The game looks really cool, I think the concept of chopping trees and upgrading things is a pretty solid game play loop, however it gets a little stale pretty quick. After a little while it is hard to find motivation to keep chopping the wood. The game is missing like the sense of exploration or a bigger goal that motivates the player to keep chopping. Overall, I enjoyed it and think you did a great job!

I couldn’t agree more! If we would have had more time (or maybe started earlier) we would invest some of it into tuning the chop -> buy -> chop loop for sure. Also one of the things we never got to was to vary the forest a little. Maybe some open spots, boulders, occasional rewards to find etc. But yeah a goal would probably be a great if not necessary addition.
Thanks a lot for the feedback ^_^ Hopefully we’ll continue working on it after the jam and can tackle some improvements :)
