## Description
_Yosaku_ is an action game where the player takes control of a lumberjack who
has to cut down two trees. The game is viewed from the side and the player can
move left and right while using his axe to chop away at the trees. The player
is not alone as various violent animals interrupt him during his work. These
include pigs that rush across the screen, birds that drop eggs from above and
snakes that attacks from beneath the ground. If contact is made with the
animals the player loses one of his initial six lives. To defend himself the
player can jump away from the animals or he can use his axe to kill them. The
player also has to watch out for branches falling from the trees. Points are
earned for hitting the trees. To fell a tree a number of hits on each side of
it is needed. Once both trees are cut down the game continues with two new
trees.
