250K Games - Timberman, a delightful game that will bring out your inner lumberjack

250K Games - Timberman

If you're in search of a fun time waster game for your Windows Telephone, give 250K Games - Timberman a try. The game is incredibly simple to choice up but, as is oft said, a challenge to principal.

The mechanics are simple and the gaming concept piece of cake. The challenge comes with the game'south footstep, which can easily overwhelm you and send your lumberjack to his grave. Timberman is available for low-retentivity devices and while there is one navigational bug, the game is a great add-on to the Windows Phone gaming library.

There's non much in that location, but that'due south non a bad thing

The main menu for 250K Games - Timberman is cursory. Y'all take an option to view the online and local leaderboards, play the game and mute the sounds. Through an update that was pushed out yesterday, the main carte du jour likewise includes two game choices, the forest and hell, forth with 2 character choices, the lumberjack and Death (reminds me of Grimm on the cartoon serial The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy).

Timberman Menu

To unlock the Death you'll need to score 270 cumulative points or chop 800,000 blocks. You tin can always skip all this and pony up a $one.99 in-app buy.

There isn't a aid section but it doesn't take long to choice things upward. You lot play the function of a lumberjack who is tasked with chopping downwardly the tallest tree on the planet. The challenge is to avoid the limbs and avoid the timer (displayed at the top of the game screen) running out.

Two controls are at the bottom of the screen labeled "tap" that you lot tap to have your lumberjack chop on the left or right side of the tree. When y'all make your first chop, the timer begins to count down and as you lot chop, the time is added.

Timberman Game Play

The goal is to see how far you can chop without getting hitting with a limb or the timer running out. The higher you chop, the faster the fourth dimension depletes and the more closer the limbs are grouped.

In playing Timberman, I found that all likewise often the stride of the game would spell my demise all too frequently. I'd be chopping abroad at a fast clip and a limb would sneak upwards and flatten my lumberjack. Timberman is definitely a game that will test your eye hand coordination and patience.

Our advice is to become hooked on the game with the forest fashion. It'due south challenging enough to keep y'all interest in the game and when you lot feel similar torturing yourself, give hell a try. Just don't be shocked if it takes yous a while to score over a dozen or so points (timer moves faster).

Overall Impression

There'southward not much to complain about with 250K Games - Timberman. I wouldn't mind seeing a tutorial but the game is and then simple, you will get the hang of things quickly.

The simply glitch that I could detect is in replaying the game after setting a high score. If your lumberjack is flattened without a loftier score beingness gear up y'all will have the selection to replay the game or visit the leaderboards from the score summary screen. If you gear up a high score the only choice is to visit the leaderboard where you can and so return to game play.

I'm not sure if this is a glitch or by design just it makes jumping dorsum into the game a little cumbersome. Information technology's non a deal billow just there needs to be a re-play pick throughout the game on the score summary screens.

Otherwise, Timberman is a uncomplicated game total of challenge and a slap-up time killer of a game.
