Entertaining. I ended up as an avenging ghost mind, charging through the woods, and killing the -3 men left to defeat.

Ahah it was pretty fun, really liked the -10 people i killed and the -2 lives ;)

Hahaha, thanks. Yep, I was working on the ending when the time was over, so I couldn't solve this quirk. It's a shame because what happens at the end is not very clear, but since it's not a crash I don't think it's fair to publish a fix for the compo

Surprisingly fun! Even the killer ghost ending somehow added rather than detracted from the experience. If you make a post-compo version, I recommend keeping some version of this bug, maybe a flying ghost chopping down an infinite forest...

Really enjoyable game and cool graphics/sound effects. I couldn't deduce what was happening at the end though, is it intentional that a tree slams you down?

Yay awesome ghost killer hunter axe man killing -10 people and chopping -3 trees. That was a fun experience. But pressing 5 to play again did not result in anything.

By the way, your link says Windows, but I hacked the system and was able to play it on my MacBook on OSX ;) ... better change it so people know they can play it on another system.

Awesome game, had a lot of fun. Was humorous and fun.

@BarrensZeppelin yes, that's what you get for being a villain! Unfortunately I lacked the time to make it clearer.

@metadept indeed, this is giving some positive feedback! A ghost would be a good idea, thanks

This was fun but I can't seem to get beyond the last couple of knights to earn my prize. Is there some strategy? Pressing 5 resulted in a broken screen.

For some reason I really like how the trees fell, but im not sure why. The timing to kill indians seemed a bit odd, but it was still entertaining for sure!

@joekinley I updated the link to Web instead of Windows, thanks!

@joekinley @zenmumbler yes, the 5 button bugged out, you think it's ok if I fix this?

Take that you stupid trees!

A nice quick and fun game. Running around as a vengeful spirit after I died was pretty hilarious, even if it wasn't intended.

Ghost mode is so cool, haha.

wuhao 2012-12-20 03:25

hey pretty fun game, i like how when you died, you can still hack people lol

sanojian 2012-12-20 18:56

Wow the end is hard. Sometimes you get hit before the new screen is done transitions, which is unfortunate. Overall very fun!

3rd lumberjack-themed game I've come across, I guess they must be evil :D
Gameplay is very entertaining and satisfying. Graphics are ok and sound effects too. The only thing lacking is some good fighting music.

spelchan 2012-12-27 21:53

Enjoyable game. Not sure why the hate for lumber-jacks, though in this case he was also a murderer. Liked how the trees fell, especially when they took out enemies. Really poor ending sequence. I think I get what you were going for in the ending but sadly I think the deadline beat you there.

Cool! Very much retro fun!

Hi, thanks for your feedback! I've made a post-compo version in case you're interested: http://jhcp.github.com/LD25
