Grab your axe and save the environment by chopping and recycling every man-made thing in your path and solving puzzles with your charming animal friends!
Players wield a trusty axe to chop, destroy, and dismantle all the man-made objects and machinery within each level. The controls feel responsive, allowing players to easily swing the axe and interact with the environment. Chopping down objects and solving environmental puzzles provides a satisfying sense of progress as players gradually clear the way to restore natural landscapes.
Beyond the core chopping gameplay, the game introduces light puzzle-solving elements that add an extra layer of challenge. Players must often manipulate objects and machinery in creative ways to progress, such as using bombs to blast open paths or timing the swings of a wrecking ball. These puzzles strike a balance between accessibility and requiring thoughtful problem-solving.
As players progress, they can upgrade their axe to grant increased power and capabilities. This allows them to take down larger and more complex obstacles, creating a sense of progression and empowerment as the protagonist's abilities grow. The upgrade system provides depth and encourages thorough exploration to gather the necessary resources.
The game conveys its themes of environmentalism and corporate greed through a whimsical visual presentation and playful interactions between the bear protagonist and its animal companions. Rather than relying on dialogue or text, the non-verbal approach enhances the game's lighthearted and accessible appeal, allowing players to intuit the narrative.
For players seeking a more in-depth experience, the game offers a variety of optional challenges and achievements to pursue, such as completing levels within a certain number of moves or finding hidden collectibles. The relatively short runtime of around 2-3 hours to complete the main game also encourages repeated playthroughs, as players can quickly revisit levels to achieve 100% completion or experiment with different strategies.
