How it feels

A zany, fast-paced arcade puzzle game where you draw lines to slice logs while cracking puns and avenging a tree-caused granny death.

What players say

Players say Jack Lumber is a mobile port that never felt right on PC, with mouse controls that are awkward compared to a touchscreen. It resembles Fruit Ninja but with a slow-motion cutting mechanic and a silly revenge story about a tree killing your granny. Some enjoy the casual fun and the beaver's puns, but others find the later levels frustrating and the game has not aged well.
