Unused Graphics

A leftover idle animation from Pico's School.

Pico's front shooting animation isn't used anywhere, either.

Revisional Differences

After the game was first published, The Jim Henson Company sent Fulp an email requesting the game to be removed due to copyright infringement. As a result of this, the game was quickly updated to make a number of aspects less infringing.

The game was updated again in 2006.

Title Screen

Original	2006

The 1999 Newgrounds logo was replaced with the 2006 one.

Original	1999 Update	2006

The original title, Bloodshed in the Big Blue House, was changed to Bloodshed in the Big House that Blew. The 2006 update changed it to simply Pico VS Bear, with the font gaining a fancy outline in the process.

The Newgrounds.com link on the top of the screen was removed in the 2006 update.

Character Redesigns

Original	1999 Update

Bear received the most drastic redesign, although that isn't really saying much. His fur was darkened to make him look more like a grizzly bear, he was given an Army helmet, and his name was changed to Bary. In addition, the Big Blue House was brightened a bit.

The majority of his cohorts were recolored and renamed as well, although their descriptions still namedrop various episodes of the series.

Original	1999 Update

While Ojo (Hoe-Joe) remains the same, Snowbear (Hoe-Bear) is now part-pink.

Original	1999 Update

Pip and Pop (Piss and Poop) were recolored brown (living up to their name).

Original	1999 Update

Tutter (Titty) was recolored purple, although a strand of hair on the right ear is still blue.

Original	1999 Update

Treelo (Creepo) was recolored orange.

Music

Original	1999 Update

The 2-second music loop was replaced with much longer and more fitting music.

Credits

Original	1999 Update	2006

Aside from the name of the game being changed, the parody disclaimer was revised, making Fulp's distaste for The Jim Henson Company quite clear (though still calling Jim himself a genius). The music credits were updated as well.

This screen wasn't altered for the 2006 update (other than the removal of the Newgrounds logo), meaning it still refers to the game by its second name.
