How it feels

A collection of mini-games that feel playful and arcade-like, mixing quick combat and casual dodge-ball with an experimental, secret-filled title screen.

What players say

Players see Bamboo EP as three small games in one, with Bamboo Heart being the main draw. It is fast paced and hard with only one life, often compared to Nidhogg. The controls are widely criticized as inconsistent and unchangeable, with no gamepad support, scaring off some players. Bamboo Ball is shallow and quick to bore.
