This app does not simply compete for speed, but features a timing-oriented rule in which the score fluctuates depending on the length of the extended bamboo shoot. If the harvest is too early, too young bamboo shoots with the faces of babies and children will be harvested, and if it is too late, the bamboo shoots that have passed the season of the uncle's and grandfather's features will be harvested. Harvest and aim for a high score.

If the bamboo shoots are harvested too late, they will grow into bamboo, so be careful.
