Chop Chop!
Made in about 3 hours
You work at a sawmill that uses a (fairly overengineered) dual-bladed axe to chop wood. Try not to miss too many logs!
Controls: AD or <> to control axe and (re)start game

I made a video on your game (53:49)
Hey thanks for checking out my game! It really means a lot to me you liked the music and I’m happy I was able to introduce you to rhythm games! Also nice job on making it to 211 :D
If you smash the arrows repeatedly, you can cheese through the game. Because you do not get penalized if you miss a log. Maybe add a penalty for this and also increase the number of logs as the game goes on would make the game more challenging.
Still, I love the aesthetics and the music, which seems kind of synced with the gameplay.
I would also add congrats on winning Trijam #227.
Hey thanks for finding that bug and for the suggestion! I’ve gone and implemented a slight penalty for missing a log by temporarily disabling the axe. Glad you liked the aesthetic and thanks again!
Oh, and the game freezes when I lose. Maybe it's my browser.
The game is much more challenging with that addition BTW !
Ah I think that’s just when the game resets, pressing left or right will start it back up again. Wasn’t exactly creative enough to come up with a lose screen so I just stop the music and delete all the logs on screen. Glad you liked the addition!
I noticed that you didn't actually win the jam. Were you over 3 hours ?
The leaderboard said that you were 1st with Tree Clicker. I'm just trying to understand the rating system.
It’s probably just that they can only list one game on the results page or something along those lines and since Campalans submitted earlier they got precedence? I don’t have any idea, but I’m actually curious myself.
My high score was 48 after a few rounds. Simple, but very fun. Everything about this is pretty polished. How did you do this in three hours?!
Glad you liked it! It took a ton of practice and planning ahead of time to get the time down to 3.
I am planning on joining the next trijam. How did you record and prove your time to show that it was only three hours?
You totally should join it’s a lot of fun! It’s really more of an honor-code kinda system. Pretty much, I just looked at my starting time and when I took a break I’d figure out how much time I used up and add that to my total time. Once I started to get close to the 3 hour mark that’s when I built the game and submitted the project.
Okay, thank you
189 highest score! Obviously not a very complex or "deep" game, but it was a fun time-spender :) -- Hope you had fun in the jam.
Hey good job! Nah I wanted to make something a little simpler this time around, but I had a blast making this one.
