Luxurious Panama Hats is a game about growing a tree while fighting off Monty Python-esque hands with your thorns. Don't let them get all your leaves!

CONTROLS:
Z: Descend left / Confirm selection
C: Descend Right / Cycle selection
The game mechanic is centered around a binary tree, meaning at each branch (starting at the main trunk) you can choose to travel either left(Z) or right(C).
If you travel into an empty space you will be prompted to choose a new branch (in gray) for that node, using C to cycle through them and Z to confirm. Once you have confirmed you will return to the root.
If you travel into a terminal node (leaf, thorn, twig) then pressing Z will return you to the root.
The hands will randomly target a leaf on the tree and reach down and try to pluck it. If the hand hits a thorn on its way to pluck the leaf, the thorn will fall off and the hand will retreat. If it reaches the leaf, however, it will pluck it and leave behind a twig which cannot be removed or built on.
The goal is to grow as many leaves as you can before the hands pluck all of them! Good luck!
