About Cutter Woodsman
Cutter Woodsman is a free wood cutting game in bright 3D. Your woodsman is tied to a tree stump by a rope and runs around it in circles, saw in hand. Hold to let the rope out and swing wide, let go to wind back in, and time it so the saw slices through the trees that stand around the clearing. Each tree comes down in pieces, and the bar at the top counts the trees you have felled.
Barrels, rocks, anvils and hammers stand between the trees. Run your saw into one and it breaks, so every swing is a choice between reaching the next tree and keeping clear. Once per level you can fix the saw and carry on, with a moment of safety. There are seven clearings, and every level adds its own extra obstacles around the stump: from level 3 more of them, from level 6 some roll round the clearing. The season changes every three levels, from a spring meadow and autumn woods to a pine valley, a snowy forest, a desert canyon and a moonlit camp.
Finishing a clearing pays coins, which are shared across TinyJar Games. Spend them on eight saw colours, from Copper and Emerald to Gold and Obsidian, and on upgrades: Shield lets the saw survive a barrel hit each level, and Coin Bonus raises your rewards. The game runs on phones, tablets and computers with no download.
