Hi, thanks for your feedbacks,a full map respawn is a great idea, i really love it, for the double spawn theere is already Skill for that, for the second phase idk tbh I prefer simple loop straight to the goal, the steam fest version Will add more challenge for players to deal with
Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback, and I’m glad to hear the Dutch translation is much better now 🙂
All three points are clear — especially the zoom behavior on the skill trees and the focus issue when reopening the Void tree. Those are definitely not intended and I’ll take a closer look at them. The green plus icon staying visible when nothing is available is also a good catch.
Thanks again for taking the time to report all of this, it really helps improve the demo 👍
Thanks for reporting this, that’s a really helpful catch.
You’re right — this is a browser-specific issue. On the web version, progress is currently saved only when the game explicitly triggers a save (for example via the save option in the settings menu or when the player leaves the game view properly).
That said, the flashing / zoomed screen is definitely not intended and counts as a real bug.
Thanks again for taking the time to report it — it really helps improve the game.
Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time to share it.
The cyan (light blue) trees are meant to be a progression wall that becomes much smoother once you unlock the right upgrades in the Void skill tree. If that wasn’t clear while playing, then the game didn’t communicate that well enough, and that’s something I need to improve.
Your experience is totally valid, and I’m looking into better pacing and clearer guidance so this part doesn’t feel frustrating or like a hard stop. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts — it really helps.
Thanks for the feedback, and sorry you ran into that bug with the Fortune upgrade! You’re absolutely right — during development I only tested it with +100% Fortune (my bad 😅), so the issue slipped through. I fixed it this morning and the latest version no longer has this problem. Thanks again for pointing it out, it really helps! 🙏
I’m planning to buff The Forest, and later in the Void Skill Tree you’ll be able to upgrade the wood ratio.
I’ll fix the max Forest price, block the button when you’re at max, and add a 0.01s minimum for the timer so upgrades feel fair.
The Forest should have been reset properly — thanks for catching that.
Regarding the Add Million Wood command, in the full game it will behave differently and not directly affect the skill tree visuals.
The red dot issue on old upgrades still needs work.
About the Infinity Tree, yes — the higher-level upgrades weren’t demo content.
Really appreciate you going through everything — your thoughts on progression, costs, and unique wood mechanics are super helpful for improving the game! 🚀
For the demo, I think the spawn rate is already pretty fast, but I’ll keep an eye on it.
For Time Attack, I’m considering going back to a 5-minute total — I’m a bit wary of broken unlimited sessions, but it could definitely make the mode more challenging!
As for pausing time during the skill tree, I think for beginners or if the layout changes, it’s fine to give players a bit of time to read and plan. Otherwise, leaving it running could be a nice way to add pressure and keep the challenge up.
Thanks again, and fingers crossed for the Steam release! 🎮
Si tu l’as fait une fois dans le menu, désolée, mais ça ne fonctionne qu’une seule fois. Je n’avais pas prévu que quelqu’un essaie depuis le menu. Il faudra attendre la prochaine version, ou alors supprimer ta sauvegarde et recommencer avec le cheat qui donne 1 million de bois de chaque.
I think it’s because you did the cheat code before being in plains, like you did the cheat code in the menu and then Go to plains and boom 1 million to zéro but yes I Will fix this
The skills and costs will be balanced in the next update, and every tree — except the first two — will have a unique mechanic. For now it’s just a demo, so none of the trees have special mechanics yet, except for the chest tree that gives a lot of resources when you chop it. The Forest will stay separate and will be upgradeable through the skill tree.
I didn’t fully understand your whole comment, but if I got it right: yes, the wood counter resets to 0 as soon as you harvest any. So the cheat doesn’t really help at the start.
And yeah, the cheat code is meant more for returning players, not for brand-new ones.
I actually came up with the idea while I was supposed to be studying for my exams. I was getting really fed up, so to destress and disconnect a bit, I decided to make a game where you just cut trees. There are already tons of mining games, so in my head the next logical step after mining was… trees. And that’s how Chop Chain was born. 😄
➡️ About the Infinite Tree: The transition will come back later! For now, I prefer having the Infinite Tree inside the Plains — it gives more stimulation to tryhard and dedicated players instead of just waiting for trees to spawn.
➡️ Medium Logs: All the logs will be completely redrawn by an artist, don’t worry.
➡️ Number keys issue: You need to be in fullscreen for that to work. Which keyboard are you using, AZERTY or QWERTY?
➡️ The mole: I’m going to remove the mole in the demo; it’s not really visually ready yet.
➡️ Forest Timer: The whole Forest area will be reworked to be more fun and better overall.
➡️ Icons: Yeah, the icons are pretty bad right now — they all come from an old cursor asset pack. New ones are planned.
➡️ Music loop: I’ve already fixed the music looping in the next patch.
➡️ Someone pretending to be me: Yes, I saw it. I’ve already deleted 5+ messages from someone pretending to be me and trying to scam Chop Chains players. DON’T CLICK those links. If you want faster answers or the latest news, feel free to join the Discord — Itch comments are a bit slow. And I will never post download links in my own comments.
➡️ Music: Thanks! Though this probably won’t be the final soundtrack.
➡️ Thanks! Haha, thank you for the dedication! (Try typing “WOODMAX” while playing 😉)
Thanks a lot for all your feedback — it helps me a ton. For the past two weeks I’ve been trying to fix and improve things as fast as I can. I hope you’ll enjoy the next patch!
Hi! Thanks for your feedback 😊. Could you explain a bit more about the issue? For example, what device and OS you’re using, and exactly what happens before the crash? It’ll help me fix it faster!
Yes, that’s true, they don’t trigger chains right now—I’ll fix that using the old logic. And for the visual glitch, I think it happens when the trees respawn too quickly or get destroyed too fast, I’ll look into that too.
The Infinity Tree is actually a tree that instantly respawns somewhere else on the plains every time you cut it. That’s why it looks like it breaks without giving anything new — but it’s meant to reappear immediately in another spot.
