PICK A BOO co-op action game launches on Steam at 960 yen

Game & Co. released the co-op action game PICK A BOO for PC via Steam on November 9, according to Automaton Media. The title is developed by Toydium and is priced at 960 yen including tax during a 20% launch sale that runs until November 16.

PICK A BOO supports online multiplayer for up to six players. Players control a doll that collects furniture and memories within a time limit and carries them back to a truck base, while avoiding surveillance and enemies.

Stages are procedurally generated, so the layout changes with each attempt. A magnetism ability lets players float and carry several items at once, and clumps of formed items can be used to attack enemies.

The spherical player character can swap out its four limbs for enhanced parts that grant abilities such as flamethrowers and beam attacks. Collecting cargo grants experience, and leveling up allows players to carry larger and more items at once.
