Community Insight:
Before Wayne, we couldnt look at a chainsaw without breaking down into fits of scream-weeping. Now, thanks to the friendly protagonist of this game, we can walk through a Farm and Fleet without a care in the world! Chainsaws are friends, not fiends.
Enjoyed it very much,so addictive.
So far Ive been having a ton of fun playing this game that was made by the famous YouTuber Dorkly. We mean the man and his team did an exceptionally well job on the graphics and all, but we feel like theyre still a few things missing thought that might give it a little boost in popularity…not to mention the lack of data retrieval if you somehow lose your phone or progress in the game.
We dont want anyone to judge this game based on our review; honestly, we would say 5 stars, but theres a couple of problems that Ive had with the game: 1. The Upgrade-to-Nut/Costume-to-Coin rates are kind of rough, meaning youll have to play a LOT to unlock things. This wouldnt be so bad normally, but you HAVE to unlock costumes and upgrades to progress through the story. 2. We had an incident recently where we were on the App Store and a pop-up to sign in and confirm our card info appeared. Not thinking that hard about it, we entered our Security Code. An hour later, we discovered funds missing from our checking account; the deduction was labeled as an Apple Store purchase. When we looked into it, we realized that Waynesaw had charged us money without any prompt besides what looked like an update window. Keep in mind, we did not tap on the option to purchase in-game currency; in fact, the game wasnt even running. We think it was simply our phone experiencing some kind of glitch. Other than that, this game is awesome. Thank you, Based Helpful Tony.
Super fun and just the right amount of challenge. We recently got the game and we love it, super addicting. Fun upgrades are available for Waynesaw.
But the we finished all the quests, upgraded to the invincible saw, have too much of everything to know what to do, and he developers seemed to have abandoned the game.
Just another runner with very little to distinguish itself from other runners. You run, collect coins, avoid obstacles and jump over things. Sure the world is colorful and bright but its not all that attractive and looks a little dated. The saw mechanic is basically just a boost or dash like in any other runner. The game doesnt run very well on our iPhone 6s + and because of the slow downs and stuttering the game is a lot more challenging than it really should be. This game also really drains our battery fast (over 10% drop in less than 5 minutes of gameplay). Overall we feel like this game is a buggy, late entry into an already overly saturated running game market. We may adjust our review later if they update it a little more but as of right now this game is not worth the lack of ASP comics that we could have had instead.
We love this game so much! The graphics are really smooth and colorful. The only issues we have are sometimes it cannot recognize whether its a tap or a swipe up, and we wish it fit to the iPhone X screen. Otherwise its a very fun game, and we cant wait to see what the upcoming updates bring.
The art style here is what really sold it for us. Ive played a few runners before but never really stuck with them. However, the concept for this game is really fun, anthropomorphic chainsaw? Hell yeah. The mechanics are fairly simple and easy to wrap your head around, we also like the addition of a jump move in there. We havent had this much fun Buzz sawing trees and mutated animals since our last summer camp trip years ago.
We heard about this game on drawfee and its a really good game. And getting to know the developer on drawfee made our experience more enjoyable. Its an addicting game and we hope you continue to work on the game and make more games.
Great game but it kills our batteries super fast. So like, we just play it for 5 minutes at a time. Maybe theres too much stuff generating with these awesome graphics. Im not a computer nerd. We guess if youre reading this Id recommend playing on a tablet or iPad. They can probably handle it.
This game, wow, so much good am have had, very pleasing with the graphics and also maybe gameplay? Would recommend to yes download.
A twist on the original infinite runner. With most runners youre constantly having to dodge and avoid, whereas in this one you feel more empowered to actually attack. Nice to see some innovation in this space, plus we found ourselves caring about a little chainsaw much more than we thought we would.
Love the game!! The humor & cleverness as well as the continued story and levels sets it apart from other endless runners. Adorable graphics! Lots of fun! Play it! Good job tony.
From start to finish, a well designed game! Super fun to play and Ive already been in it for a couple hours. We love the art, the gameplay, the humor, the music, the mechanics – its the full package. Do yourself a favor and download this game.
Really impressive game, and great for vegans.
Wayne is a very good boy and so is Tony for making him.
Very fun game if youre on the bus or subway or even just in traffic.
The jokes keep you playing way past your bedtime. Gameplay is smooth and simple. Story cuts have us laughing it loud.
The story, the action the humor. More levels.
Its a fun and free game that we had to try when we saw it on YouTube.
Some guy with a beard at Dorkly said he made this game. Its pretty neato burrito. 10/10.
