Jack Lumber

[h1]В лес зайду, заломаю берёзу, Распилю вековечный я дуб. Нет, не сволочь я жизни противной! Я – весёлый смешной лесоруб![/h1] Это история о простом канадском парне Джеке, лучшем лесорубе на районе. Бабушку Джека когда-то раздавило волшебное дерево и, с тех пор, он ненавидит деревья. Нет, не так, он НЕНАВИДИТ деревья и способен вырубать их акрами на мелкие поленья. Чем мы и будем заниматься. Мимо нас пролетают поленья и нам надо порубить их на дрова. Рубить их нужно только вдоль и делать это надо быстро, за это дают бонусные очки. Со временем, появляются новые виды поленьев: некоторые надо рубить с одной стороны, некоторые по несколько раз, есть замороженные, а есть, дающие дополнительное время. Вся эта прелесть добавляется постепенно и придаёт приятное разнообразие на каждом уровне. Все нарубленные дрова у нас скапливаются в виде валюты, на которую мы сможем купить сиропы, позволяющие поправлять ошибки во время зарубов, и бороды, заметно осложняющие игру, но дающие много дополнительных очков. После каждого уровня у нас появляется новое животное, которое поселяется в нашей хижине. К концу игры их набивается целая комната. В них можно потыкать, тогда они забавно подпрыгивают и издают смешные звуки. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3250650275 Так как игра с мобильников, особыми красотами она не страдает. Фоны меняются от эпизода к эпизоду, поленья разной толщины, да небольшая анимация про то, как Джек богатырски замахивается перед лесорубством. Очень забавно нарисованы животные, становится интересно, кого нам подсунут в следующий раз. Мобильная аркада, перенесённая на компьютер. Немного поиграть и поубивать время, самое оно.

[h1] Rather s**** excuse for a mobile game on PC. Slash wooden logs using your mouse and see how they're chopped. Nothing more than you will get from a mobile game. [/h1]

Jack Lumber is a game about being a lumber jack. Finally getting around to reviewing this game after it was gifted to me in...2013!? Uh oh. You play as Jack Lumber, the lumber jack. After your Grannie was killed by a sentient tree, it becomes your goal to go out into the woods and KILL NATURE. Or just chop every log you see. You do this by waiting for the logs to fly through the air and then, at the right time, either holding down the shift key or clicking down on your mouse to to slow down time. Then you drag your mouse down the wood so you “chop it”, you get more points if you do it with good time or in a straight go. There are also special logs like ones that slow down your timer or can only be cut in a certain way. There are also T shaped logs and L shaped logs and other bonuses and set backs like maple syrup that gives you extra logs to chop but they hold still and a barrel that explodes to take out multiple logs. At the end you have to chop logs around an animal without chopping the animal because your quarrel is with trees, not nature, and... Actually that's it, that's the whole game. At the end of every set of stages you get a series of still images acting as cut scenes that progress the story but that's about it. You can buy single use power ups and new cosmetics for jack, I guess. This is one of those casual games that you play when you have absolutely nothing else to do or are stuck on a toilet, although bringing your PC into the bathroom or public restroom probably isn't the best idea. Unless you're into that. I don't control your life. Honestly, this game is perfect for when you're on the phone. Is it on the phone? It probably is. That being said, its not for me, but I'm not really into these sorts of games outside of One Finger Death Punch. If you like casual “Pick up and play' sort of mini games, then this is perfect for you. The 35 minutes I spent playing personally felt like two hours. I can't give it a proper score since I can SEE why people would like it, but why I don't. Its like playing Flash games before flash disappeared. Or Shockwave games if you're ancient. Jack Lumber gets a killed tree out of an alive tree. The Queen of England has two birthdays. Special thanks to Melchiott for sending me Jack Lumber the Lumber Jack who Jacks Lumber.

[i]Деревья - ЗЛО! Это ещё Шьямалан в «Явлении» показал![/I] Вот однажды на любимую бабушку Джека [strike]кукумбера[/strike]лесоруба упало дерево. Оно упало не просто так, а со злым умыслом! Поэтому взял безутешный Джек топор и пошёл до другого конца леса деревья валить. А чтобы совсем неповадно было, начал аки фруктовый ниндзя расщеплять брёвна, в воздух подкинутые, да так чтоб им побольнее было. А дрова эти, дабы спастись да насолить Джеку, в конце концов прыгают вместе с новой зверюгой лесной, надеясь, что он её топором того... Кругом насилие.

