[Dextrous]

Can friends play together on PC and Switch? Thanks

Sorry, there are no plans for cross-platform.

That's too bad :( Would really open up your customer base!

Please add crossplay!

Why would you not add cross play?

[tecopark]

I'll explain a little technical about it.

First of all, PICO PARK is made by me alone as a hobby.
Game Design and Programming and Visual.
I have not created a team to add features easily.

The online play of PICO PARK is realized by P2P using the network function of Steam. It does not require a server.

Crossplay needs to be reworked into a server-client system by providing a server and stopping P2P. There are many parts that need to be rebuilt and this is very time consuming.

I have received a lot of requests for workshops, new levels, crossplay, mobile versions, and more.
I think it would be better to make a sequel that takes all of this into account rather than reworking it.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

You can try to crack your switch and install android :(
(Use android phone if you are smart)
Install steam link and search for tutoraial.
If you just bought this game in switch platform.
Try switch simulator and use Parsec to link your cracked switch(android phone).
You bought a switch, it seems that you are able to bought this game in PC platform.
What's more.
There is a project called"In-Home-Switch",you can have a try.
Have a nice day,
