Hi there, It took a time for me to find out how to chop down a tree. Couldn't find out how to use the other tools or doing anything other then sawing trees down. But your graphics are fine and simple.

This it on purpose, that I cant go diagonal? :) Some sounds would be cool. But nice idea!

Thanks for the feedback. @guckstift I'll append my description with a better explanation of the controls. @zugende sadly yeah, moving diagonally is possible but I didn't think of a way to implement it until this morning, there was sound at one point but Java didn't like it on Linux so I scrapped it. Hopefully there will be sound in the post-jam edition.

I really like the aesthetic of it all, but I found it quite confusing.

The player has to be lined up really close to a tree to cut it (I didn't think you could after failing a few times). I also didn't understand how I was supposed to fulfill contracts. I was able to create crates from the trunks I collected, but didn't see a place to put them or anything?

Animations are all very slick, game works nicely :)

Congrats to do a game with java. I miss some sounds, and it is not enough natural to play in my opinion. The trigger to use the machines are too small and I couldnt manage to perform the tasks on the right.

Bit confusing but nice chopping game :D. I like the concept

I'm stuck behind the car! Help me! xD

More seriously:
The truck was nicely hidden. Luckily I'd red your post, so I knew where to find it. The second problem is movement - it's not natural (e.g. cannot go up & right at the same time). However I like the notifications and general concept. Good job!

Nice little crafting game. I like the animations of the yellow robot. Very well done!

I liked the idea, but I agree with a lot of people here that the movement wasn't as smooth as it could be. However, good job on making a game with Java!
Also, I tried putting my crates on the truck, but I couldn't seem to (every time I used the action key, it just sawed the truck instead). At one point, I also got stuck inside the truck, so I presume that's a bug that needs fixing. I liked the robot's animations and sprites though. Good luck with a post-competition version if you make one!
