Pikuniku

Pikuniku is an absurdly wonderful puzzle-exploration game that takes place in a strange but playful world where not everything is as happy as it seems.

To do:

  • Possibly a quest related to baskick?
  • Document DJ Tree object (usually hidden) in the mountain village.
  • Unused code for co-op version of the rhythm game.
