Wow interesting game! It was neat to be able to populate an originally barren land with some humble bamboo! I liked being able to track the location of the bonsai boys via their yelling and that giving me a clue to their proximity. They were very scary enemies! Would love to see this continue to get fleshed out even more and expanded!

Now that I got the game working, I found that it’s impossible to play: My movement speed is literally how a Snail would walk. It’s impossible to escape the Bonzai Boys like this. Contrary to the instruction manual, nothing happens when I click. The Bonzai Boys screaming is very annoying, which could be good if the game actually worked.
Do yourself a favor and Absolutely stay clear of this game.
Objectively untrue for other players. I've watched people play it live with perfect functionality. If it's broken it's a problem on your end, not mine. Vimino mentioned no such trouble on his Linux once the .pck solution was found. It's a dumb little game I made in less than 24 hours, but I will not have it slandered as non-functional when I have recorded proof of the contrary.
I just heard Banzai Boys screaming as they ran towards me but I couldn't even see them or run away. Ah, seems like I had to press "P" to change perspective and "J" to move faster.
The Linux executable is missing the PCK file. Thankfully the one coming with the Windows version works as a replacement.
I have an error if I attempt to run the game on Linux: The .pck file is missing.
Cute game. Not a lot of incentive to play for long though.
