If I may comment on the mechanics: I feel that some of the attractions of clicker/incremental games, is that there is constantly visible "progress" (i.e. watching a score grow bigger), and that you can increase this score by a simple direct action (i.e. by clicking on something).
Hence, I think that the "feel" of the game might be improved, by removing the cool-down on the clicker-button, so that there is a "direct action" constantly available (it won't matter after the first few lumber jacks anyway).
Similarily, changing the update frequency of the lumberjacks (so that the counter updates more frequently), would make the pacing of the game seem faster (since the counter would be increasing constantly, instead of once per three seconds)
Besides that, the gameplay's too short and repetitive.
The graphics could use some work, particularly that black text on the dark colors was hard to read. Audio was not really there, but I'm glad you included a mute button.
Congratulations on finishing the compo!
