Pipo is a beeping robot who appeared in the game Overblood. It was playable when it aided Raz Karcy early on in the game, but was eventually destroyed by an infected mutant. Many people found this little robot annoying but at the same time, the most entertaining part of the game. One move Pipo could was rapidly extend his head to grab or press something. Pipo's Beginnings Pipo gained fame after Game Informer's Super Replay of the game Overblood, which started on December 31, 2010. At the beginning of the game, The protagonist Raz Karcy finds Pipo in a room next to where the player begins. He finds a memory chip and inserts it into Pipo. Pipo comes to life and Raz asks what his name is. Pipo replied, "Pipo, Pipo!", which led Raz to call him Pipo. Throughout the beginning of the game, Pipo helps Raz obtain items, and to go into unreachable places like vents. Pipo also helps by working on computers and other elctronics, which Raz does not know how to use. Pipo's Final Moments Early on in the game, Raz Karcy and Pipo hear a woman screaming off in the distance. They run toward the scream, and they meet up with an infected mutant. Pipo jumps on its back, but it just throws it against the wall, as Raz pulls out a laser knife he found earlier on in the game and kills it. He then strides over to Pipo gets on his knees and screams "Pipoooooooo!!". Remembrance After Death After Raz runs into Milly Azray, the woman who screamed, they eventually get stuck in a decontamination chamber. While pondering on how to get out, Raz says "If Pipo were still here he could figure a way out." Milly then asks what he is talking about, but Raz just shrugs it off. You then hear Milly thinking, she assumes he is talking about the robot SR-19. Reception GameSpot described Pipo as a "small hyperactive robot". Just Adventure called Pipo a "cutesy robot", but stated that the scenes where the player controls Pipo can be "frustrating at times". Allgame called Pico "a numbingly annoying, but lovable little robot", and stated it "is the only thing enjoyable about this game".