Finally! A game that is both cute and violent, that we wish we had a little chainsaw for a little friend.
Tons of fun. Really enjoying this one.
This game rocks. Great gameplay and hilarious art direction. If you don't download this game, you're a chump.
Its super very funny, and you can tell he creators worked and cared a lot about this game.
Cool-it has great art Good- The ads are treated not as a punishment for losing but as an optional multiplier for grinding. We dig it. Im a big fan of you Tony and a big fan of Drawfee too.
We really like this game. Its, just fun.
Fun simple runner made original by having a unique sense of humor.
Wish we could get the sound to work.
We really enjoy the music theme and art style! If we could change one thing though, it would be to decrease the amount of time it takes to activate the saw, we find ourselves tapping to completely mutilate a toxic bunny but being knocked down and forced to accept death because the saw didnt activate as soon as we tapped, thats partially on us, but we would definitely like if the response time was a little faster. Other than that, amazing game! Please make more like it.
The perfect hybrid of cuteness and destruction! No B.s. Hidden fee's or in game garbage. Good old fashion pocket gaming! Currently playing it at some random funeral we stumbled in on while eating a fantastic vegan free chicken sandwich. Anyway, DOWNLOAD THIS GAME NOW! WILL NOT REGRET! – 5/5.
Five stars because Tony told us to… And its also great.
You done good kid ya done real good.
This game is super addicting. Have been fans of these developers since maim street. We like that this is a longer form game. The characters are still really fun and the game is great. Highly recommended.
We must confess, we spent more time playing this game than doing our job at work today. Try it and youll love it.
Great game with really nice graphics. It's very addicting! The one caveat is that you have to be ok with sawing down evil woodland creatures.
Our only compliant was that the saw would start even if we were just barely touching the screen to settle.
The game is pretty fun and addictive but we always seem to get a huge frame drop at the worst of times. We would reccomend adding in a minimum loading time on the loading screens… We realy want to read them because rhey seem pretty funny, but our device loads to fast.
We really like the art design of this game, which is a given that we came to this app from the Drawfee Channel. Beyond that and the basic draw of an endless runner that you can pick up and play a little bit at any time, this game offers very little to us and actually feels punishing. The most glaring problem is that, even with Battery Saving Mode on this game drains our battery ridiculously quickly, making it hard to play. The game also freezes for a moment every time we get a checkpoint which often leads to us dying. The least serious problem is that the jump in requirements to unlock the next upgrades jumps significantly and quickly. We get that the draw of these games is to do good enough to earn the currency to get the next upgrade, and as a free game you have to do something to incentivize in-app purchases, so that's not a big deal. However, combined with the battery issue, it just feels like a slog to try to get there.
For a second offering by a new developer, this game is impressively well crafted. The character concept is unique, the overall aesthetic design is fun, and the mechanics seem carefully implemented. That said, its a fairly run-of-the mill endless runnerright down to the in game currency and micro-transactions. To that degree, it comes across as very reminiscent of the Spider-Man runner, including how it controls for the most part. Even then, the tap-and-hold use of the saw attack isnt very intuitive nor responsive, and only lasts for limited bursts. On the whole, we were bored within twenty minutes. It is a fine offering from someone new to mobile game development, but arrives years too late to the scene. The mechanics, in-app micro-transactions, and genre tropes used make this game a sadly generic and boring.
Perfect game but 1 star because theres no Morgoth-Kun.
The random slow down ruins this game. Stuttering frame rate and a ton of bugs (invisible enemies and chainsaw even…) sorry Dorkly guy. Keep the beard until you fix it.
On the surface it looks like any other infinite runner, but its bursting with so much humor, creativity, and weirdness, its quickly become our favorite phone game.
You've probably played endless runners before, so here's another. It plays pretty well, but its greatest strength is great art design. Manages to be both adorable and horrifically violent at the same time, all with a healthy dose of tongue-in-cheek humor. Overall a fun game and very charming.
This game is pretty great, with good humor, and fun gameplay. Highly recommended, its free so why not.
This game has an extremely appealing art style. The controls are also super simple to grasp. Looking forward to future games Tony makes. Keep up the good work.
Saw it. Looked fun. Played it. Was fun. Still playing it. Still fun. 10 out of Playing it, still playing it. Good job. Go team.
Super fun and addicting game that combines two of our favorite things – squirrels and reuniting lost anthropomorphic saws with their families. Very silly, witty, and enjoyable. Enjoy.
Dope game! Keep up the great work Tony (and team).
