This feels like a mechanic with so many edge cases. Like you can put it in 3 dimensions to get a really cursed sausagelike

Good idea, maybe in the future I’ll make “Bamboe Roentjing in 3D”. But making this game is just “spaghetti” cause I never make rotation in PS and just copy-paste other work just for that (click the source code link)

Question that Spoils the Puzzle's Start I've gotten the bamboo to split. I'm not really sure what causes it other then turning it into a corner, and the one in the middle area's column's top-left works. But from here, I can't seem to get the horizontal fragment to cross the gap while also letting the vertical fragment stab the guy up above. Any hint?

Gosh this is such a good hint. You’ve put words to a lot of the thinking I had yesterday.

Further Follow-Up Questions You are so right; I've been trying to stop the horizontal segment's vertical movement with the other bamboo, but that just causes the vertical segment to be trapped. So here's what I'm wondering: Is the puzzle solvable if you break the bamboo at the earliest point you can, in the top left? Or do I need to break the bamboo so that the horizontal segment is below the vertical segment? Swapping the segments in terms of vertical position seems impossible, which is why I'm wondering if I did the breakage too early.

I probably should set up my account so I can do the spoiler thing too, but for now: Jryy jura lbh oernx gur onzobb va gur gbc yrsg, gur fubeg ubevmbagny frtzrag vf orybj gur ybat frtzrag gung jvyy arrq gb or iregvpny, fb ernyyl lbh whfg arrq gb xrrc gurz gung jnl.

Thanks so much for believing in me. I solved the puzzle. I did it!!

Your last hint was so good. It’s so simple; all you said was

that they started in the right position so no swap was necessary. I hadn't even realized that I had been swapping them! It was my instinctual first move each time I did the split, so I never noticed that they started in the right arrangement.

It goes to show how easily our brains see past details, as if they’re literally past our vision.

Regardless, I have a question about my solution. Why isn’t the little half flung down in this move I did?

Wait what?
I just check the code and apparently that move just removes the roll property. That is not supposed to happened
Sorry for the inconvenience but I need to resolve that bug (And other bugs as well)

The intended solution Break the bamboo on the isolated wall
