Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Love playing this game when Im bored.
This is the best game we ever played no cap 67.
But we did get da icon of Florida immediately so theres that.
We like the game very good we do not like the ads our favorite is the gator.
As the title says this game was very nostalgic and imo its better than PvZ but its definitely repetitive still love it a lot.
This game is hard but its very fun there are so many swarms of lamber jacks but we beat it.
Its really an entertaining really fun and we love the fact the little monkeys could pick up the coconut in the bamboo.
Iloooooooooooooove this game so much.
So good used to have this game lost on our progress just got it back its still amazing.
This game was ALWAYS on our mind but we couldnt remember the name and Im so glad we did.
Please give is the option in this game to login to Facebook to save stuff so we can always pick up from where we left off on other devices without having to worry about starting all over again.
Its one of the coolest games Ive ever played.
This game is a lot like Dino bash luckily for you we like Dino Bash so we like your game to.
Ive played this game since we were 3 years old. Now Im 8 years old this game is our favorite game and we want to thank the developers who made this game.
We love this game,but we think it needs more attention from the developers,like more updates and and Mabye even a 2 game.we love this game and thats why we think we need more of the Lumberwhack world.
We think this game is a great example of how games that near perfectly balance both the difficulty of the game and how fun the game is can make the player experience more engaging and more fun than others is. The only thing we would change about this game is the amount of acorns you get per level from 5 to 10 or 15 to make it less of a challenge to afford the special character upgrades.
Its like a tower defense but better its cool how you need to kill to get more and its also cool how you can swing on trees.
UPDATE THIS GAME, CONTINUE THE STORY CONTINUE-> more animals and all that, continueee we support and this is an amazing work of a game. Please continue for real. We love yall.
We never knew a day and game like this would come thats all we have to say no hate.
Best game Ive played in quite a lot. Its super ridiculous cheering at the end of the funniest.
Its the best game ever its challenging but not to challenging we would play this game all our life.
Wanted to play something that was fun and would help pass time. It is a strategic. Didnt expect to be this into the game.
This game is very fun and addictive.
This game is really good! But, we want to see more animals like add a bird, Buffalo and different kinds of animals. It would be cool to make different new maps like Africa,Antartica,Asia and more! In all this game is fun to play when youre bored.
Its so well made and we love the characters.
For all the people who just got the snake use this team itll help you get through all of the normal world and white a lot of the snow world The gorilla theApe The stag and the snake this is the best team for whor four a lot of the actual Game we are so sorry if the writing is so bad.
You wont want to stop its so enjoyable.
This game is amazing (our opinion).
Honestly carried 2014-2015 for us top tier mobile game with low to no ads.
This is a truly great game and worth grinding on like we love all the characters and the story line.we bet you will too because this is like a fun game to just chill and play and this was one of our childhood games when we were much younger.Now we are starting to play more and more again.
Amazing and funny it couldnt get any better.
The game has good graphics and it is so fun we will choose this game over any game.
This game is simple yet calming and just a fun game to play on chill rainy days. We grew up playing Lumberwhack and arent planning to stop anytime soon.
We would give this a 9.9 out of 10 because the animals upgrade version are too expensive but we like it a lot u should add new animal.
Nice graphics not too many adds pretty fun.
Its very cool but not the best.
It is a fun, easy game that is very addicting! We have enjoyed it a lot so far and we just started playing it.
Every thig is good we have no conplans.
HOLY DAM THIS GAME BARELY HAS ADS AND IS SO ADDICTING we LOVE THIS GAME WHOEVER MADE THIS GAME TYSM! We LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH.
One of the best games Ive ever had, its very addicting, very easy to learn and, very easy to understand.
This game is really fun and kind of addicting. Our internet went own as Im writing this and it stills run really well. The only thing that would be cool is just for people with higher end electronics they can make the graphics better. But this still is a mobile game. Absolutely perfect game. Muah.
You wont want to stop its so enjoyable.
Hi we like your game maybe you can make lumber wake2 see you later. Bye.
Our son and we really like playing this game together.
It took us awhile to get the rhythm of this game but as we played it more we found it surprisingly well balanced and replayable. Buying upgrades with in app purchases can help get over some of the difficult stages but it isn't one of those games that makes you feel like they have broken the model just to make money. Overall, we really enjoyed it a lot more than we expected to when we first downloaded it on a whim. We keep coming back to play it and it's better with each update. Keep up the great work.
It has a way of life and no need to be bored.
It hasnt had an update in a long time it needs an update we remember playing this A long time ago.
Lanky box has our son all into Lumberwhack. What can we say? We like to too. Kid and father approved.
We loved this game for a long time and it does not disappoint.
It a really good game Because it was so fun.
