Super Natural Habitat Destroyer is a game in which you control an angry lumberjack who is trying to gather as much wood as possible. However there are some beavers that live in the forest, and they won't let you destroy their habitat without a fight.

Controls:
The whole game is mouse controlled. Hold your mouse to move the character, move over enemies or trees to chop them.

Chopping down trees gives you logs, which can be used to upgrade your character. Beware though, chopping down trees will also spawn beavers at the beaver den.

The purpose of each level is destroying the beaver den. Levels ramp up in difficulty quick, so you might want to 'farm' and redo some levels to get stronger with upgrades.

3 days wasn't enough to finish the game, but it makes a nice prototype.

Really fun the controls need some tweaking and the 4th level unlocks but the sprite remains a lock.

Awesome job! The graphics are great and having an upgrade shop added some depth :D Looooved the muscle beavers! Hilarious!

I really liked this one! The tree chopping is fun, the upgrades are fun, this game is just a lot of fun in my honest opinion. The graphics are really cool, and the catchy son in the background is nice too. All in all, its a great game, and it would be nice to see more than 5 stages. I hope you work more with this.

This has to be the best gameover screen I've seen so far. Great art, and intersting concept.

I really like the presentation of this one. The controls need a bit of work. But it was fun!

Impressive entry, with nice graphics and animations, a funny take on the theme, and a classic but solid gameplay. I almost gave it the perfect mark on every category!

While the controls might feel a bit annoying when fighting large groups of beavers, you soon realize that with some skill you can actually avoid getting hurt by moving away just after you land a hit. The game's still a bit hard given that each beaver needs several hits to die, but overall it remains very fun to play.

Congrats!

very fun but very hard ! And you can spawn tree with the spacebar, I think it was for debug purpose and wasn't removed

I don't really know what to knock about this game. It feels pretty solid, other than the art perhaps needing a little touching up to fit the level of polish the rest of your game has. I think something I didn't like was having to walk into enemies as I killed them -- Might have been better to make a single click attack, and hold click to move. Otherwise, without adding more features to the game, this feels nice. Also, the music complimented the game.

Excellent character design, the title screen looks very attractive and interesting. Gameplay has some problems, the mouse control just makes you want this to be a keyboard/gamepad controlled game and the combat also feels less than what it could be.

With some gameplay rethinks and balances there are assets here to make a very nice game :)

I was surprised how much fun I had with this, and that game over screen is hilarious (and kinda creepy). It too bad I could figure out how to get past level 4 (game wouldn't move on to next level)....I wanted to play more.

Hey, he does look similar! I really liked this game. The only problem was I got stuck on level 3 when I destroyed the dam/home and nothing happened :(

Most fun game so far! Too bad there's no ending (people seem to get stuck after level 4 or so). Also it took me some time to notice the shop, but that's probably just me :-P

Fun game, very polished! It was difficult until I figured out that I can spawn trees with space!
