Very fun game, has leaderboards which I love, great devs, many different characters and unlockable characters, simple but addicting. Absolutely worth the 99 cents.Show moreShow less

Yeah I know this is cheap and *mildly* entertaining, but I just cannot give this a 'thumbs-up' with a straight face. C'mon guys this is a mobile game, at best (which, obviously it was first). My problem with this title is simple really - the mechanic is just too basic. It was made to spam-tap on a phone.
Controller support is nice, as are the leaderboards, but there is definately not enough here to keep me coming back.Show moreShow less

Despite the Overwhelmingly Positive rating from Steam I am giving this a downvote. Now, before the fan boys start bashing me for going against the wave, I'd rather you read the review first and see for yourself if I have a legitimate reason for not recommending this.
The game is addictive..... or not?
The top reviews you'll see on the store page will say the same thing. This game is very addicting. Maybe that's true.. maybe it's not it varies from person to person as for me, it's not addicting one bit. I was itchy to keep retrying and beat my previous score when I first bought the game but after closing it one time I never bothered playing the game again. (though I did relaunch few times for one of the achievements) The mechanics is simple and yet hard to be very good since there will always be people faster than you. This is not bad overall and I've seen worse games but, I could not find the reason to buy this on my next life regardless of price.
Lack of Content
What you see in the screen is what you get. No upgrade, no other game modes. The only thing you can change is the appearance of your character which wouldn't really matter that much as most of the time you'll be focused on the tree and your score. There is a multiplayer which is pretty neat but in the end its exactly the same as singleplayer except your competing with actual humans.
But, the price is cheap!
The price of a game being cheap is not valid for it to suck, to be boring, or to lack content. You might be able to get this for less than a dollar or even free but, games like this should remain to where they originally belong. Mobile play-stores.Show moreShow less

> "30 million players can't be wrong!"
No, apparently they can.
Too simplistic. Trailer shows you all the possibilities and gameplay. No upgrades, no different gamemodes, no anything, only skins that don't affect gameplay in any way. Maybe fun if playing with friend, but I better play some REAL games. Got my money back for the first time ever.
TL; DR:
Flappy Bird, but with axe and a tree.Show moreShow less

Timberman is a very simple, yet addicting game

This is a port of a mobile game, although it totally works fine on the PC.
There are only two controls, cut left, or cut right. Which means that both controller or keyboard controls are sufficient.
Your objective is to cut the tree as much as you can without dying. On both sides of the tree, there are branches. If you cut the tree from the left side, and a branch falls onto your head, you lose. So instead, you switch to the other side to cut from the right. It's a very simplistic idea, but can have you constantly trying to top your previous score.
As you play the game, you'll unlock new characters to use. They don't play different, it's purely cosmetic.
You can also play local or online multiplayer. You win a round by either cutting your tree a lot faster than your opponent, which causes your side of the bar to reach their side, or if they simply mess up and die from a branch.
Overall, it's an incredibly cheap game, with added multiplayer and characters over its mobile version. Simple, yet very addicting.Show moreShow less

I only purchased it because of the "overwhelmingly positive" reviews, but one quick glance at the said reviews and I can see my mistake. They're not objective in the slightest.
Yeah, it's pretty well made, but underneath the polish is just a typical cheap arcade game that you could easily find on even the most basic of gaming websites.
The game has that "just one more go" thing, but it's not because I'm having fun, it's because I'm so infuriated with my failure that I'm driven to try again. That doesn't make a game good, it makes it manipulative.
If you enjoy causal gaming like this, then spending money on a platform like Steam to indulge in it is a bad idea, you can easily get better games on mobile for free.Show moreShow less

Timberman is on Steam! I was not aware originally, that this is the legit product with 30 million downloads. I was first introduced to this style of gameplay with an app that came to Steam called Tiki Man. I thought Tiki Man was really great, but I was unaware that there was a much more complete offering coming to Steam.
First of all, gameplay-wise, they are very similar, all you do is push left or right to chop the tree (or tiki) to advance, but there are branches to avoid, so you want to hit the right side of the tree. You have to do this as fast as you can, and it takes a lot of practise to excel.
The main difference is that this game is FAR more polished. This wasn't just thrown together and listed on Steam. What are the differences, in such a simple game? They are vast.
- Steam Cloud
- widescreen graphics (tiki man is only 4:3 aspect)
- controller support
- local co-op side-by-side action!
- online play!
- achievements!
- trading cards!
- leaderboards!
- half of the price!
There are so many reasons to love this game. My favorite is the Steam Leaderboards (+ Cloud), because what better way to encourage you to do better and better is to see how your ranking changes worldwide. Also the couch co-op style of competitive multiplayer is a great, I can't wait to find someone to try it out with me.
This is the real deal, folks. Buy this game. It is a very, very high quality tree cutting thing. Super addictive, and it has everything you could ask for.
The game is like $1, which is a very good value, but if you wanted you could try it in your web browser for free (with ads plastered everywhere).

It's probably fun to other people, but the prospect of constantly mashing a button and flipping to another button to mash just made me think of how much I'd be straining my arm.Show moreShow less
