$0.99Timberman Two Buttons, One Very Tall Tree
Timberman is a two-button arcade chopper: pick a side of the trunk, swing, dodge the branch. With co-op friends it turns into fast rounds of lumberjack chicken, locally for up to four or online against friends and strangers, plus an eight-player Timbermill Mode. Easy to learn, hard to put down.

Chop together or knock each other out
You take a lumberjack, stand left or right of the trunk, and chop as fast as you can while hopping clear of branches. One wrong side and the run ends, so matches stay short and loud.
For co-op friends, that simplicity is the point. You can play local multiplayer with up to four on one machine, face a friend or a random opponent online, or pile into Timbermill Mode for eight. There is no lobby homework here, just pick a timber-hero, start chopping, and see whose rhythm breaks first. Losing to a branch you saw coming is part of the fun.
One tree, four forests, many hats
The solo loop is pure score attack. Chop to keep the timer alive, swap sides to avoid branches, and chase your best on the leaderboards. It is easy to play and hard to master, with speed doing most of the bullying.
Around that loop sit four variable environments and 32 plus 5 exclusive Steam Timbermen to unlock, including Dark Father. The look is oldschool pixel art, the pace is fast, and the humor comes from the cast rather than jokes. You chop a while, unlock a new lumberjack, and go again for one more record.
Good to know?
Can you play it solo?
Yes. Solo is score attack: chop, dodge branches, keep the timer going, and chase records on the leaderboards. It suits short sessions, a few minutes at a time, when you want reflex practice between multiplayer rounds.
How hard is it to learn?
Very easy to start. You only choose left or right and chop, swapping sides when a branch is in the way. The difficulty comes from speed and the shrinking timer, where one late move ends the run. That easy-to-play, hard-to-master curve is the whole game.
What do you unlock?
Unlocks change your lumberjack and backdrop, not the chopping rules, so they give you new looks to chase while you work on records.
