareLive (Monstar), played the two-player co-op puzzle platformer Pico Park 2 with Lilia on Thursday in a collaboration stream. The pair had meant to sing a musical together, and the stream’s title said they would instead “ruin each other’s friendship” first.

Much of the play was about getting two characters over obstacles at once. The two worked out how to stand on each other’s heads, argued over who should wait at a checkpoint and who should go ahead, and joked about stealing each other’s spotlight in a stage-themed level. One of them compared a stacked jump to a scene from a famous ship-sinking film, and the pair settled on jumping together on a count of three. Later, a block-pushing section sent them back and forth over where to find the key, and they decided a more skilled pair could clear it with a single block.

A harder section late in the evening took several tries before they cleared it, to cheers from both. Near the end, with the game’s remaining levels still ahead, the two turned to the musical duet they had set aside. They talked through a date for it and settled on the 27th.

Chat joined in on the jumping puzzles, noting that the pair had to jump together, and teased the players over their mistakes. Three Super Chats came in, one of them saying it was looking forward to the two singing musical songs together next time.
