A infinite chopper has never been so fun. Feels good to land on green, but I wish you can make it feel even better! Its a bit disappointing to miss a chop, so punishing!
Took me a few trees to realize the chop happens when the spacebar comes up rather than when you press it down. Cool mechanic and I really like the happy faces on the trees. Such a monster chopping them down.
Excellent entry! Was fun and rewarding to get the timing down. Was hard at the beginning as the key up timing felt delayed but you learned to compensate for that.
Would probably need a few more timing mechanics to stop the line one from getting repetitive but wicked for the weekend of work.
Has a really nice feel to it, the chopping mechanic is core and works great, but:
- There's a delay between keypress and the cursor stopping, that's super irritating, it makes the misses all the more frustrating. - The rhythm change seems arbitrary, which doesn't feel good when it happens all the time - there should be a rhythm to it. - there didn't seem to be much point walking through the forest... Yeah I get that the big trees are harder, but you could also just easily swipe through trees. Platform walking was superfluous. - If the shop isn't working, remove the button :) And only having to use the mouse for one thing is irritating, it should be changed to keyboard controls entirely.
This is the ultimate chopping game. I loved everything about it. With a few additions (aka a pancake eating minigame) this could be the ultimate lumberjack simulator. Great work.
I love the timing-based system for chopping down trees. The bar moving faster with the more times you successfully chop was a nice touch and added a little difficulty. Very fun gameplay. The visuals were great too, and I feel like the audio suited the cartoon-y look. Great game.
I liked the pixel art graphics as well as the chopping mechanic. At the beginning I had trouble chopping the big trees and the red ones until I realized it is the keyUp event who triggers the chop. That's a weird design decision in my opinion but is fun to play once you know it. The Shop button doesn't work for me, may be I don't played it enough?
First of all, I love the take on the theme. It is so unusual, yet works very well. The graphics and sound were good and it does exactly what a good LD entry is supposed to: make one simple mechanic and run with it. It's a very well made entry!
Yeah, like the others it took me a bit to realize you chop when you release the spacebar. Once I had that down, I did much better. Really like the graphics and the sound and the animation.
I'll have to try the post-compo version, as I wanna go shopping :)
Worked really well, I wanted to keep going. Also I don't know if you built it that way but I had the feeling that red and big trees differed from the other trees. They weren't just harder they really became my rivals. At first I wanted to chop them really bad but later on I realized that I started to avoid them.
Those poor trees with their blinking, smiling faces :(
I think I would have preferred to have the rhythm integrated more into the main scene; your art was so beautiful I didn't want to be forced to look elsewhere.
This was really fun and had an interesting mechanic. Very polished all around! I do echo some of the other comments that it would have been good to have the chop happen on the down press of the spacebar!
Makes me want to go out and start chopping down trees! That is until I start coughing and wheezing on the second swing, so I'll just stick to Super Chop. Fun art style and the faces on the trees kill me. Hilarious. I liked how the chopping gauge markers bounced back and forth. Fun game!
Really fun. Don't think I blinked for like 10 minutes straight. That chopping mechanic is great and takes a lot of concentration! Great game. Theme seemed a little off..
Super cool game, love the story and graphics! I included it in part 28 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/UzsNzPlW29s

Great job!

Looking great, keep pushing it :)
i think this game might work well on mobile.

Thanks for this :)

Nice entry, funny gameplay and really cute graphic!
Well done! ;D
it was fun to chop!
i can imagine that with the shop opened and more different things to chop and power ups and such that this would be quite a fun game
nice one!
I liked how even the wood splinters have smiley faces :P
The concept might be simple but it's well executed and looks really nice. Good job!
