"Fill your rage bar in time or you'll be heading to the unemployment office!"

This is my real life as a freelance programmer.

Fun game, love the non-stop frantic action. I was sortof just spamming the ZXC keys though :P

Needs some key-spam-protection, but bonus points for nonsensical achievements! (Actual bonus points for online leaderboards.)

I get the reasoning behind the stump/vine slowdown mechanic, but it's soooper frustrating (I felt actual lumberjack rage; mission accomplished? ;]).

Cool entry guys! Love the mechanic.

Funny game, it's too easy to just run around spamming ZXC. The game started to lag horribly after sometime and I failed because of it. Good but unpolished.

The dance mode was hilarious!

Looks great! Fun to run around bashing all the tree letters. Music was really rad too.

joedev_net 2013-08-28 01:45

It was fun destroying the trees. The art and music were both really well done.

I did notice when my score got up to about 3000ish that it began to lag a bit, which resulted in my death.

Overall, good entry, I enjoyed it!

Very nice game and a cool idea, great job. It took me a moment to realise the vines were slowing me down, i also found it maybe slowed me slightly too much. Very enjoyable though :-)

Really fun game! Like others, I was just mashing ZXC, so that probably could have been reduced to one attack key. And maybe make the roots slow you down a little less? I'll stop complaining now, 'cause I really enjoyed it! Nice music too :)

How quirky and random :D Jokes apart, really enjoyed playing it, the controls felt a bit random at first (patches of dirt really slow you down *hardcore*) but it was a very fun experience.

Looking forward to see what you do next Ludum Dare :)

<3 Dance Mode!
Bizarre combination of ideas, ha ha, and fun to play

Fun button mashing game. Didn't quite feel in control, but the extras like leadership board and dance game are cool

crazi456 2013-08-29 01:23

Very fun! Awesome artwork. Great music, just awesome overall!

tiagoair 2013-08-29 05:55

very funny game! very relaxing to go frenetic on the little wood letters hahaha, great soundtrack too! great job!

2013-08-29 06:09

Nice game but it had some loading issues - sometimes the game just froze and after a few seconds I was teleported to the next level. Don't know if this was a feature or a bug. Very good idea!

hypnohustla 2013-08-29 08:28

Nice solid game! It had some fps issues though and the slowdown from the dirt seemed a bit unnecessary. The chiptune was the best I've heard from any game! :)

hypp 2013-08-29 16:00

Nicely done!

wally2069 2013-08-29 17:34

Stupid trees, I chop you down good

awppy 2013-08-29 17:47

That dance mode! :D

flyingbear 2013-08-29 21:04

Totally demented, but in a good way! The lumberjack dance animations cracked me up!

unept 2013-08-29 22:06

LOL, funny and fun. I just missed the top 10 leader board! Those slow mud puddle worm things sure got frustrating, but still a fun experience overall.

(Psst, my game has an angry lumberjack in it too! Now we're buddies!)

bneutral 2013-08-30 04:06

Dance mode is best mode. The normal game has some performance issues.

zedutchgandalf 2013-08-30 06:32

It's pretty easy to just keep spamming the ZXC-buttons, but other than that this is a fun and well polished game :)

gigabass 2013-08-30 08:04

Very humurous game :) Random, funny and feels polished!

qbit 2013-08-31 04:27

BOOM :)

triplevisiongames 2013-08-31 10:01

Looks great and really fun! The movement seemed a bit unpredictable but I don't know if that was my PC being weird?

graytest 2013-09-01 10:46

Started pretty good. But after a while it started lagging and my whole browser froze (chrome).

garethiw 2013-09-02 17:51

This is a serious game.

cwkx 2013-09-10 14:58

A crazy lumberjack chomping up letters for 10 seconds of rage... awesome!

crueltear 2013-09-14 22:58

Nice graphics but game has some bugs.
Once I was walking on the way and in one moment I went into tree.
There was a road on left and right, but I couldn't go through there.
And I wasn't able to send score, there isn't ignore button, so I had to reload page.
But it's simple and funny game.
