Timber Panic

There has been a massive fire that destroyed most of the surrounding forest. With wood suddenly in short supply, prices have surged and everyone is trying to profit from the situation. You decide to join in, realizing that the trees in your backyard, which until now served only as a source of shade, might finally be useful. Armed with your trusty axe, you head out to start chopping. The gameplay is straightforward. Approach a tree and hold the button until it falls. After that, haul the wood to the truck parked in your garage and sell it. There are six types of trees, each offering a different payout. In addition to logs, you sometimes collect extra items like leaves, branches, or resin. You can also process certain trees into planks, which take longer to produce but earn you significantly more money. Cash is essential for upgrading your chopping power, which in turn unlocks new tree types. You can also upgrade your backpack to carry more items before needing to sell them, as well as increase your stamina, which depletes both when swinging the axe and when sprinting. Just as important is investing in tree spawn rate and the number of trees that appear in your yard. No matter what…

Got recommended the game, and it was about 4 USD when it finally released, so I bought it; didn't really expect much or get much. the gameplay loop is nice, but nothing much to write home about. there are a few obvious bugs/typos that I saw with no seeming way to report them (Spruce Logs > Planks recipe talks about Birch instead of spruce; and Beech Logs > Planks recipe has the locked icon stuck over it after unlock; every now and then the trees interact weirdly with the physics engine, resulting in trees falling partially through the ground upon spawn, or at an odd angle relative to the ground, or fully horizontal floating.) It also appears that some of the game assets are AI art, though I couldn't be certain overall. The game overall seems like it would be a good Early Access title, but not a full release game. I would rate it a 5/10 compared to what it was marketed as. I would say that if it was an Early Access title, 7/10 Some features that I would like to see added: the ability to sell partial amounts of things in your inventory instead of all of it. It is very annoying when I am saving up for something with both money and planks as a cost that I have to sell only logs and …

Do you recommend this game? Maybe, but: I checked out this demo when it first came out and I was pretty excited about what was going to be next for the game. When it came out it was four dollars and that a decent price for me to give it a look. The art style is great, sky visuals are beautiful, the sounds and chopping is good, not grating when listening/seeing it the whole time. The upgrading system was fine, I did not care for the health draining when stamina gets too low but I could live with it. It has a small backstory which was enough for me and did not need to be anything in depth. I wish there was something to do about the night time other than sleeping, like maybe you could buy a torch, headlamp or something else to light up the yard. If you do sleep through the night, I could get it if it also replenished your stamina but paying just to pass the night time was not really worth it to me. I was fine that the game was short, very minimal to it. Beyond what was mentioned above, I had two other thoughts: 1. I wish there was an ending, just something. I had everything upgraded, everything unlocked and up to max and there was nothing. It felt unfulfilling. I did not kno…

it's a techical demo not a game 3 type of upgrades, plot to buy and just boring cut -> sell loop Why iy's not marked as early access if it's not finished and there is a roadmap in description?
