Very fun game once I figured out a strategy I used it and it worked. I didn't play too much so I wasn't sure but, were the levels getting harder?

Feels polished. Nice example of a game that uses the allowed dev time well.

It took me a while to figure out how to chop down trees. I didn't really like that

Hi.. thank you!

@Static_boy123
No, levels are not getting harder :V It was planned to be like this but it was one of the many features I couldnt add due to time :/

I guess we can call it "fake-scanlines-like-big-pixel-look"

It's good I would have liked to beat up the ranger though >.<

Chopping down trees is strangely satisfying. Dunno if it is the sound or the screen shake.

Felt far too good to cut down trees for being such a mindless task. A well realized game for the short amount of dev time, wish the menu music looped and continued playing during the game.

I finally worked out what to do and then a tree fell on me, nice touch.

Left you some feedback on Kongregate, but I really enjoyed it. I really like how different your game is, even with the same general concept. Awesome work!

If I had to knitpick, I would say it would be nice to see some WASD controls added.

Feels very polished considering the dev time. The scanlines are a nice touch.

Made me laugh and couldn't really figure out why Luigi didn't want Mario to cut down the trees. Nice job!

Good solid controls, I like the fact you need to avoid the falling trees, it is a nice secondary mechanic.

Simple and everything works well, solid entry.

Pretty solid. Liked the art and music. Player controls were a little laggy in response and I think you could tighten them up. Didn't really like that trees could fall on me and that I had to chop them from the bottom? Feedback on cutting down trees felt great. Lot of potential here so I'd keep working on it. Solid idea.

A very fun game, when I manage how to fell the tree without getting hit. Very good pixel graphics. Love chopping sound and visual effect. :)