Nice game

This game is all about enthusiastically endorsing ecoterrorism against trees because they wronged a granny. I have finally discovered the most noble cause in gaming history. REVENGE. Not against evil wizards. Not against space aliens. Not against ancient gods. TREES. Those oxygen-producing wooden freeloaders with their bark-covered bodies and leafy green hair. Why? Because one of them murdered Jack's granny. That's right. The trees crossed a line. And now we're going to turn the entire forest into premium-grade firewood. Justice has never been so environmentally questionable. The premise is gloriously simple. Trees kill Granny. Jack gets angry. Nature receives a strongly worded axe to the face. 10/10 storytelling. No notes. But don't let the simple setup fool you. This game is secretly a tiny mechanical demon disguised as a cheerful puzzle game. At first it looks easy. Wood flies onto the screen. You pause time. You draw lines through the wood. Wood explodes. Brain receives happy chemicals. Everybody wins. Except the trees. Especially the trees. Then the game starts introducing new mechanics and suddenly your confidence gets thrown into a woodchipper. Some trees need one slice. Some need multiple slices. Some explode. Some intentionally mess with your brain. Some exist purely to make you question whether your eyes are functioning correctly. And before you know it you're staring at the screen like a sleep-deprived mathematician trying to solve advanced geometry with an axe. The best comparison I can make? Remember those old Harry Potter games where you had to trace spell patterns perfectly? Now imagine those moments after they consumed twelve energy drinks and developed a personal hatred for forests. That's Jack Lumber. When you pause time, everything becomes a frantic race against your own coordination. Your mouse hand suddenly becomes the most important organ in your body. You need precision. You need speed. You need the ability to draw clean lines while your brain is screaming: "SLICE THE WOOD! SLICE THE WOOD! SLICE THE WOOD!" And that magical pause ability? Yeah. It doesn't last forever. The game knows exactly when you're getting comfortable. The game sees your confidence. The game waits. And then it smacks you across the face with a new level designed by what I can only assume was a sadistic woodland spirit. You start thinking: "Oh, I've got this." The next level immediately responds: "No you don't, cupcake." Cue the rage. Cue the panic. Cue the frantic mouse movements. Cue the accidental mistakes that make you question years of motor skill development. Getting through the game is one thing. Getting PERFECT scores? OH HO HO. Now we're entering full goblin mode. You'll replay levels. You'll optimize routes. You'll shave milliseconds off your reactions. You'll stare at flying bark fragments like a stock trader analyzing market patterns. And somehow you'll love every second of it. Because that's the magic of Jack Lumber. It's easy to learn. Ridiculously hard to master. And every successful run delivers enough adrenaline to power a small city. The gameplay loop is so satisfying that chopping virtual wood starts feeling like a legitimate recreational activity. By the end you'll be slicing bark with the confidence of a caffeinated samurai lumberjack. Jack Lumber takes a ridiculous premise, combines it with brilliant mechanics, and somehow turns tree destruction into one of the most satisfying puzzle experiences around. Come for the revenge. Stay for the escalating hand-eye coordination crisis. Leave with the reflexes of a woodland assassin and a completely unjustified distrust of trees. The trees know what they did.

Jack Lumber would have been average for its time, but it hasn't aged well. It's one of those games that should have stayed in 2013 in the mobile market. This is that title that you find in your steam wish list because it was on sale for $0.25 or included in a humble bundle. Even playing through it to try to get achievements is proving to be painful.

No steam cloud...

Unfortunately playing Jack Lumber on PC with mouse is rather awkward and that's why i don't really recommend this game. This game definitely better for mobile device to pass device. But at least Steam version of this game doesn't seem to have any in-game purchases.

Piccolo passatempo indie che riesce a essere divertente. Il gameplay è semplice dovete tagliare tronchi con precisione e al momento giusto, ci sono inoltre potenziamenti e obiettivi extra.
